Install the PA-400 Series Firewall on a Wall

Mark the locations on the wall that line up with the wall mount holes on the bottom of the firewall.
(
PA-440, PA-450, and PA-460
) Mark three wall mount hole locations.
(
PA-410, PA-415,
PA-415-5G, PA-455,
and PA-445
) Mark four wall mount hole locations.
To ensure the wall mount screws line up with the firewall mount holes, use the PA-400 Series Quick Start Guide, the PA-410 Firewall Quick Start Guide, or the PA-415 and PA-445 Firewall Quick Start Guide that ship with the firewall as a template. If you do not have a copy of the Quick Start Guide, download and print it. When printing, select landscape and actual size in the print options to ensure the screw hole markers line up correctly.
Ensure there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring) behind the wall where you intend to install the firewall.
Use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to install the appropriate screws into each of the three or four marked locations:
Drywall
—Press a drywall anchor slightly into the center of a template mark. Then use your screwdriver to apply pressure while turning the anchor clockwise until the surface of the anchor is flush with the wall. After the drywall anchor is secure, install a 1.25” anchor screw into the anchor until the bottom of the screw head protrudes 1/4” (.6cm) from the wall. Repeat this step for the other screw locations unless either is located over wood, in which case, use a .75” wood screw instead of a drywall anchor and screw.
Plywood wall
—Use your screwdriver to insert a .75” wood screw into the center of each template mark that is located over wood until the bottom of the screw heads protrude 1/4” (.6cm) from the wall.
(
PA-455 only
) Do not install the screws in the wall. Instead, proceed to Step 3.
Align the holes on the bottom of the firewall with the screws on the wall and hang the firewall on the screws. Make sure the firewall is securely connected to each of the screws before you let go.
(
PA-455 only
) Instead of mounting the firewall directly onto the wall, first attach the firewall to the wall mount using three #6-32 screws. Then attach the wall mount to the wall using four screws that are appropriate for your wall.

Install the power adapter in the power adapter wall-mount bracket.
(
PA-440, PA-450, and PA-460
) Install the power adapter in the power adapter wall-mount bracket using the Velcro straps and cable tie. Make sure to align the cable tie with the notches in the bracket to prevent the power cord from falling out. Next, loop the two Velcro straps through the side openings on the wall mount and over the power adapter. Lastly, loop the Velcro straps back over the top of the power adapter to secure it into place.
Connect the second power adapter through a different circuit breaker to provide power redundancy and allow for electrical circuit maintenance.
