back‐panel component. The only difference between PA‐5200 Series firewall back panels is the power
supply type installed—they each can have two AC or two DC power supplies. The image shows a PA‐5220
firewall with AC power supplies. To view an image of the DC power supplies, see Connect DC Power to a

Two fan trays that provide ventilation and cooling for the firewall. Each fan tray
contains four fans and a status LED.
While facing the back of the firewall, fan tray 1 is on the left and fan tray 2 is on the
right.
Do not use the fan tray handles to lift or move the firewall.
