The unit operates on 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz with a maximum current draw of 6 A at 54 VDC and a peak power consumption of 336 W when supplying 181 W of PoE output. Four 1G/2.5G/PoE ports provide up to 90 W each under IEEE 802.3bt for powering access points or cameras. The 1U rackmount chassis measures 1.75" H x 16.1" W x 12.6" D and weighs 13.5 lbs for standard cabinet installation.

Zero Touch Provisioning and high availability

Zero Touch Provisioning simplifies initial deployment by automating configuration retrieval and software updates without on-site engineering. Active/active and active/passive high-availability modes maintain session continuity during hardware or link failures. Management access includes a dedicated out-of-band port, USB, RJ45 console and USB-C console for flexible administrative control.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PA-545-POE in a rack and which step is often missed?

Mount the 1.75" H chassis in a standard rack using the supplied brackets, connect the 100-240 VAC power cord, then link the 1 x 10/100/1000 out-of-band management port so Zero Touch Provisioning can register the serial number automatically.

What maintenance or replacement will the PA-545-POE need later?

The 120 GB internal storage holds logs and signatures; plan to offload logs before the disk fills. Fan trays are field-replaceable — swap them when the chassis alert shows a fan fault.

Which limit appears first on the PA-545-POE under sustained heavy traffic?

Threat Prevention throughput caps at 3.0 Gbps (appmix) while firewall throughput reaches 5.0 Gbps, so the inspection engine saturates before the raw forwarding plane.
