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 potential hazards
exist.
All Palo Alto Networks products with laser-based optical 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 electrostatic 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 Translation: Lorsque vous installez ou que vous intervenez sur un composant matériel de
pare-feu ou de dispositif Palo Alto Networks qui présente des circuits exposés, veillez à porter un
bracelet antistatique. Avant de manipuler le composant, vérifiez que le contact métallique du bracelet
antistatique 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 electromagnetic
compliance (EMC) regulations.
French Translation: Des câbles Ethernet blindés reliés à la terre doivent être utilisés pour garantir la
conformité de l'organisme aux émissions électromagnétiques (CEM).
• (PA-3200, PA-5200, PA-5400, PA-7050, and PA-7080 firewalls only) At least two people are
recommended for unpacking, handling, and relocating the heavier firewalls.
• () At least two people are recommended for unpacking, handling, and relocating the heavier firewalls.
• (PA-220 firewalls only) The appliance meets the requirements of IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity test. To
prevent damage from electrical surges on Ethernet ports, we recommend that you use an Ethernet surge
protection device with the following specifications:
• Rated for Gigabit Ethernet up to category 5E and minimum 1Gbps.
• Protection provided on all eight signal leads.
• Both line-to-line and line-to-ground/shield are provided.
• Protection device must be connected to earth ground and use shielded category 5E or higher
Ethernet cable.
Technical Specifications:
• Protective circuit complies with IEC test classifications B2, C1, C2, C3, and D1.
• Normal discharge current (core to earth ground) is 2kA per signal pair.
• Normal discharge current (core to core) is 100A.
• Total discharge current is 10kA.
• (ION 1000 and ION 2000 only) The appliance meets the requirements of IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity
test. To prevent damage from electrical surges on Ethernet ports, we recommend that you use an
Ethernet surge protection device with the following specifications:
