Install a PA-5400 Series Firewall Management Processor Card (MPC)

Install the mandatory Management Processor Card (MPC) to provide management, logging, and high availability functions to the PA-5400 Series firewall.
  1. Attach the provided ESD strap to your wrist and plug the other end in to the ESD port location on the front of the appliance. See PA-5450 Front Panel for the location of the ESD port.
  2. Remove the MPC from the antistatic bag. Push the top and bottom ejector tabs towards each other to allow the ejector levers to rotate into an open position.
  3. Rotate the card and align it with the front of the appliance so that the Palo Alto Networks logo is readable at the top of the card. Gently push the MPC into slot 7 until the card reaches the end of the slot.
  4. Push on both ejector handles until they lock the card into place.
