Power On the Firewall

The PA-820 firewall has one power supply. The PA-850 firewall has two power supplies for power redundancy.

Remove the nut and star washer from the ground stud shown in Figure 7 and attach a 14-AWG ground cable (not included) to the ground stud. 

Secure the ground cable to the stud using the star washer and nut and torque to 25 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the cable to earth ground.

Connect the AC power cord to the power input on the back of the firewall, as shown in Figure 8. On a PA-850 firewall, secure the cord to the 
power supply using the Velcro strap as in Figure 9.

Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source. After power is connected, the firewall powers on as indicated by the PWR LED 
on the front of the firewall. On a PA-850 firewall, the LED on the power supply also shows green.

) To provide power redundancy, connect a power cord to the second power supply, secure the cord using the Velcro 

strap, and connect the other end of the cord to an AC power source.

Connect with ZTP Firewall 

To connect your PA-800 Series firewall using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), you must have the PAN-PA-820-ZTP or PAN-
PA-850-ZTP.

Unbox the firewall.

Connect the ZTP port (Ethernet port 1) on the firewall to the broadband connection. See Figure 11. 
 
 
 
 
 

Power on the firewall.

Follow the instructions provided by your Panorama administrator to register your ZTP firewall. You will have to enter the serial number 
(12-digit number identified as S/N) and claim key (8-digit number). These numbers are on stickers attached to the back of the device. See 
Figure 12 for the location of the claim key. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Contact your Panorama administrator if you require further assistance.

 
Do not power on the firewall until Step 2 is complete.
