PA-5200 Back Panel
Learn about the PA-5200 firewall back-panel components.
The following image shows the back panel
of PA-5200 Series firewalls and the table describes each back-panel
component. The only difference between PA-5200 Series firewall back
panels is the power supply type installed—they each can have two
AC or two DC power supplies. The image shows a PA-5220 firewall
with AC power supplies. To view an image of the DC power supplies,
see Connect DC Power to a PA-5200 Series Firewall.

1 | SYS 1 and SYS 2 drives | Two hot-swappable 240GB solid-state drives
(SSDs) in a RAID-1 pair (240GBs total). The drives are used to store
the PAN-OS system files and system logs. |
2 | LOG 1 and LOG 2 drives | Drives used for storing network traffic logs. Depending on the drives installed, they are one of
the following:
|
3 | Exhaust fans trays | Two fan trays that provide ventilation and
cooling for the firewall. Each fan tray contains four fans and a
status LED. While facing the back of the firewall, fan tray
1 is on the left and fan tray 2 is on the right. Do not use the fan tray handles to lift
or move the firewall. |
4 | PWR 1 and PWR2 | Use the power supply inputs (either AC or
DC) to connect power to the firewall. While facing the back
of the firewall, PWR 1 is on the left and PWR 2 is on the right. |
5 | Ground stud | Use the two-post ground stud to connect
the firewall to earth ground. The firewall ships with a 6AWG two-hole
ground lug attached to the ground studs, but does not include a
ground cable. |
