Power On the Firewall
The PA-5200 Series firewall ships with either two AC or two DC power supplies to provide power redundancy. This section
describes how to connect AC power. For information on connecting DC power, refer to the PA-5200 Series Next-Gen Firewall
Hardware Reference at https:/ /www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/platforms.
1. Remove the nuts, star washers, and two-post ground lug from the two-post ground studs and attach a 6-AWG ground cable
(not included) to the two-post ground lug. Reinstall the ground lug and secure it to the studs using the star washers and nuts
and torque to 25 in-lbs (Figure 7). Connect the other end of the ground cable to earth ground.
2. Connect one of the AC power cords to power input 1 on the back of the firewall
supply using the Velcro strap (Figure 9).
3. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source. After power is connected, the green OK LED on the
power supply shows green and the corresponding LED (PWR 1 or PWR 2) on the front of the firewall shows green.
4. Connect a second power cord to power input 2, secure it to the power supply with the Velcro strap, and connect the other
end of the cord to an AC power source.
Connect the second power cord through a different circuit breaker to provide power redundancy and allow for
electrical circuit maintenance.

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 (Figure 10).
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. The console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, maintenance mode, and the com-
mand line interface (CLI).
