For years Tobias Lachmann posted a list of Check Point hardware, for the last time on July 30th 2015. I will try to continue and extend the list for the new appliances. Therefore I need your contribution. If you have an appliance at your fingers please be so kind to issue these commands

  • CPU TE1000X
  • RAM for SandBlast Appliances from Product Catalogue
