LED
Description
Left
The LED shows green if there is a network link.
Right
Blinks green or stays green if there is network activity.
The following table describes functions and states of the QSFP28 port LEDs. The LEDs are tri-

as there is network activity.
As of PAN-OS 9.0, only the first LED on a port illuminates. For example, if port 25 is
connected at 100Gbps, LED 9 illuminates blue.

PA-7000 100G NPC Requirements
The following information describes the system and hardware requirements for the PA-7000
100G Network Processing Card (NPC).
If you install the Switch Management Card (SMC-B), Log Forwarding Card (LFC), or
PA-7000 100G NPC in a PA-7050 firewall, you must install the second-generation fan
trays (PA-7050-FANTRAY-L-A and PA-7050-FANTRAY-R-A). If you install these cards
in a PA-7080 firewall, you must install the electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. You
do not have to install these components if the last five digits of the firewall serial number
is 10,000 or greater because the PA-7050 will have the second-generation fan trays
installed and the PA-7080 will have a built-in EMI filter.
• PAN-OS 9.0 or later.
• (
PA-7050 only
) Install the second-generation fan tray (PA-7050-FANTRAY-L-A and PA-7050-
FANTRAY-R-A) to increase cooling capacity. The
topic shows
how to remove and install a fan tray.
