Service the PA-7000 Series Firewall Hardware
Replace a PA-7080 DC PEM
The DC Power Entry Module (PEM) is located on the back of the chassis and connects the power
source to the power supplies located on the front of the chassis, which then distributes power to
all chassis components.
The PEMs are not hot swappable. You must power off the chassis, turn off the DC power
feed, and remove the DC power cables from the failed PEM before proceeding. The PEMs
on the AC model are not field serviceable.
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 |
Power off the chassis and disconnect the power source to the chassis.
STEP 3 |
Remove the stud nuts and star washers from the DC studs that secure the DC cables to the
PEM and then remove the cables.
