PA-7000 Series Firewall Installation
Installing a new NPC also causes any virtual routers to restart.
STEP 1 |
Put the provided ESD wrist strap on your wrist ensuring that the metal contact is touching
your skin. Then attach (snap) one end of the ground cable to the wrist strap and remove the
alligator clip from the banana clip on the other end of the ESD grounding cable. Plug the
banana clip end into one of the ESD ports located on the front of the chassis before handling
ESD sensitive hardware. For details on the ESD port location, see
STEP 2 |
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the blank slot covers for each slot in which you
will install an NPC.
STEP 3 |
Remove the first NPC from the antistatic bag and partially slide it into any of the available
NPC slots, ensuring that the handles are in the open position. When the card is about 1/4-
inch from being fully inserted, adjust the levers to align with the chassis and then close the
levers to seat the card in place.
STEP 4 |
Install the second NPC (of the same model) in the other chassis in the HA pair in the same
slot you installed the NPC in the first chassis. For example, if you installed the first NPC in
slot 3 of the first chassis, install the second NPC in slot 3 of the second chassis.
After you install the firewall in the rack and power it on as described in
, continue the following steps to bring up the NPCs in the HA pair.
Verify the PA-7000 Series Firewall NPC Configuration
for information on how to
check the status of the NPCs.
Run the following command to power-on both NPCs in the HA pair:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis power-on slot <slot-number> target ha-pair
For example, if you installed the NPCs in slot 3 of each chassis, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis power-on slot s3 target ha-pair
This will simultaneously power-on both cards in each chassis.
Enable the NPCs by running the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis enable slot s3 target ha-pair
Check the status of the card in slot 3 on either chassis by running:
admin@PA-7050>
