The FortiGate unit can be placed on any ﬂat surface, or mounted in any standard 19

inch (48.3 cm) rack unit with the provided rack-mount brackets and screws.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment.

Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

To install the FortiGate unit into a rack:

Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that two or

more people install the unit into the rack.

1. Ensure that the FortiGate unit is placed on a stable surface prior to rack-mount

installation.

2. Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the unit using the provided

screws.

a. If you are installing the unit into a four-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets

with the handles aligned with the front of the unit.

b. If you are installing the unit into a two-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets

with the handles aligned with the middle of the unit.

2. Installation

3. Position the FortiGate unit in the rack. Ensure there is enough room around the unit to

allow for sufﬁcient air ﬂow.

4. Line up the rack-mount bracket holes to the holes on the rack and ensure that the

5. Finger tighten four rack-mount screws to attach the unit to the rack.

6. Verify that the spacing around the FortiGate unit conforms to requirements and that

the unit is level, then tighten the rack-mount screws with an applicable screwdriver.

7. Using the provided power cable, plug the cable into the back of the unit, and then into

a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterruptible

power suppy (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be connected

to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the other may still be

operational and the unit will not lose power.

To install the unit on a ﬂat surface:

1. Ensure that the surface onto which the FortiGate unit to be installed is clean, level, and

stable and that there is at least 1.5in. (3.81 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for

adequate airﬂow.

2. Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiGate unit.

3. Place the unit in the designated location.

4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiGate unit conforms to requirements and that

the unit is level.

5. Using the provided power cable, plug the cable into the back of the unit, and then into

a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterruptible

power suppy (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be connected

to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the other may still be

operational and the unit will not lose power.
