The PA-5450 firewall makes use of paired
power from a Data Processing Card (DPC) to a corresponding NC. When installing a
DPC, you must install it in the correct slot to pair with the NC.
STEP 4 |
Push on both ejector handles until they lock the card into place.
STEP 5 |
(
Optional
) Repeat Steps 3 through 5 in slot 2 if you wish to install a second NC.
STEP 6 |
(
If you have unused front slots
) Install a blank panel into each unused card slot to help the
appliance maintain system air flow. Ensure that the bottom “teeth” of the blank panel fit into
the notches on the bottom of the slot. Rotate the blank panel upwards until it snaps at the top
of the slot.
Configure Session Distribution on a PA-5400 Series Firewall
After the firewall is installed and powered on, you can review the available session distribution policies to
determine if it makes sense for you to change the default policy to better fit your environment. For details,
in the PAN-OS Networking Administrator’s Guide.
Install a PA-5400 Series Firewall Data Processor Card (DPC)
STEP 1 |
Attach the provided ESD strap to your wrist and plug the other end in to the ESD port location
on the front of the appliance. See
for the location of the ESD port.
STEP 2 |
Remove the NC from the antistatic bag. Push the top and bottom ejector tabs towards each
other to allow the ejector levers to rotate into an open position.
The image below shows a Management Processor Card (MPC); however, the procedure
to install the DPC is the same.
