PA-7000 Series Firewall Module
and Interface Card Information
The PA-7000 Series firewalls are modular systems and requires a minimum set of front slot cards.
The required cards include the Switch Management Card (SMC), Log Processing Card (LPC) or Log
Forwarding Card (LFC), and at least one Network Processing Card (NPC). To expand port density
and throughput, you can install a total of six NPCs in the PA-7050 firewall and ten NPCs in the
PA-7080 firewall. For details on installing front slot cards, see
Series Firewall Front Slot
Although all front slot cards have protection to prevent damage if they are installed or removed
when the chassis is powered on, only the NPCs and DPCs are intended to be hot-swapped.
