PA-7000 Series Firewall Installaon
STEP 1 | Put the provided ESD wrist strap on your wrist ensuring that the metal contact is touching
your skin. Then aach (snap) one end of the ground cable to the wrist strap and remove the
alligator clip from the banana clip on the other end of the ESD grounding cable. Plug the
banana clip end into one of the ESD ports located on the front of the chassis before handling
ESD sensive hardware. For details on the ESD port locaon, see
or PA-7080 Front Panel
STEP 2 |
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the blank slot covers for each slot in which you will
install an NPC.
STEP 3 | Remove the first NPC from the anstac bag and parally slide it into any of the available
NPC slots, ensuring that the handles are in the open posion. When the card is about 1/4-
inch from being fully inserted, adjust the levers to align with the chassis and then close the
levers to seat the card in place.
STEP 4 | Install the second NPC (of the same model) in the other chassis in the HA pair in the same
slot you installed the NPC in the first chassis. For example, if you installed the first NPC in
slot 3 of the first chassis, install the second NPC in slot 3 of the second chassis.
Aer you install the firewall in the rack and power it on as described in
PA-7000 Series
Refer to Verify the PA-7000 Series Firewall NPC Configuraon
check the status of the NPCs.
Run the following command to power-on both NPCs in the HA pair:
admin@PA-7050> request
chassis power-on slot <slot-number> target ha-pair
For example, if you installed the NPCs in slot 3 of each chassis, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050> request
chassis power-on slot s3 target ha-pair
This will simultaneously power-on both cards in each chassis.
Enable the NPCs by running the following command:
admin@PA-7050> request
chassis enable slot s3 target ha-pair
Check the status of the card in slot 3 on either chassis by running:
admin@PA-7050> show
chassis status slot s3
If the cards are funconing properly, the status will show an output similar to the following:
Slot...Component........Card Status.....Config Status
3 .....PA-7000-20G-NPC .Up..............Success
