Before You Begin

Refer to the PA-400 Series Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Reference at
for safety 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-400 Series next-generation firewall. (PA-440, PA-450, or PA-460)
1 Power adapter.

Install the Firewall
There are three ways to install the PA-400 Series firewall:
◼
On a flat surface
◼
On a wall
◼
In a 19" equipment rack
Install the Firewall on a Flat Surface
The PA-400 Series firewalls ship with rubber "feet" attached to each corner of the device. The PA-440, PA-450, and PA-460 can
be set both horizontally and vertically upon a flat surface. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
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 three wall-mount screws (Figure 3). Use a pointed object to punch through the paper and visibly mark the wall; then remove the
template and verify measurements.
To make use of the Wall Mount Template, you can print this document out on 17" x 11" paper or use the measurements provided in the Wall
Mount Template.
Ensure that there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring) behind the wall where you intend to install the firewall.

Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to install the appropriate screws into each of the three 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 two 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 three holes on the bottom of the firewall with the three screws on the wall and hang the firewall on the screws (Figure 3).
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 straps back over the top of
the power adaptor to secure it into place. (Figures 4 and 5)
5
Mount the power adapter wall-mount bracket next to the firewall (Figure 5) using wood or drywall screws as appropriate. You can install an
optional second power adapter next to the first power adapter for power redundancy.
