Installing the Hardware
This chapter describes how to install the PA-200 firewall. For more information, refer to the
following topics:
• “Tamper Proof Statement” on page 9
• “Before You Begin” in the next section
• “Connecting Cables to the Device” on page 10
• “Connecting Power” on page 10
Tamper Proof Statement
To ensure that products purchased from Palo Alto Networks have not been tampered with
during shipping, verify the following upon receipt of each product:
• The tracking number provided to you electronically when ordering the product matches
the tracking number that is physically labelled on the box or crate.
• The integrity of the tamper-proof tape used to seal the box or crate has not been
compromised.
• The warranty seals on the device itself do not show evidence of tampering. Being a
modular system, please note that the PA-7050 does not have a warranty seal.
Before You Begin
• Verify that the intended location has adequate air circulation and meets the temperature
requirements. Refer to
“Environmental Specifications” on page 14.
• Unpack the device.
• Verify that power is not connected to the firewall.
• Allow clear space on all sides, back, and top of the firewall to allow for proper cooling. Do
not stack PA-200 firewalls.

Connecting Cables to the Device
Network Management Console
Note: The PA-200 firewall uses a combination of passive and active cooling and
needs proper airflow on all surfaces to ensure proper operation. Do not install the
PA-200 firewall in a small, confined space such as a closed shelf or drawer, as this
could lead to insufficient cooling of the device.
Connecting Cables to the Device
Figure 3 shows the PA-200 cable connections. Refer to Table 1 for descriptions of the front
panel interfaces.
Figure 3. Cable Connections for the PA-200 Firewall
Connecting Power
To power the PA-200 firewall:
1. Attach a power cable to the external power supply.
2. Plug the power supply into the PA-200 firewall.
3. Plug the cable into a grounded wall outlet.

Chapter 3
Maintaining the Hardware
This chapter provides maintenance information for the PA-200 hardware. For more
information, refer to the following topics:
• “Cautions and Warnings” in the next section
• “Interpreting the Device LEDs” on page 12
• “Interpreting the Port LEDs” on page 13
Cautions and Warnings
This section describes the cautions and warnings that you must be familiar with before
working with the hardware:
• “Hardware Cautions” on page 11
• “Hardware Warnings” on page 11
Hardware Cautions
• Disconnect the power cord before servicing the PA-200 firewall.
• Shielded Ethernet interface cables should be used to ensure agency compliance with
electromagnetic emissions (EMC). Connecting a PoE enabled port to the firewall is not
recommended because the system does not support the PoE operating mode.
• To prevent damage from electrical surges, use a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and
implement the facilities lightning protection requirements outlined in the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 780: Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection
Systems (or similar effective measures per local regulations).
Hardware Warnings
• Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with government regulations.
