PA-400R Series Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Reference

Connect Ethernet Cables to the PA-400R Series Firewall

1. Unscrew the four screws on the bottom panel of the firewall.

   • PA-410R and PA-410R-5G—Use a flathead screwdriver.

     
2. On the removed panel, unscrew the stopping plug that lines up with the Ethernet port you are connecting to.

   • PA-410R and PA-410R-5G—Each stopping plug corresponds to one Ethernet port.

     
3. Unpack the cable glands.

   • PA-410R and PA-410R-5G—You must have either purchased PAN-PA-RGD-GLND1 or acquired other standard M12 cable glands. There are four necessary items — an end cap, panel connector, seal, and grommet.

     
4. Install the seal onto the shorter end of the panel connector. Make sure to push the seal until it is flush against the nut. Screw the shorter end of the panel connector into the hole that corresponds to the port being connected. Make sure that the connector is secure by torquing to 1.5 Nm.

5. Thread the cable through the end cap. This is used to secure the cable gland once the panel is reattached at the end of the procedure. Feed the cable through the gray grommet. Move the cable through the panel connector and gently push the end into the port until you hear a click.

6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for any additional cables.
7. Follow the procedure to Connect DC Power to a PA-400R Series Firewall before you continue to the next step.
8. Once all cables are connected, make sure that any unused ports have a stopping plug in the corresponding panel slot.

   • PA-410R and PA-410R-5G—Ensure that all Ethernet and power cables are connected before continuing to the next step.
9. Align the panel with the four screw holes on the firewall. Using the appropriate screwdriver, screw the panel back into its original place.
