The following procedure describes how to connect
DC power to a PA-5200 Series firewall with DC power supplies.
To avoid injury to yourself or damage to
your Palo Alto Networks® hardware or the data that resides on the
hardware, read the
Product Safety Warnings.
Remove the two nuts and star washers from the
ground studs on the back of the firewall and then remove the two-hole
ground lug.
Crimp a 6AWG ground cable (not included) to the two-hole
6AWG ground lug and then attach the ground lug to the ground studs
on the firewall. Replace the star washers and nuts and torque to
25 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the cable to earth ground.
Power off the DC power source that you will connect to
the firewall.
Attach the DC power cables (not included) from the DC
power source to the DC power supplies on the back of the firewall.
Remove the plastic DC power input cover
from each of the two DC power supplies and then remove the positive
and negative terminal screws.
Crimp ring lugs to the ends of the DC cables. These
lugs are used to connect the DC cables to the DC inputs on the firewall.
Use the DC terminal screws to connect a positive (red)
DC power cable to the positive terminal on the first DC power supply
and then connect a negative (black) DC power cable to the negative
terminal. Repeat this step for the second DC power supply using
separate positive and negative cables.
Replace the plastic covers over each DC power input.
Connect the two positive and two negative DC power
cables to your power source, ensuring that you observe the correct
polarity (positive to positive and negative to negative).
After all DC power cables are securely connected, power
on the DC power source.
