PA-7000 Series Firewall SMC-B Requirements

Learn about the PA-7000 Series firewall SMC-B system and hardware requirements.
The following information describes the system and hardware requirements for the second-generation Switch Management Card (SMC-B).
If you install the Switch Management Card (SMC-B), Log Forwarding Card (LFC), or PA-7000 100G NPC in a PA-7050 firewall, you must install the second-generation fan trays (PA-7050-FANTRAY-L-A and PA-7050-FANTRAY-R-A). If you install these cards in a PA-7080 firewall, you must also install the electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. You do not have to install these components if the last five digits of the firewall serial number is 10,000 or greater because the PA-7050 will have the second-generation fan trays installed and the PA-7080 will have a built-in EMI filter.
The SMC-B is not compatible with the PA-7000 Log Processing Card (LPC) or any of the PA-7000 20G Network Processing Cards (NPCs). You must use a 100G NPC with the SMC-B.
