10 GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide
Installing GB-Ware on PC Hardware
GB-Ware software must be installed on x86 (Intel-compatible) computer hardware before you can use your firewall. The GB-Ware installation CD will install the firewall software onto your computer hardware.
Requirements
GB-Ware can be installed either on a bootable Compact Flash disk or hard drive on the intended firewall, or installed onto a Compact Flash disk using a USB reader/writer on a proxy computer, and then later inserted into the intended firewall.
See the Appendix for instructions on installing a Compact Flash card and Compact Flash adapter.
To install GB-Ware directly onto the Compact Flash card or hard drive of the intended firewall, you will need the following components:
•x86 (Intel-compatible) computer with 64 MB RAM
•USB or parallel port (on the motherboard only)
•ATAPI (IDE) CD-ROM drive
•video card, monitor and keyboard (video console only)
•ATA (IDE) compliant hard disk drive or a GTA-certified 512 MB Compact Flash disk and Compact Flash IDE adapter
•GB-Ware software and hardware key block with activation code
To copy GB-Ware onto a Compact Flash disk using a computer other than the intended firewall (for later installation in the intended firewall), you will need these components:
•x86 (Intel-compatible) computer with a USB port and ATAPI (IDE) CD-ROM drive
•GTA-certified 512 MB Compact Flash card
•USB Compact Flash card reader/writer, such as SanDisk® ImageMate™
•GB-Ware software and hardware key block with activation code
Note
GTA recommends installing only hardware required by GB-Ware- or GB-Ware options. Superfluous devices such as SCSI controllers and sound cards remain unused and may in some cases decrease firewall performance.
