PA-400R Series Top and Bottom Panels

Learn about the PA-400R Series firewall top and bottom panel components.
View the top and bottom panel components of your PA-400R Series firewall.
The PA-410R and PA-410R-5G firewalls feature serviceable components on the top and bottom panels.
The top panels of the PA-410R and PA-410R-5G are identical. The following image shows the top panel of the PA-410R and the table describes each back panel component.
ItemComponentDescription
1
SIM slot
After removing the cover, install up to two nano SIM cards into this slot to enable multiple mobile network connectivity.
The nano SIM cards installed must be industrial grade and rated to 105C.
2
DIN rail mounting clip
The bottom panels of the PA-410R and PA-410R-5G are identical except that the PA-410R-5G features antennas. The following image shows the bottom panel of the PA-410R after the cover and caps have been removed and the table describes each bottom panel component.
ItemComponentDescription
1
DC Power Inputs
The firewall operates on 12-48VDC power. Use the DC power inputs to connect power to the firewall. A second, optional power supply can be used for redundancy.
2
RJ-45 Ports
Four RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic.
You can set the link speed and duplex mode or choose auto-negotiate.
Ports 1 and 2 are fail-open ports. They can be configured to provide a pass-through connection despite power or operating system failure.
3
Management port
Use this Ethernet 1Gbps port to access the management web interface and perform administrative tasks. The firewall also uses this port for management services, such as retrieving licenses and updating threat and application signatures.
4
SFP Ports
Two SFP ports for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds.
5
Breather valve
A breather valve that prevents the buildup of condensation in the sealed enclosure.
The PA-455R-5G firewall features serviceable components on the top and bottom panels.
The following image shows the top panel of the PA-455R-5G and the table describes each top panel component.
ItemComponentDescription
1
Antenna connectors
Four connectors to install 4x4 MIMO antennas that provide 5G connectivity to the device. The firewall does not ship with antennas.
2
Lifting eyebolt
An eyebolt that is used for lifting or carrying the firewall during installation.
The eyebolt is not intended to be used as a mount or attachment to a fixed structure.
The following image shows the bottom panel of the PA-455R-5G after the cover and caps have been removed. The table describes each bottom panel component.
ItemComponentDescription
1
LED status indicators
Seven LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400R Series Firewall).
2
SIM slots
Once the cover is removed, there are two slots in which you can install 4FF SIM cards to enable mobile network connectivity. The SIMs support 1.8v.
3
USB slot
USB port for debugging and administration only. Use this port to bootstrap the firewall.
Bootstrapping enables you to provision the firewall with a specific PAN-OS configuration and then license it and make it operational on your network.
4
CONSOLE port
(RJ-45)
Use this port to connect a management computer to the firewall using a RJ-45 to USB cable and terminal emulation software.
The console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line interface (CLI).
Use the following settings to configure your terminal emulation software to connect to the console port:
  • Data rate: 9600
  • Data bits: 8
  • Parity: none
  • Stop bits: 1
  • Flow control: None
5
CONSOLE port
(Micro USB)
Use this port to connect a management computer to the firewall using a standard Type-A USB-to-micro USB cable (not included with the firewall).
The console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line interface (CLI).
Refer to Micro USB Console Port for more information and to download the Windows driver or to learn how to connect from a Mac or Linux computer.
6
Management port
Use this Ethernet 1Gbps port to access the management web interface and perform administrative tasks. The firewall also uses this port for management services, such as retrieving licenses and updating threat and application signatures.
7
SFP/RJ-45 combo ports
Two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds.
8
RJ-45 ports
Six RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic.
You can set the link speed and duplex mode or choose auto-negotiate.
Ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 are Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. They can be configured to transfer power to a connected device.
9
AC power inputs
Use the AC power inputs to connect power to the firewall. Both power inputs must be connected to a power source for the firewall to operate.
(Not pictured) Ground points are located on the side of the device.
10
Breather valve
A breather valve that prevents the buildup of pressure and condensation in the sealed enclosure.
