Before You Begin
Use this document to install and begin setting up your Palo Alto Networks PA-415 or PA-445 Next-Generation firewall. Refer
to the PA-400 Series Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Reference at
information, specifications, and more detailed procedures for installing the firewall.
◼
Verify that the installation site has adequate air circulation and AC power.
◼
Have a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver available.
◼
Unpack the equipment and verify that you received the following items:
Qty Description
1 PA-415 or PA-445 next-generation firewall.
1 Power adapter.
1 Console cable.
1 Power Cord, AC, North America, 10A/125V, 75C, 1.8M, St., SVT, NEMA-5-15P (YP-12) to IEC-C13 (YC-12).
1 Shielded RJ-45 CAT6 Ethernet cable for management (MGT) port access.
1 PAN-PA-400-POE-RACKTRAY.
7 Wood screws (.75") to mount the firewall and power adapter bracket to wood studs or plywood.
7 Drywall anchors and screws (1.25") to mount the firewall and power adapter bracket to a drywall or similar material that cannot

Install the Firewall
There are three ways to install the PA-415 and PA-445 firewalls:
◼
On a flat surface
◼
On a wall
◼
In a 19" equipment rack
Install the Firewall on a Flat Surface
The PA-415 and PA-445 firewalls ship with rubber "feet" attached to the bottom of the device. The PA-415 and PA-445 can be
set horizontally upon a flat surface (Figure 1 — PA-415 pictured).

Install the Firewall on a Wall
1 Temporarily secure the Wall Mount Template (on this sheet) to the wall where you intend to mount the
firewall and use it to mark the location for each of the four wall-mount screws (Figure 2). Use a pointed
object to punch through the paper and visibly mark the wall; then remove the template and verify
measurements.
Ensure there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring) behind the wall where you intend to install the
firewall.
2
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the appropriate screws into each of the four marked locations:
◼ Drywall—First press a drywall anchor slightly into the center of a template mark. Then use your
screwdriver to apply pressure while turning the anchor clockwise until the surface of the anchor is
flush with the wall. After the drywall anchor is secure, install a 1.25" anchor screw into the anchor until
the bottom of the screw head protrudes ¼" from the wall. Repeat this step for the other three screw
locations. If any screw location is located over wood, use a .75" wood screw instead of a drywall anchor
and screw.
◼
Plywood wall—Use your screwdriver to insert a .75" wood screw into the center of each template mark
that is located over wood until the bottom of the screw heads protrude ¼" from the wall.
3
Align the four holes on the bottom of the firewall with the four screws on the wall and hang the firewall on
the screws.
4
Install the power adapter in the power adapter wall mount bracket by first placing the power supply into the
bracket. Next, loop the two Velcro straps through the side openings on the wall mount and over the power
adaptor. Lastly, loop the Velcro strap back over the top of the power adaptor to secure it into place (Figures
3 and 4).
5 Mount the power adapter wall-mount bracket next to the firewall using wood or drywall screws as
appropriate.
