Quick Take
Quick Take: Freeze PAN-PA-SURGE-A as a Palo Alto commercial surcharge line. The published list unit is $0.10 for every $1 of PA-Series Firewall List Price — ten cents on the dollar, or 10% of hardware list. It is not a firewall, not Threat Prevention, and not Ethernet SPD. Put it on the 技术偏离表 as its own row. Split 13% VAT special-invoice lines. Channel net remains pending confirmation. TAOHAN maps equal PA-Series surcharge briefs for China enterprise RFQs in one business day.
What is PAN-PA-SURGE-A on a Palo Alto quote?
Quick Answer: A commercial surcharge SKU, not a 1U chassis. Base = PA-Series firewall list. Dual-box = two hardware-list bases. Do not nest this 10% on a SKU that is already a percent of hardware, such as PAN-NGFW-SLS logging attach.
Typical scene: a PA-Series brief already named PAN-PA-440 or PAN-PA-5410 plus three years of Threat. Finance approved the chassis column. The trap is a PO that never wrote PAN-PA-SURGE-A, or a workbook that stamped 10% onto subscriptions because “everything is Palo Alto list.” Treat SURGE-A like a tire surcharge on a truck quote — you still buy the truck as its own line. That is a typical 政企 bid-pack failure, not a named customer.
- Fit: PA-Series hardware RFQ that must show the 10% list surcharge as its own MPN; HA pair with one SURGE-A base per firewall list; open quotes that named chassis but omitted this PID; China packs that need a 13% VAT special-invoice split and a 偏离表 row.
- Unfit: A silent substitute for PA-440 / PA-5410 hardware; a 10% stamp on Threat / URL / WildFire / support; Ethernet surge / lightning SPD; nesting again on PAN-NGFW-SLS.
Product identity stays with Palo Alto PA-Series NGFW pages and hardware docs. TAOHAN does not invent a NextWave PDF date for this MPN. Public partner bulletin string was not confirmed on 2026-10-11 scans — freeze the buyer formula, then confirm on a dated China RFQ.
How is the $0.10 per $1 formula applied?
Quick Answer: List unit = $0.10 per $1 of PA-Series Firewall List Price = 10% of hardware list. Base is firewall list only. Subscriptions stay off unless a later dated quote names another base. Public pages do not show chassis dollars or a computed surcharge total.
| Line | Official list identity | What to do on the RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| PAN-PA-SURGE-A | $0.10 per $1 of PA-Series firewall list (10%) | Own 偏离表 row; 13% VAT split |
| PA-Series chassis (PAN-PA-*) | Hardware list this formula percentages | Keep as its own MPN × qty |
| HA / dual-box | Two hardware-list bases | Two SURGE-A bases, not one lump |
| Threat / URL / WildFire / support | Not the stated SURGE-A base | Off this 10% unless a dated quote says otherwise |
| PAN-NGFW-SLS | A different percent-of-hardware SKU | Do not nest 10% on 10% |
| Oct 3 family rates | PA-400/1400 15%, PA-3400/5400 10%, PA-500 +15% base list | Second page — not this H1 |
- Soft net: after-discount corridor remains industry estimate / pending confirmation. 13% VAT special-invoice amounts follow the dated RFQ, not this page.
- Leftover 报备: if still in date, write the expiry beside chassis qty. Do not assume leftover registration auto-adds SURGE-A.
- Stock language: a surcharge line is not a warehouse receipt. Ask 现货 vs dated ship as its own field.
What PAN-PA-SURGE-A is not
It is not Ethernet SPD / IEC 61000-4-5 lightning protection. It is not PAN-NGFW-SLS logging attach. It is not a faster PA-440. It is not the October 3 family-rate table. Mixing those four on one 偏离表 cell is how a 政企 pack fails technical deviation in round one.
Do not invent PAN-PA-SURGE-B. If a dated distributor quote applies a different base, freeze that quote date beside the MPN instead of minting a second SKU. TAOHAN will not mint a fake surcharge PID to make a spreadsheet look complete.
Typical use cases: which PA-Series carts need this row?
Act now on open PA-Series hardware quotes that named chassis but omitted PAN-PA-SURGE-A, on HA pairs where finance lumped two boxes into one 10%, and on bid packs that stamped 10% onto Threat years. Integrators: dual-box means two hardware-list bases. Procurement: the 偏离表 wants the surcharge MPN as a separate technical-deviation line, not a footnote under subscriptions.
