new 220-utm rev5 - how to get hardware and software specifications

Dear all,

I'm a complete newbie in firewalls et al., but I happen to have 2 identical sophos 220-utm rev5 firewalls, and I would like to find what hardware specifications they have. So could you please tell me how to:

1. get to BIOS? (to find out the cpus/RAMs installed)

2. to determine what software is installed (and what versions) - I only know that the hard-drives from each unit were removed, and the units were reset to factory configs/defaults.

I think, most probably more information will be needed to be added to make things clear, please do not hesitate to ask for them:)

I thank you for your time and support!

Hi radu d

Sophos UTM 220 hardware is the end-of-life which you can find in this KBA Sophos UTM and XG Firewall: Retirement calendar. However, you may find this old community thread helpful if you're looking to use the hardware https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/hardware-installation-up2date-licensing/95782/unofficial-sophos-utm-220-rev-5---hardware-upgrade-list-cpu-and-ram. Hope this helps.

Regards

Thank Jaydeep for your answer!

So you basically say I might have the standard Celeron E1500 (Conroe family) @ 2.2GHz LGA775 and 2x1GB DDR3 sticks?

Could you tell me how to get to BIOS? Thank you once again!

Looks like it.

You should be able to plug a VGA cable to display on a monitor and a keyboard to perform tasks. That should work.

Thank you Jaydeep!

I apologize my questions are not very objective: Do you happen to know what key should I press in order to get into BIOS? Some manufactures prefer DEL key, others F9, etc. (the things are displayed to fast and I don't see any message; besides this I have an old USB keyboard which I don't know how much time it needs to become fully operational)

Thank you very much for all your time and support!

Salut Radu and welcome to the UTM Community!

Plug in the keyboard and the monitor before you power on one of the units. Do you see a login prompt on the screen?

Thank you Bob!

I've managed to get to the login prompt... do you happen to know what is the default (factory) username and password (it's nice to be root, but I don't want to mess all the hardware and installed software packages, so ... it there any other user available?)

Thank you!

Hi radu d

If you are able to SSH or console into the device and asked login credentials, then you should try as root user. However, you will need to reset the password for that using this KBA Sophos UTM: How to recover access in the event of password loss

If you are able to log into the WebAdmin, please try the default admin username and password admin and if that does not work, use the above mentioned article to reset that password.
