Tamper Proof Statement
To ensure that products purchased from Palo Alto Networks have not been 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 labelled on the box or crate.
• The integrity of the tamper-proof tape used to seal the box or crate has not been
compromised.
• The warranty seals on the device itself do not show evidence of tampering. Being a
modular system, please note that the PA-7050 does not have a warranty seal.
Before You Begin
• It is recommended that two people be available to mount the M-100 in a 19-inch rack.
• Have a Phillips head screwdriver available and a small pliers or nut wrench.
• Verify that the intended location has adequate air circulation and meets the temperature
requirements. Refer
“Environmental Specifications” on page 20.
• Unpack the device.
• Verify that power is not connected to the appliance.
• Allow clear space on both sides of the appliance.
