Take a closer look at the hardware architecture of each PA-Series Next-Generation Firewall family by selecting from the “Select” menu above or one of the PA-Series buttons below. ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) enables you to prevent unknown threats, see and secure everything—including the Internet of Things (IoT)—and reduce errors with automatic policy recommendations.
Panorama is a centralized management system that provides global visibility and control over multiple Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls through an easy to use web-based interface. Panorama enables administrators to view aggregate or device-specific application, user, and content data and manage multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls—all from a central location.
Security deployments can overload IT teams with complex security rules and data from multiple sources. Panorama offers easy-to-implement and centralized management features to gain insight into network-wide traffic and threats, and administer your firewalls everywhere.
The Palo Alto Networks® M-200 and M-600 appliances are multi-function appliances that you can configure to function in Panorama™ Management mode, Panorama Management-only mode, Panorama Log Collector mode, or PAN-DB Private Cloud mode.

Unique Identification (UID) button
Use the UID feature to help you locate the appliance
when you move from the front to the back of the equipment rack where
the appliance is installed. When you push the UID button to enable
the UID feature, both the front-panel System information LED and
the back-panel UID LED illuminate bright blue to help you locate
the appliance when you move between opposite sides of the equipment
rack. Push the UID button again to deactivate these LEDs.

System information (overheat and UID) LED
Solid red—An overheat condition
occurred.
Blinking red at the rate of one blink per second (1Hz)—A
fan failure occurred.
Blinking red at the rate of four blinks per second (.25Hz)—One
of the two power supplies is not providing power to the appliance
(possibly because a power supply failed or because there is no power
source connected to the power supply).
Solid blue—The UID feature is activated (see the UID
button description).

5
Console port
Use this port to connect a
management computer to the appliance using a 9-pin serial cable
and terminal emulation software.
The console connection provides
access to appliance boot messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool
(MRT), and the command line interface (CLI).
If your
management computer does not have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial
converter.
Use the following settings to configure
your terminal emulation software to connect to the console port:
Data rate: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

Hard-disk drives (HDDs)
Disk drive bays and HDDs used
for log storage. By default, the M-600 ships with four HDDs installed
in drive bays A1/A2 and B1/B2. You can install up to eight additional
drives (four additional RAID 1 pairs) in the remaining drive bays
(C1/C2, D1/D2, E1/E2, and F1-F2) to increase log storage capacity.
Each
pair of drives are in a RAID 1 configuration. For example, A1-A2
is a RAID 1 pair and B1-B2 is a RAID 1 pair.
For details on
storage capacity, refer to the Panorama Datasheet . For details on adding
additional storage to the appliance, refer the Panorama Administrator’s Guide
