View Power Statistics of the PA-7500 Series Firewalls

Use this reference to view and interpret the power statistics of the PA-7500 Series Firewalls.
Use the following information to learn how to view active power statistics on a PA-7500 Series firewall to help you ensure power redundancy and to plan for growth.
The power numbers provided by the
show chassis power
command represent power calculated by the firewall power management software and does not represent the exact measured power. The difference allows margin for thermal conditions and component aging factors. This CLI output helps you know how much power is required to prevent the appliance from overloading under extreme conditions.
  1. Using a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, launch an SSH session to the firewall.
  2. Run the following command:
    admin@PA-7500>
    show chassis power
  3. View the output for information on the status of each component and the current power rating.
For example, the following table shows the CLI output (in table format) from a PA-7500. The output shows each front slot (1 to 9), each back slot (10 to 11), the status of each component, and the rated power consumption for each component.
