Learn how to connect AC power to a PA-5200 Series firewall.
The following procedure describes how to connect AC power to a PA-5200 Series firewall with AC power supplies.
To avoid injury to yourself or damage to your Palo Alto Networks® hardware or the data that resides on the hardware, read the Product Safety Warnings.
  1. Remove the two nuts and star washers from the ground studs on the back of the firewall and then remove the two-hole ground lug.
  2. Crimp a 6AWG ground cable (not included) to the two-hole 6AWG ground lug and then attach the ground lug to the ground studs on the firewall. Replace the star washers and nuts and torque to 25 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the cable to earth ground.
  3. Connect the AC power cord to power input 1 (PWR 1) and connect a second power cord to power input 2 (PWR 2).
  4. Secure the power cords to the power supplies using the Velcro straps.
  5. Connect the other end of the power cords to an AC power source. After the first power supply is connected, the firewall powers on and the power LED on the power supply and the PWR LED on the front of the firewall turns green.
    Connect the second power cord through a different circuit breaker to provide power redundancy and to allow for electrical circuit maintenance.
