Requirements
At least one acve AC or DC power supply is required to operate a PA-5400 Series firewall.
Factors that can change your power requirements are the number of Networking Cards (NCs) and
Data Processor Cards (DPCs) used and your power redundancy requirement.
To determine the number of acve power supplies required to operate the appliance, refer to
PA-5400 Series Power Supply Chart
the column that coincides with the number of installed DPCs. Each power supply requirement in
the table accounts for the installaon of 1 or 2 NCs. To provide full redundancy, install double the
minimum number of power supplies specified in the table. A fully redundant power configuraon
means that half of the installed power supplies can fail and the appliance and installed NCs and
DPCs will sll funcon.
