Health and Safety Information
Read the following warnings before setting up or using the appliance.
Warning - Do not block air vents. A minimum
1/2-inch clearance is required.
Warning - This appliance does not contain
any user-serviceable parts. Do not remove
any covers or attempt to gain access to the
inside of the product. Opening the device or
modifying it in any way has the risk of
personal injury and will void your warranty.
The following instructions are for trained
service personnel only.
To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to handle it with care. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:
When handling the board, to use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge
elimination.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Handle the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or gold contacts.
When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge
fingers.
Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the
antistatic bag when they are not in use or not installed in the chassis. Some circuitry on the
system board can continue operating even though the power is switched off.
Under no circumstances should the lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be
allowed to short. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn
hazard.
Warning - DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF
BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR
EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

Health and Safety Information
UTM-1 Getting Started Guide | 5
Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you connect or
disconnect cables or install or remove any system board components. Failure to do this can
result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if
touched.
Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can
occur in seconds.
For California:
Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply. See

Terminology
The following UTM-1 terms are used in this guide:
Gateway: The security engine that enforces the organization’s security policy and acts as a
security enforcement point.
Security Policy: The policy created by the system administrator that regulates the flow of
incoming and outgoing communication.
Security Management server: The server used by the system administrator to manage
the security policy. The organization’s databases and security policies are stored on the
Security Management server and downloaded to the gateway.
SmartConsole: GUI applications that are used to manage various aspects of security
policy enforcement. For example, SmartView Tracker is a SmartConsole application that
manages logs.
SmartDashboard: A SmartConsole GUI application that is used by the system
administrator to create and manage the security policy.
Locally managed deployment: When all Check Point components responsible for both
the management and enforcement of the security policy (the Security Management server
and the gateway) are installed on the same machine.

Introduction
12 | UTM-1 Getting Started Guide
Centrally managed deployment: When the gateway and the Security Management server
are installed on separate machines.
UTM-1 cluster: Refers to two UTM-1 devices with synchronized Security Management
servers and gateways.

Starting the Gaia First Time Configuration Wizard
To start the First Time Configuration Wizard:
1. Connect a standard network cable to the appliance management interface and to your
management network.
The management interface is marked INT. This interface is preconfigured with the IP
address 192.168.1.1.
2. Connect to the management interface from a computer on the same network subnet.
For example: IP address 192.168.1.x and net mask 255.255.255.0. This can be
changed in the WebUI, after you complete the First Time Configuration Wizard.
3. To access the management interface, open a connection from a browser to the default
management IP address: https://192.168.1.1
4. The login page opens. Log in to the system using the default username and password:
admin and admin
5. Click Login.
Note - The features configured in the First Time
Configuration Wizard are accessible after completing the
wizard using the WebUI menu. The WebUI menu can be
accessed by navigating to
https://<appliance_ip_address>.
6. The First Time Configuration Wizard runs.

interface. You can change the Management IP address. Connectivity is maintained with an
automatically created secondary interface. After you complete the First Time Configuration

18 | UTM-1 Getting Started Guide
Wizard, you can remove this interface in the Interface Management > Network Interfaces
page.
DHCP Server - You can configure the Gaia appliance to be a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server.
To define a DHCP server on the Gaia appliance INT interface:
1. In DHCP Server, select Enabled.
2. Define the IP Pool. This is the range of IPv4 addresses that the server assigns to hosts.
