PA-7000 Series Firewall Hardware Reference
Description
Log Processing Card (LPC) that processes all logs and then
stores the logs on the four Advanced Mezzanine Cards
(AMCs) that contain one disk drive each.
Four Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) and drives used
for log storage. The AMC is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
card that houses a disk drive and connects the drive to
the LPC.
Each AMC contains one 1TB or 2TB 2.5" SATA disk
drive. The first two drives on the left (A1 and A2) are in
a RAID 1 pair and the next two drives on the right (B1
and B2) are also configured in a RAID 1 pair. If the AMCs
contain 1TB drives the total log storage capacity is 2TBs;
if the AMCs contain 2TB drives the total capacity is 4TBs.
You can upgrade the 1TB drives to 2TB drives as
described in Increase Log Storage Capacity on a PA-7000
Series Firewall. To learn how to replace a failed drive, see

Handle used to remove the AMC and disk drive from
the LPC card. Pull the handle toward you to unlock and
remove the AMC. After installing an AMC into the LPC,
push the handle in to lock the AMC to the LPC.
Three LEDs that indicate drive activity, drive failure, and
drive power. Top left is activity, bottom left is fault, and
top right is power.
One screw on each side of the LPC that you use to secure
the LPC to the chassis.
Release levers and screws that you use to install and
remove the LPC card.
The LPC uses a double-lever on each side of the card.
After loosening the thumb screws, you must pull the
inner lever toward you to unlock the outer lever from
the chassis and then pull the outer lever toward you to
release the card from the chassis.
When installing the card, push the outer lever in to lock
the inner lever.
The left and right inner levers have micro-
switches that power off the card when the
levers are pulled to release the outer levers.
