Replace the Air Intake Filters on a PA-5200 Series
Firewall
The air intake filters are a crical part of the firewall cooling system. These filters ensures that air
entering the firewall does not contain debris. We recommend that you replace both filters (top and
boom) every six months or less, depending on the environment where the firewall is located, to
prevent a scenario where there is not enough air passing through the filters to keep the firewall
from overheang.
The firewall does not generate a system log indicang that an air filter has been removed
or that it needs to be replaced. Therefore, in addion to replacing them every six months
(or as needed), you need to schedule regular inspecons and ensure that the filters do not
clog sooner than when they are due to be replaced. Do not aempt to clean and reuse a
filter.
You can purchase replacement air filters and air filter covers from Palo Alto Networks or an
authorized reseller. The following procedure can be performed with the firewall powered on but
do not leave the firewall without the filters installed for longer than it takes to replace the filters.
STEP 1 | Turn the two air filter cover thumb screws counter-clockwise and remove the filter cover and
filter (top filter shown).
STEP 2 |
Li each side of the filter upward to loosen it from the filter cover and then slide the filter
out of the filter cover.
