Prepare to Connect Power to a PA-400R Series Firewall
Power the PA-410R
, PA-410R-5G, PA-450R-5G,
and PA-450R firewalls with DC power.
Due to the various cable lengths required for a given installation site, DC power
and ground cables are not included with the firewall.
Required Hardware
AWG cable (minimum 8 AWG)
—Use this cable for the ground cable and DC
power cables.
Dual screw ground lug
—Use this lug to connect a ground cable to the
screw-on ground points on the firewall.
Cable/wire strippers
—Use this tool to strip the cable shielding
off the ends of the DC power and ground cables.
Screwdrivers
—Use these tools to attach the ground cable and DC
power cables: use a Phillips-head screwdriver for the screw-on ground
point and a small flat-head screwdriver to secure cables to the DC
terminal block inputs.
Prepare for the Installation
Measure and cut the DC power cables and ground cable. Ensure that the DC power
cables reach from the firewall to your DC power source and that the ground cable
reaches from the firewall to your ground location.
You will need one ground cable and two DC cables (one for the positive
connection and one for the negative connection). To provide power
redundancy for the firewall, prepare two additional DC power cables to
connect the second set of DC power inputs.
