PA-5510
2U firewall with 45 Gbps of threat prevention in appmix, six 100 GbE ports and RAID 1 storage.
Overview
The PA-5510 brings together multigigabit copper interfaces, 10/25 Gbps fibre and six QSFP 28 40/100 Gbps ports in a 2U chassis. Published figures include 45 Gbps of threat prevention and 7 million sessions. The RAID 1 SSD pair and redundant power supplies support operational continuity. Performance figures are laboratory references under documented conditions; sizing considers the actual project workload and controls.

| First supported version | 12.2.2 PAN-OS — Initial version listed in the hardware reference; the project is subject to the current support matrix. |
| Dimensions (H × W × D) | 86.3 × 439.4 × 474.9 mm — Appliance dimensions, according to the hardware reference. |
| Appliance weight | 16.74 kg — Equipment weight, not shipping weight. |
| Maximum power consumption | 1125 W — Maximum specified in the model electrical reference; size the circuit and UPS for the configuration. |
| Form factor | 2 U — PA-5510–5530 group. |
| SFP/SFP+ ports | 12 ports — 1/10 Gbps. |
| Portas SFP 28 | 8 ports — 10/25 Gbps. |
| Portas QSFP 28 | 6 ports — 40/100 Gbps for data; excludes HSCI. |
| HSCI | 2 ports — 40/100 Gbps for active/passive HA. |
| Storage | Pair of 3.84 TB SSDs in RAID 1 (TB / RAID) — Value according to the overview; RAID 1 mirrors data. |
| Fontes | 2 modules — 1200 W AC or DC per module; one required and one redundant; the same type in both positions. |
