PA-7000 Series Firewall Module and Interface Card Information
PA-7000 Series Firewall Switch Management Cards
(SMCs)
The PA-7000 Series Switch Management Card (SMC) provides: switch fabric management for the
chassis, system management access, stores PAN-OS, the firewall configuration, and management
logs. It also includes ports for high availability (HA) connectivity and LED indicators that provides
status of the chassis components.
There are two SMC models: the first-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC and PA-7080-SMC) and the
second-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC-B and PA-7080-SMC-B). The second-generation SMC-B
provides higher performance, a micro USB management port, redundant management ports, and
redundant system drives.
The PA-7050 SMCs and PA-7080 SMCs are not interchangeable. Although the cards
are similar, their back plane connectors and software are different. The hardware is also
keyed in such a way that you cannot install a PA-7050 SMC in a PA-7080 firewall and
vice versa.
A first-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC or PA-7080-SMC) must be paired with a first-
generation logging card (PA-7000-LPC). Similarly, a second-generation SMC (PA-7050-
SMC-B or PA-7080-SMC-B) must be paired with a second-generation logging card
(PA-7000-LFC-A).
When using PA-7000 Series firewalls in a High Availability (HA) pair, both firewalls must
have SMCs of the same generation installed.

PA-7000 Series Firewall SMC Component Descriptions
The following images show the first-generation PA-7050 SMCs and the PA-7080 SMC and the
tables describe each SMC component.
There are two versions of the first-generation PA-7050 Switch Management Card (SMC): version
1 and version 2.
Version 2 of the SMC is not the same as the second-generation SMC-B. See
Series Firewall SMC-B Component Descriptions
for details about the second-
generation SMC-B.
The PA-7050 firewall must be running PAN-OS 6.1 or a later release to recognize a version 2
SMC. Physically, there are two differences between the versions: the version 2 SMC uses the
