PA-5400 Series Firewall Module and
Interface Card Informaon
The PA-5400 Series firewalls are modular systems that require a Base Card (BC) and
a Management Processor Card (MPC) to operate. The BC is an internal baseboard
that provides connecons to the front card slots, power supplies, and fan assemblies.
The two types of front slot cards, Networking Cards (NC) and Data Processing Cards
(DPC), are interfaced with the BC on the front of the appliance. A minimum of one
NC and one DPC are required for the system to run. Due to the seven front slot
arrangement, you can install up to two NCs and four DPCs or one NC and five DPCs.
For details on installing front slot cards, see
Firewall Front Slot
The NC and DPC are hot-swappable while the BC and MPC are not.
