Install the PA-500 Series Firewall on a Wall

1. Mark the locations on the wall that line up with the wall mount holes on the bottom of the firewall.

   For the PA-505, mark four wall mount hole locations.

   For the PA-510, mark three wall mount hole locations.

   Ensure there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring) behind the wall where you intend to install the firewall.
2. 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 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 mark that is located over wood until the bottom of the screw heads protrude 1/4” (.6cm) from the wall.
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.

4. Install the power adapter in the power adapter wall-mount bracket.

   PA-505 — 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.

   PA-510 — 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.
5. After you secure the power adapter to the bracket, mount the bracket next to the firewall using wood or drywall screws as appropriate.
