        So, My recent adventure included….guess... pfsense and an IP390. I think this may help you guys with the LED's. The IP390 I got on eBay had a factory reset cf with ipso 4.2, and turned off the led's, where pfsense did not, I decided to dig.

        From file "ipso_startup_complete" from a seperate ipso 6.2 install at "~\ipso-6.2\ipso-6.2\etc\rc.d"

        ipsctl -w -n hw:sys_stat:state:startup 0 hw:sys_stat:state:ok

        Let me know if this is a projected that was given up on, or if someone needs ref. files.

          If you have the files we can look at them but I thought they existed only as compiled binaries.

              Sorry I don't actually have an IP390 to test that.
              Someone else might be able to use the binary on the real hardware ans look for the settings it's making.

                Just coming back to give an update on my pfSense project on my IP390:

                It's been amazing for the time i've been running it now. Hasn't crashed once. Admittedly I didn't get all the lights working properly so it still displays the system error light but if otherwise it works fine. Only problem I had was when an engineer decided to disconnect the internal fans and it blew a power supply! I had a spare so that was fine, but recommendation: replace all those fans, and make sure they're plugged in. Seriously not cool if you don't have a spare supply around.

                  Not so much given up on, but I haven't really had the time to continue messing as late. But i'm guessing that you're talking about an IPSO command right there? I think I found that when I was digging around in the IPSO firmware that came on one of my units. I think I tried to look into this but we need the hardware reference of "sys_stat" in order to set this on or off.

                    Just wondered if you know the error codes on startup - I have an ip390 here and was working fine - restarted it and I get 41 on the on board LED and no serial output.

                      A few quick searches show "41 - OEM post memory initialization codes", maybe swap out ram, or maybe bad ram slot?

                        there are 3 LED related functions in the Check Point kernel ...

                        • janus_pld_red_led_set (Bit 0x01)
                        • janus_pld_yellow_led_set (Bit 0x02)
                        • janus_pld_green_led_set (Bit 0x08)
                          they write to port 0x348 ... this seems to be the Altera MAX II chip (PLD) next to the diag display
                          btw: the PLD also monitors powersupply status
                          ... and there are 4 LED related functions for 'Phalanx PLD' ...
                        • phalanx_pld_red_led_set
                        • phalanx_pld_yellow_led_set
                        • phalanx_pld_green_led_set
                        • phalanx_pld_disk_led_set *****
                          this might be the explanation for the 'missing' led on the frontpanel PCB (Bit 0x04 is assume)
                          hope this helps - sorry for the late reply ;)
