Before You Begin
Upgrade/Downgrade Consideraons for Firewalls and
Appliances
The following table lists hardware features that have upgrade or downgrade impact. Make sure
you understand all upgrade/downgrade consideraons before you upgrade or downgrade from
the specified version of PAN-OS.
Feature Release Upgrade Consideraons Downgrade
Consideraons
PA-7000 Log
Forwarding Card (LFC)
10.0 If you are using an LFC
with a PA-7000 Series
Firewall, when you
upgrade to PAN-OS
10.0, you must configure
the management plane
or dataplane interface
for the service route
because the LFC ports
do not support the
requirements for the
service route. We
recommend using the
dataplane interface for
the Data Services service
route.

Upgrading a PA-7000
Series Firewall with a

PAN-OS 8.0
and later
Before upgrading
the firewall, run the
following CLI command
to check the flash drive’s
status: debug system
disk-smart-info
disk-1.
If the value for
aribute ID #232,
Available_Reservd_Space
0x0000, is greater than
20, then proceed with
the upgrade. If the value
is less than 20, then
contact support for
assistance.
Before downgrading
the firewall, run the
following CLI command
to check the flash drive’s
status: debug system
disk-smart-info
disk-1.
If the value for
aribute ID #232,
Available_Reservd_Space
0x0000, is greater than
20, then proceed with
the downgrade. If the
value is less than 20,
then contact support for
assistance.

Before You Begin
Tamper Proof Statement
To ensure that products purchased from Palo Alto Networks were not 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 labeled on the box or crate.
• The integrity of the tamper-proof tape used to seal the box or crate is not compromised.
• The integrity of the warranty label on the firewall or appliance is not compromised.
(PA-7000 Series firewalls only) PA-7000 Series firewalls are modular systems and
therefore do not include a warranty label on the firewall.

Third-Party Component Support
Before you consider installing third-party hardware, read the Palo Alto Networks Third-Party
Component Support statement.

Before You Begin
Product Safety Warnings
To avoid personal injury or death for yourself and others and to avoid damage to your Palo Alto
Networks hardware, be sure you understand and prepare for the following warnings before you
install or service the hardware. You will also see warning messages throughout the hardware
reference where potenal hazards exist.
All Palo Alto Networks products with laser-based opcal interfaces comply with 21 CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11.
The following safety warnings apply to all Palo Alto Networks firewalls and appliances, unless a
specific hardware model is specified.
• When installing or servicing a Palo Alto Networks firewall or appliance hardware component
that has exposed circuits, ensure that you wear an electrostac discharge (ESD) strap. Before
handling the component, make sure the metal contact on the wrist strap is touching your skin
and that the other end of the strap is connected to earth ground.
French Translaon: Lorsque vous installez ou que vous intervenez sur un composant matériel
de pare-feu ou de disposif Palo Alto Networks qui présente des circuits exposés, veillez
à porter un bracelet anstaque. Avant de manipuler le composant, vérifiez que le contact
métallique du bracelet anstaque est en contact avec votre peau et que l’autre extrémité du
bracelet est raccordée à la terre.
• Use grounded and shielded Ethernet cables to ensure agency compliance with electromagnec
compliance (EMC) regulaons.
French Translaon: Des câbles Ethernet blindés reliés à la terre doivent être ulisés pour
garanr la conformité de l'organisme aux émissions électromagnéques (CEM).
• (PA-3200, PA-5200, PA-5400, PA-7050, and PA-7080 firewalls only) At least two people are
recommended for unpacking, handling, and relocang the heavier firewalls.
• Do not connect a supply voltage that exceeds the input range of the firewall or appliance. For
details on the electrical range, refer to electrical specificaons in the hardware reference for
your firewall or appliance.
French Translaon: Veillez à ce que la tension d’alimentaon ne dépasse pas la plage d’entrée
du pare-feu ou du disposif. Pour plus d’informaons sur la mesure électrique, consulter la
rubrique des caractérisques électriques dans la documentaon de votre matériel de pare-feu
ou votre disposif.
• Do not replace a baery with an incorrect baery type; doing so can cause the replacement
baery to explode. Dispose of used baeries according to local regulaons.
French Translaon: Ne remplacez pas la baerie par une baerie de type non adapté, cee
dernière risquerait d’exploser. Meez au rebut les baeries usagées conformément aux
instrucons.
• I/O ports are intended for intra-building connecons only and not intended for OSP (Outside
Plant) connecons or any network connecons subject to external voltage surge events.

Before You Begin
•(All Palo Alto Networks appliances with two or more
power supplies)
Cauon: Shock hazard
Disconnect all power cords (AC or DC) from the power
inputs to fully de-energize the hardware.
French Translaon: (Tous les appareils Palo Alto
Networks avec au moins deux sources d’alimentaon)
Débranchez tous les cordons d’alimentaon (c.a. ou
c.c.) des entrées d’alimentaon et meez le matériel
hors tension.
•(PA-7000 Series firewalls only)
Cauon: High touch current
Connect to earth before connecng to the power
supply.
Ensure that the protecve earthing conductor is
connected to the provided ground lug on the rear side
of the firewall.
•(PA-7000 Series firewalls only) When removing a fan
tray from a PA-7000 Series firewall, first pull the fan
tray out about 1 inch (2.5cm) and then wait a minimum
of 10 seconds before extracng the enre fan tray.
This allows the fans to stop spinning and helps you
avoid serious injury when removing the fan tray. You
can replace a fan tray while the firewall is powered
on but you must replace it within 45 seconds and you
can only replace one fan tray at a me to prevent the
thermal protecon circuit from shung down the
firewall.
French Translaon: (Pare-feu PA-7000 uniquement)
Lors du retrait d’un roir de venlaon d’un pare-
feu PA-7000, rerez tout d’abord le roir sur 2,5 cm,
puis paentez au moins 10 secondes avant de rerer
complètement le roir de venlaon. Cela permet aux
venlateurs d’arrêter de tourner et permet d’éviter des
blessures graves lors du retrait du roir. Vous pouvez
remplacer un roir de venlaon lors de la mise sous
tension du pare-feu. Toutefois, vous devez le faire dans
les 45 secondes et vous ne pouvez remplacer qu’un
roir à la fois, sinon le circuit de protecon thermique
arrêtera le pare-feu.