- Missing line: chassis approved, SURGE-A absent — PO comes back. Add this PID.
- Wrong base: 10% on Threat / URL / WildFire years — pull it back to firewall list.
- HA lump: two chassis list bases mean two SURGE-A bases.
- Oct 3 mix-up: PA-400 15% family rate is a second column, not this SKU’s H1.
Buyer decision matrix
| Situation | List posture | RFQ ask |
|---|---|---|
| Quote named chassis only | Add PAN-PA-SURGE-A at 10% of hardware list | Chassis MPN × qty + this PID |
| HA pair | One SURGE-A base per firewall list | Two bases, not one blob |
| 10% already on Threat years | Wrong base on this freeze | Move 10% off subscriptions |
| PA-400 vs Oct 3 15% | Different intent — family policy page | Flag mismatch; pending confirmation |
| China 政企 pack | 偏离表 own row; 13% VAT split | Hardware vs surcharge lines; 报备 date |
How do you freeze PAN-PA-SURGE-A on one RFQ?
- Step 1 — Copy the MPN — PAN-PA-SURGE-A as its own 偏离表 row.
- Step 2 — Lock the formula — $0.10 per $1 of PA-Series firewall list (10% of hardware list).
- Step 3 — Count chassis — MPN × qty; HA = two list bases.
- Step 4 — Carve attach — Threat / URL / WildFire / support stay off this 10%.
- Step 5 — Do not nest — PAN-NGFW-SLS is a different percent-of-hardware SKU.
- Step 6 — 专票 and 报备 — Split hardware vs surcharge for 13% VAT; write leftover 报备 expiry; stock pending confirmation.
RFQ checklist
Send chassis MPN × qty, HA count, whether PAN-PA-SURGE-A already appears, leftover 报备 expiry if any, and whether hardware and surcharge need separate 13% VAT special-invoice lines. Ask for surcharge formula, chassis, stock, and 专票 split as separate columns. Email info@021taohan.com or call 177-0882-1321. TAOHAN reviews equal PA-Series surcharge briefs in one business day and does not publish a list price.
Common RFQ pitfalls on PAN-PA-SURGE-A
Buyers lose CapEx when they treat SURGE-A as a faster firewall, or when they apply 10% onto every Palo Alto line in a 政企 pack. Keep three columns: chassis, SURGE-A, attach years. Soft channel net after distributor discount remains an industry estimate pending confirmation — never invent public RMB from the 10% formula alone.
- Missing PID: chassis PO without PAN-PA-SURGE-A comes back.
- 10% on subscriptions: base is hardware list on this freeze.
- HA as one lump: two boxes, two bases.
- Ethernet SPD mix-up: that is lightning hardware, not this MPN.
- Nesting on SLS: do not put 10% on another percent-of-HW SKU.
- Merging Oct 3 15%: family policy is a second page. Flag mismatch; pending confirmation.
- One 专票 blob: hardware vs surcharge need separate 13% VAT treatment.
- Treating formula as 现货: stock is a separate field.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It is a commercial surcharge SKU. The list unit is $0.10 per $1 of PA-Series Firewall List Price — 10% of hardware list. Copy the chassis MPN as its own hardware line on the 偏离表. Channel net and 13% VAT special-invoice amounts stay pending confirmation on a dated China RFQ.
Not on this freeze. The stated base is PA-Series firewall list — hardware. Do not stamp 10% onto Threat, URL, WildFire, or support years unless a later dated quote names that base. Treat subscriptions like diesel in a gasoline truck: different fuel, different line.
No. This page freezes PAN-PA-SURGE-A at 10% of PA-Series firewall list. Oct 3 family rates (PA-400/1400 15%, PA-3400/5400 10%, PA-500 +15% base list) live on the October policy article. If a PA-400 bid pack shows 10% here and 15% there, flag the mismatch on the RFQ — pending confirmation. Do not invent PAN-PA-SURGE-B.
Quote list, net, and discount stay off public pages. Channel figures are industry estimate / pending confirmation. The $0.10-per-$1 line is a formula, not a published chassis dollar and not a 专票 amount.

Key Takeaway: Freeze PAN-PA-SURGE-A as 10% of PA-Series firewall list — $0.10 per $1 of hardware list — then write chassis MPN × qty beside it. Dual-box means two bases. Do not paste Threat years or Ethernet SPD into this row. Put it on the 偏离表 and split 13% VAT.
