• “Connecting Power” on page 19 Before You Begin • It is recommended that two people be available to mount the PA-5000 Series in a 19-inch rack. • Have a Phillips head screwdriver available. • Verify that the intended location has adequate air circulation and meets the temperature requirements.
Do not look directly at exposed fiber optical transmitters or cables. Figure 4 illustrates how rack mounting brackets are attached to the PA-5000 Series. You can attach the brackets using the holes at the front or the midpoint of the unit.
Align the mounting holes on the side of the device with holes in the rack rail. Make sure that rack rail holes are selected so that the PA-5000 Series is level. Insert mounting screws into the aligned holes. Tighten with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Connecting Power Wind the power wires around the screws and tighten to secure. The -48VDC connection is on the left and the 0VDC connection is on the right, as labeled when facing the power supply. Turn on the electric current to the DC feed. Figure 8.
Replacing a Power Supply The PA-5000 Series firewall has two hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies. Both power supplies should be connected during normal operations. If the system detects a loss of power, either due to loss...
Replacing an AC Power Supply To replace the AC PWR1 or PWR2 power supply: While the PA-5000 Series is running, unplug the power cord from the power supply that you need to replace. Push the lever to the right and use the handle to slide the power supply out of the device, as shown in Figure 9.
To replace the DC PWR1 or PWR2 power supply: While the PA-5000 Series is running, loosen the screws that secure the power wires and remove the wires from the power supply that you need to replace, as shown in Figure 10.
Replacing a Hard Disk or Solid State Drive Replacing a Hard Disk or Solid State Drive The PA-5000 Series firewall has a bay that contains two 2.5-inch Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives or solid state drives (SSD). You must power down the firewall to replace either of the drives.
Replacing a Hard Disk or Solid State Drive Gently pull the lever open to partially eject the drive, and then slide the drive out from the enclosure. Figure 14. Removing a Drive Slide the replacement drive in, label side up, gently pushing it in until the lever begins to close. Gently close the lever until it clicks into place.
Replacing the Fan Tray and Air Filter • Adding blank but different drive In this scenario, the new drive is blank but has a different part number. This is the expected case when migrating from standard to SSD drives. The system will start to boot, it will determine that the drives are different, and then it will boot into maintenance mode with the reason “Drive model mismatch.”...

Replacing the Fan Tray and Air Filter Loosen the thumbnail screws for the fan tray bay using a flat or Phillips head screw driver, if necessary. Figure 16. Loosening the Thumbnail Screws for the Fan Tray and Air Filter Remove the metal plate that covers the fan tray. Hold the fan tray handle and slide the tray out.
Replace the metal plate and secure the thumb screws, using a flat or Phillips head screw driver. Interpreting the Device LEDs Figure 19 shows the LED dashboard on the front panel of the PA-5000 Series, and Table 4 describes the LED functions and states.
