After you
Connect Power to the PA-7500 Series Firewall, connect your management computer to the management
port (MGT) on the firewall Management Processing Card (MPC) so you can begin the initial
configuration. You can optionally connect your management computer to the console port,
also on the MPC, which provides a serial connection to the firewall and enables you to
view the bootup messages and manage the firewall using the command line interface (CLI).
