The NetScreen-5000 Series can use two kinds of power supplies:
•Alternating Current (AC) Power Supply
•Direct Current (DC) Power Supply
The slots for these power supplies are located in the back of the NetScreen-5200 and on
the front of the NetScreen-5400.
Note: You can order a NetScreen-5000 Series that runs on DC power. For DC-powered
units, the power supply has a DC terminal block with three sockets.
When two or more power supplies are in service, they share the power load equally. The
power supplies are hot-swappable, so you can remove one and replace it without affecting
operation. Each power supply is intended to receive power from separate feeds.
When one power supply fails, the other(s) automatically assume the full load and the
device logs a system alarm. This alarm is viewable through the WebUI or a console
accessing the NetScreen Command Line Interface (CLI). The Alarm LED on the
management module glows red in response to any power supply failure.
Power Supplies
Warning: You must replace the failed power supply as soon as possible; otherwise, system
damage may result. See “Servicing the Device” on page 35 for instructions on how to
replace a power supply.

Chapter 1 Overview
NetScreen-5200 Power Recommendations
Although the NetScreen-5200 can run with one power supply, it is advisable to install
both. This practice minimizes the likelihood of system failure due to individual power
supply failure.
When either power supply fails, the Alarm LED on the management module glows red. If
both are operational, the Alarm LED is off. For more information on power supply LEDs,
see Appendix B, Port Descriptions and LED Status.
NetScreen-5400 Power Recommendations
When the NetScreen-5400 contains only two modules, it can operate with one power
supply. However, if the system contains three or four modules, the system requires at
least two power supplies. In either case, it is advisable to install all three power supplies.
This practice minimizes the likelihood of system failure due to individual power supply
failure.
When any power supply fails, the Alarm LED on the management module glows red.
While all three are operational, the Alarm LED is off. For more information on power
supply LEDs, see Appendix B, Port Descriptions and LED Status.

Chapter 1 Overview
Secure Port Modules
Secure Port Modules (SPMs) perform general packet processing and device connection
tasks for devices that communicate with the NetScreen-5000 Series. These modules are
based around the GigaScreen-II ASIC.
SPMs handle packets as they enter and exit the system, providing packet parsing,
classification, and flow-level processing. SPMs also provide encryption, decryption,
Network Address Translation (NAT), and session lookup features. When packets require
processing beyond that provided by an SPM, the NetScreen-5000 Series hands them off to
the management module for further processing.
There are currently two SPM models:
•The 5000-8G SPM, with eight mini-GBIC Gigabit Ethernet ports.
•The 5000-2G24FE SPM, with two mini-GBIC Gigabit Ethernet ports and 24 10/
100 Ethernet ports.
The 5000-8G SPM
The 5000-8G SPM provides eight Gigabit Ethernet mini-Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC) ports using hot-swappable transceivers. The 5000-8G delivers up to 4 Gigabitsper-second (Gbps) of firewall and up to 2 Gbps of Virtual Private Network (VPN) capacity.
This module is also capable of supporting a total of four aggregate interfaces.
(For details on connecting or removing a mini-GBIC transceiver and connecting and
disconnecting a Gigabit Ethernet cable, see Chapter 4, Servicing the Device.)

The location of the chassis and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are
crucial for proper system operation.
Use the following guidelines while configuring your equipment rack.
•Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should have
louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
•When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not
block the intake or exhaust ports. If you install the chassis on slides, check the
position of the chassis when it is seated all the way into the rack.
•In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, equipment higher in the
rack can draw heat from the lower devices. Always provide adequate ventilation
for equipment at the bottom of the rack.
•Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air. The best placement of the baffles
depends on the airflow patterns in the rack.
You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting requires
the following tools:
•1 Phillips-head screwdriver
•Rack-compatible screws
•The included rear slide kit (for the rear and front mount method) on the
NetScreen-5200
•Front-mount brackets

Establishing an HA Connection
STABLISHING AN
E
To assure continuous traffic flow in the event of system failure, you can cable and
configure two NetScreen devices in a redundant cluster, with one device acting as a
master and the other as its backup. The master propagates all its network, configuration
and session information to the backup. Should the master fail, the backup is promoted to
master and takes over the traffic processing.
To physically connect the master and backup devices, the 5000-M and 5000-M2
management modules provide a pair of High Availability (HA) ports. To connect the
NetScreen-5000 Series devices, you can use the provided Gigabit Ethernet mini-GBIC
cable. Use this cable to connect the HA1 port on one system to the HA1 port on another
system. Though you cannot connect HA ports between 5000-M and 5000-M2 management
modules, you can connect HA ports between the same type of management module. For
example, a 5000-M management module to another 5000-M management module.

A NetScreen-5000 Series device supports two operational modes: Transparent and Route.
The default mode is Route.

ODES
Transparent Mode
In Transparent mode, a NetScreen-5000 Series device operates as a Layer-2 bridge.
Because the device cannot translate packet IP addresses, it cannot perform Network
Address Translation (NAT). Consequently, for the device to access the Internet, any IP
address in your trusted (local) networks must be routable and accessible from untrusted
(external) networks.
In Transparent mode, the IP addresses for the Layer-2 Trust and Untrust zones are
0.0.0.0, thus making the NetScreen-5000 Series device invisible to the network. However,
the device can still perform firewall, VPN, and traffic management according to
configured security policies.
Route Mode
In Route mode, a NetScreen-5000 Series device operates at Layer 3. Because you can
configure each interface using an IP address and subnet mask, you can configure
individual interfaces to perform NAT.
•When the interface performs NAT services, the NetScreen-5000 Series device
translates the source IP address of each outgoing packet into the IP address of
the untrusted interface. It also replaces the source port number with a
randomly-generated value.
•When the interface does not perform NAT services, the source IP address and
port number in each packet header remain unchanged. Therefore, to reach the
Internet your local hosts must have routable IP addresses.
For more information on NAT, see the NetScreen Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
