Learn about the PA-5200 firewall back-panel components.
The following image shows the back panel
of PA-5200 Series firewalls and the table describes each back-panel
component. The only difference between PA-5200 Series firewall back
panels is the power supply type installed—they each can have two
AC or two DC power supplies. The image shows a PA-5220 firewall
with AC power supplies. To view an image of the DC power supplies,
see Connect DC Power to a PA-5200 Series Firewall.
