XG Firewall Home Edition on SG Hardware

The Sophos XG can be successfully installed on a Sophos UTM 120 rev. 5 (2GB RAM) appliance but it was bit tricky!

The CDROM was found and accepted as boot medium but the appliance was catched in a boot loop. So I was forced to flush the BIOS configuration (via jumper setting on the mainboard) to get it boot from the CDROM. After that trick the installation was possible and successful.

Then I faced the next problem: The appliance was up and via ICMP reachable, but TCP4444 was definitely down. I rebooted the device servel times and later on I just waited about 10 minutes and then TCP4444 became surprisingly reachable.

Now the XG works fine.

I have installed the software version on the UTM 120 rev. 5 and there was no order to use the hardware version. Maybe because I have deleted all partitions first?

XG installer should wipe all of the partitions anyway (there is a warning to accept before continuing).

p.s Nobody here mentioned Beethoven "Per Elisa" theme from UTM120 internal beeper, after the installation was finished....it scared me the first time...[;)]

try to boot the ISO from an USB-stick... the speaker will flipp out ^^

I've always used Win32 Disk Imager for this task, as suggested on the forum during Partner pre-release and Beta phases.

One would expect some beep-ing immediately after the powering the device, but not after 30 minutes while sitting alone in an low-light office environment,  with the device starting to beeps Beethoven melody...[;)]
