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).
• (ION 7000 and ION 9000 only) At least two people are recommended for unpacking, handling, and
relocating the heavier firewalls.
• (All ION devices) 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.
•French Translation: (Tous les appareils ION) Les appareils sont conformes aux exigences du test
d’immunité aux surtensions IEC 61000-4-5. Pour éviter les dommages résultant de surtension électrique
sur les ports Ethernet, il est recommandé d’utiliser un dispositif de protection contre les surtensions aux
caractéristiques suivantes:
• Gigabit Ethernet jusqu’à la catégorie 5E, débit 1 Go/s minimum.
• Protection sur les huit câbles signal.
• Le blindage et la mise à la terre “ligne à ligne” et “ligne à la terre” sont fournis.
• Le dispositif de protection doit être raccordé à la terre et un câble Ethernet blindé de catégorie 5E ou
supérieure doit être utilisé.

Caractéristiques techniques:
• Le circuit de protection est conforme aux classifications de test IEC B2, C1, C2, C3, et D1.
• Le courant de décharge normal (cœur vers terre) est de 2kA par paire de signal.
• Le courant de décharge normal (cœur vers cœur) est de 100 A.
• Le courant de décharge total est de 10kA.
• 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 specifications in the hardware reference for your firewall or
appliance.
French Translation: Veillez à ce que la tension d’alimentation ne dépasse pas la plage d’entrée du
pare-feu ou du dispositif. Pour plus d’informations sur la mesure électrique, consulter la rubrique des
caractéristiques électriques dans la documentation de votre matériel de pare-feu ou votre dispositif.
• Do not replace a battery with an incorrect battery type; doing so can cause the replacement battery to
explode. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
French Translation: Ne remplacez pas la batterie par une batterie de type non adapté, cette dernière
risquerait d’exploser. Mettez au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.
•(All Palo Alto Networks appliances with two or
more power supplies) Disconnect all power cords
(AC or DC) from the power inputs to fully de-
energize the hardware.
French Translation: (Tous les appareils Palo
Alto Networks avec au moins deux sources
d’alimentation) Débranchez tous les cordons
d’alimentation (c.a. ou c.c.) des entrées
d’alimentation et mettez le matériel hors tension.
• Declaration of the Presence Condition of the Restricted Substances Marking.

ION 9000
Prisma SD-WAN ION 9000, designed for the data center, enables you to create a secure SD-WAN fabric
across branches and data centers. It is designed to install seamlessly in the data center by peering with
adjacent data center devices using traditional, standards-based routing protocols. Deploy the ION 9000 in
an off-path model enabling elastic, non-disruptive scale-out and high availability (HA).
The ION 9000:
• Establishes connectivity to the data center network and exchanges routing information.
• Terminates virtual private networks (VPNs) for all Prisma SD-WAN deployed branch sites.
• Maintains path symmetry and ensures the best path for an application.
• Enables application Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and path selection in conjunction with branch ION
devices.
