PA-7080 Front Panel (AC)
The following image shows the front panel of the PA-7080
firewall (with AC power supplies installed) and the table describes
each front panel component.
Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Exhaust fan tray | Provides ventilation and cooling for the
chassis. The fan trays are interchangeable, so you can install them
in either fan tray slot. During normal operation, the Power
LED is green and the Fault LED is off. If an individual fan fails
on the fan tray, the Power LED turns off and the red Fault LED illuminates. For
information on replacing a fan tray, see Replace
a PA-7080 Fan Tray. |
2 | Upper cable guide | (Optional) Provides cable management
to route Ethernet cables and the console cable. This item ships with
the chassis but is not preinstalled. |
3 | Switch Management Card (SMC) | Provides management access to the chassis
using a serial console cable connected to the Console port or an RJ-45
cable connected to the management (MGT) port. The SMC also has high
availability (HA) ports and LED indicators that provide information
on various chassis components. The SMC also stores PAN-OS, the configuration,
and management logs (Alarm, Configuration,
and System).
One SMC is required to operate the chassis and on a PA-7080
firewall, it must be installed in slot 6. You cannot install an
SMC into any other slot.
The SMC-B is shipped with
four copper 1G transceivers for use in the MGT-A, MGT-B, HA1-A,
and HA1-B ports. You can use these or replace them with a transceiver
of your choice. There are two PA-7050 SMC models as
described in PA-7000
Series Firewall Switch Management Cards (SMCs). The
PAN-OS® software is preinstalled on the embedded solid-state drive
(SSD) on the SMC. |
4 | Log Processing Card (LPC) (shown) or Log Forwarding
Card (LFC) | There are two log card models:
You must have one LFC or LPC installed in slot 7 for chassis
operation. You cannot install an LFC or LPC into any other
slot.
For
more information, see PA-7000
Series Firewall Log Cards. |
5 |
Network Processing Card (NPC) or Data Processing Card (DPC)
|
Network Processing Card (NPC)
Provides network connectivity. On a PA-7080 firewall, you can install
up to ten NPCs (in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and/or slot
12). You must have at least one NPC installed before the firewall
can process network traffic.
For more information, see PA-7000 Series Firewall Network Processing Cards
(NPCs).
Data Processing Card (PAN-OS versions 10.0 and
later)
Improves the processing capacity of the chassis and other installed
cards. On a PA-7080 firewall, you can install up to nine DPCs (in
slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, or slot 12). Since the DPC does
not have any interfaces, at least one NPC is still required for the
chassis to process network activity.
For more information, see PA-7000 Series Firewall Data Processing Card (DPC). |
6 | Lower cable guide | (Optional) Provides cable management
to route fiber optic cables. This item ships with the chassis but is
not preinstalled. |
7 | Air intake fan tray | Provides ventilation and cooling for the
chassis. The fan tray is interchangeable, so you can install it
in either fan tray slot. During normal operation, the Power
LED is green and the Fault LED is off. If an individual fan fail
on the fan tray, the Power LED turns off and the red Fault LED illuminates. For
information on replacing a fan tray, see Replace
a PA-7080 Fan Tray. |
8 | Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ports | Provides a grounding point that you use
when removing or installing chassis components. Secure the provided
wrist strap end of the ESD strap around your wrist and plug the
other end into one of the ESD ports. |
9 | Air filter | Filters air entering the chassis. Periodically
inspect the filter to ensure it is clean. The filter is not designed
to be cleaned and it is recommended that you replace it every six
months (depending on the environment). |
10 | Air intake vent | Provides air circulation for chassis cooling.
Do not obstruct this vent. |
11 | AC power supplies | Provides power to the chassis using an AC
power source. For information on connecting power, see Connect
Power to a PA-7000 Series Firewall. |
