You have a bootable USB stick with the SFOS on it. Now the installation to the appliance can begin.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: With the installation of the SFOS on your firewalls, the hard disk is completely overwritten and the device is completely reset. <strong>No configurations will be taken over!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect the appliance to a monitor (a keyboard is not necessary), plug in the USB stick and turn on the firewall.<strong>Info<\/strong>: The appliance automatically boots from a USB device by default. First, the hard disk is formatted and the new OS is installed automatically. No key input is necessary. In our tests with an SG 125 with HDD (no SSD), the process took just under 18 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As soon as the installation of the SFOS is finished, the message <strong>&#8220;remove installer Disk &#8211; press y to reboot&#8221;<\/strong> appears.<strong>Info<\/strong>: You can now remove the USB stick. If you have a keyboard connected and want to press <em>y<\/em>, remember that the keyboard settings are set to <strong>US.<\/strong>  So you would have to press <em>z<\/em>. However, you can simply remove the USB stick and disconnect the box from the power supply and restart it. This also works. \ud83d\ude03<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
