Interpret the PA-5400 Series LEDs

Learn how to interpret the status LEDs on a PA-5400 Series firewall.

The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on a PA-5410, PA-5420, PA-5430, PA-5440

, and PA-5445

firewall.

The PA-5450 LEDs are located on the interface cards. For more information, see PA-5400 Series Firewall Module and Interface Card Information.

LED	Description
Front Panel LEDs
	Service Blue —The firewall is instructed by the CLI or Web Interface to enable this LED. Off —The LED has not been enabled.
	Power Green —The firewall is powered on. Off —The firewall is not powered on.
	Status Green —The firewall is operating normally. Yellow —The firewall is booting.
	High Availability Green —The firewall is the active peer in an active/passive configuration. Yellow —The firewall is the passive peer in an active/passive configuration. Off —High availability (HA) is not operational on this firewall. In an active/active configuration, the HA LED only indicates HA status for the local firewall and has two possible states (green or off); it does not indicate HA connectivity of the peer. Green indicates that the firewall is either active-primary or active-secondary and off indicates that the firewall is in any other state (For example, non-functional or suspended).
	Temperature Green —The firewall temperature is normal. Yellow —The firewall temperature is outside tolerance levels. See the PA-5400 Series Firewall Environmental Specifications for the operating temperature range.
	Alarm Red —A hardware failure, such as a power supply failure, a firewall failure that caused an HA failover, a drive failure, or the hardware overheated and exceeded the high temperature threshold. Off —The firewall is operating normally.
	Fans Green —All fans are operating normally. Red —A fan failed. If one of the three fans fail, the firewall will continue to operate but if two fans fail, the firewall will shut down.
	Power Supplies 1 and 2 When facing the back of the firewall, power supply 1 (PWR 1) is on the left and power supply 2 (PWR 2) is on the right. Green —The power supply is functioning normally. Red —The power supply is present but is not working. Off —The power supply is not installed
Ethernet Port LEDs
RJ-45	These ports have one green LED each. Solid Green —The firewall network link is up. Blinking Green —The firewall is processing network activity.
SFP+, HA1-A and HA-1B, and Management port	These ports have two LEDs each. The color of the LED differs based on the port speed. 1G—Yellow 10G—Green
SFP28 and QSFP28	The SFP28 ports have two LEDs each. The QSFP28 ports have one or four corresponding LEDs each depending on if the ports are broken out or not. The color of the LED differs based on the port speed. 1G—Yellow 10G—Green 25G—Green & Blue 40G—Yellow 100G—Blue Solid Color —The firewall network link is up. Blinking Color —The firewall is processing network activity.
Back Panel LEDs
Power supply LEDs In AC power supplies, the input LED indicates the status of the AC input power and the output LED indicates the DC output that powers the firewall. In DC power supplies, the input and output are both DC.	The AC and DC power supplies have a FAIL and an OK LED. The LED behavior varies based on which power supply model you have. Power Supply (with black handle) FAIL Off—The power supply is operating normally. Solid Yellow—The power supply failed. This can also indicate a fan failure or overheating condition. Blinking Yellow—The power supply is outside of tolerance levels. OK Solid Green—The power supply is operating normally. Blinking Green—The power input is present but the power supply is disabled by the system. Off—No power input or the power supply failed. Power Supply (with red handle) FAIL (Bottom/DC LED) Solid Green—The power supply is operating normally. Solid Yellow—The power supply failed. This can also indicate a fan failure or overheating condition. Blinking Yellow & Green (Alternating at 2:1 ratio)—The power supply is at high temperature. OK (Top/AC LED) Solid Green—The power supply is operating normally. Blinking Yellow—The power input is present but the power supply is disabled by the system. Off—No power input or the power supply failed.
Fan Assembly LED	Green —The fan trays and all fans are operating normally. Red —A fan in the fan tray failed (see Replace a PA-5400 Series Firewall Fan Assembly).
