Why each option
Check Point recommends using USB media created with the ISOMorphic tool as the preferred method for fresh installations on Check Point appliances.
SmartUpdate is used to upgrade or update packages on already-running Gaia systems, not for fresh OS installations on appliances.
DVD media is a legacy method and is not recommended for current appliances, many of which lack optical drives entirely.
Check Point ISOMorphic is a utility that converts a Check Point ISO image into a bootable USB drive, and USB-based installation is the officially recommended method for installing Gaia OS on appliances. Modern Check Point hardware is optimized for USB boot, and USB media is more reliable and faster than optical media.
Cloud-based installation is not a standard or recommended method for installing Gaia OS on physical Check Point appliances.
