Connect to the Management Interface
1. Connect the standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port on your computer to the MGT port on the firewall.
2. Change the IP address on your computer to an address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network, such as 192.168.1.2.
3. From a web browser, go to https://192.168.1.1.
4. When prompted, log in to the web interface using the default username and password (
admin
/
admin
).
(
Optional
) If you are not able to connect to the management web interface, you can check the status of the firewall by
connecting to the console port using the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (provided) and terminal emulation software, or by
using the micro USB port if you have PA-7050-SMC-B (refer to
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/micro-usb-
console-port
). The console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, maintenance mode, and the command
line interface (CLI).
Front Slot Card Installation
The PA-7050 firewall requires that you install a minimum of three cards in the front slots of the chassis. These cards include
the following: The Switch Management Card (SMC) provides management connectivity to the chassis, HA ports, and the
chassis status LEDs. The Logging Card (either the Log Processing Card or the Log Forwarding Card) performs log processing
or forwarding functions. The Network Processing Card (NPC) connects the firewall to a data network; you can have more
than one NPC.
The Logging Card and NPC use micro switches in the levers that power down the card when you release the inner
levers. The logging card micro switches are on both sides of the card and are activated when pulling the inner lever.
Avoid moving these levers when the chassis is powered on except when removing the card.
To avoid damaging the front slot cards, install them after you mount the chassis into the rack and with the chassis
powered off. The SMC and logging card are hot-swappable; however, in a single chassis configuration, removing either
card causes the chassis to power down. If the chassis is in a high availability (HA) configuration, a failover will occur if
you remove the SMC or logging card.

1. Ensure the chassis is powered off and that no power cords or cables are connected.
2. Attach the provided ESD strap to your wrist and plug the other end in to one of the ESD ports located on the front of the
chassis—there are three to choose from along the bottom row.
3. Remove the SMC from the antistatic bag and then open both card levers. The SMC uses two levers on each side of the card
as shown in Figure 5. You must pull both inner levers toward you to unlock the outer levers.
4. Slide the card into slot 4 until it is about 1/4” from being fully inserted, ensuring that card levers are in the open position.
Adjust the levers on each side of the card to align with chassis, push the card in, and then simultaneously push the levers
toward the chassis to close them and seat the card. Tighten the thumb screws (use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, if
needed).
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to install one or more NPCs. You can install up to six NPCs using slots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
6. Remove the logging card (LPC or LFC) from the antistatic bag and then open both card levers. The logging card uses two
levers on each side of the card as shown in Figure 5. You must pull both inner levers toward you to unlock the outer levers.
7. Install the logging card in the chassis by sliding it into slot 8 as shown in Figure 5 until it is about 1/4” from being fully
inserted, ensuring that card levers are in the open position. Adjust the levers on each side of the card to align with chassis,
push the card in, and then simultaneously push the levers toward the chassis to close them and seat the card. Tighten the
thumb screws (use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, if needed).
Steps 8-10 apply only to the LPC. The LFC does not use AMC modules, so you can skip these steps if installing an LFC.
8. Remove each of the four AMCs from the antistatic bags and ensure that the front handles are pulled out to the unlocked
position.
9. Insert each of the four AMCs into the empty logging card drive slots as shown in Figure 6.
10. After you install each AMC into the logging card slots, push the front handle in to lock the AMCs to the logging card. You
can install the AMCs in any order during the initial installation. When you power on the firewall for the first time, the system
formats the drives and puts them into two RAID 1 pairs. The two drives on the left are put into the first RAID 1 pair and the
two drives on the right are put into a second RAID 1 pair.
