Installing the Hardware
This chapter describes the steps needed to install the PA-7050 firewall in a standard 19” 2-post or 4-post
equipment rack. It is important that the steps are followed in order, which includes: installing the
chassis in an equipment rack, installing the three mandatory cards required for the chassis to operate
(after the chassis is racked), and then connecting power to the chassis. Please read “Before You Begin”
on page 23.

Tamper Proof Statement
To ensure that products purchased from Palo Alto Networks have not been tampered with
during shipping, verify the following upon receipt of each product:
•
The tracking number provided to you electronically when ordering the product matches
the tracking number that is physically labelled on the box or crate.
•
The integrity of the tamper-proof tape used to seal the box or crate has not been
compromised.
•
The warranty seals on the device itself do not show evidence of tampering. Being a
modular system, please note that the PA-7050 does not have a warranty seal.
Before You Begin
•
Before installing the hardware, read the information in “Cautions and Warnings” on page 43.
•
It is recommended that two people perform the rack installation of the PA-7050 using a mechanical
equipment lift.
•
Have a Phillips-head screwdriver available. A power screwdriver is recommended if you will be
moving the mounting brackets for a 4-post rack installation.
