PA-7000 Series Module and Interface
Card Information
The PA-7000 Series firewalls are modular systems and requires a minimum set of front slot cards. The
required cards include the Switch Management Card (SMC), Log Processing Card (LPC), and at least
one Network Processing Card (NPC). To expand port density and throughput, you can install a total of
six NPCs in the PA-7050 firewall and ten NPCs in the PA-7080 firewall. For details on installing front
slot cards, see "Install the Mandatory Front Slot Cards" on page 52.

Note: Although all front slot cards have protection to prevent damage if they are
installed or removed when the chassis is powered on, only the NPC is intended to be
hot-swapped.
