Service the PA-3200 Series Firewall Interpret the PA-3200 Series Status LEDs The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on a PA-3200 Series firewall. Descripon Front Panel LEDs • Green—The firewall is powered on. PWR (Power) • Off—The firewall is not powered on or an error occurred with the internal power system (for example, power is not within tolerance levels).
Replace a PA-3200 Series Fan Tray The PA-3200 Series firewalls have one fan tray with three fans. If one fan fails, the LED on the fan tray turns red and the firewall generates a system log. When this occurs, immediately replace the fan tray to avoid service interrupon.
Service the PA-3200 Series Firewall Replace a PA-3200 Series Power Supply PA-3200 Series firewalls have either two AC or two DC power supplies (the second power supply is for redundancy). If one power supply fails, you can replace it without service interrupon as described in the following procedures.
PWR LED and the power supply LED (PWR 1 or PWR 2) on the front of the firewall turns green. Replace a PA-3200 Series DC Power Supply The following procedure describes how to replace a DC power supply.
