Install the Firewall

There are three ways to install the PA-220 firewall:
• On a flat surface
• On a wall
• In a 19" equipment rack
The PA-220 firewall ships with rubber pads for a desktop installation and one
wall-mount kit for installing the firewall on a wall. The 19" rack kit is optional
and purchased separately—refer to the PA-220 Next-Gen Firewall Hardware
Reference for information on the rack kit.

Install the Firewall on a Flat Surface

Attach the rubber pads to the recessed circles on the bottom of the firewall
and place the firewall securely on a stable flat surface.

Install the Firewall on a Wall

1. Temporarily secure the
you intend to mount the firewall and use it to mark the location for each of
the three wall-mount screws
the paper and visibly mark the wall; then remove the template and verify
measurements.
2. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the appropriate screws into each of the
three marked locations:
7.5 cm
• Drywall—First press a drywall anchor slightly into the center of a template mark.
Then use your screwdriver to apply pressure while turning the anchor clockwise
until the surface of the anchor is flush with the wall. After the drywall anchor
is secure, install a 1.25" anchor screw into the anchor until the bottom of the
screw head protrudes ¼" from the wall. Repeat this step for the other two screw
locations. If any screw location is located over wood, use a .75" wood screw
instead of a drywall anchor and screw.
• Plywood wall—Use your screwdriver to insert a .75" wood screw into the center
of each template mark that is located over wood until the bottom of the screw
heads protrude ¼" from the wall.
3. Align the three holes on the bottom of
the firewall with the three screws on the
wall and hang the firewall on the screws
(Figure
4. Install the power adapter in the power
adapter wall-mount bracket using the
Velcro strap and cable tie
sure to align the cable tie with the notches
in the bracket to prevent the power cord
from falling out.
5. Mount the power adapter wall-mount
bracket next to the firewall
wood or drywall screws as appropriate.
You can install an optional second power
adapter next to the first power adapter for
(Figure 1)
power redundancy.
