Warnings and cautions
Introduction
• Turning off all power switches may not turn off all power to the FortiGate-5000
series equipment. Some circuitry in the FortiGate-5000 series equipment may
continue to operate even though all power switches are off.
• Many FortiGate-5000 components are hot swappable and can be installed or
removed while the power is on. But some of the procedures in this document
may require power to be turned off and completely disconnected. Follow all
instructions in the procedures in this document that describe disconnecting
FortiGate-5000 series equipment from power sources, telecommunications
links and networks before installing, or removing FortiGate-5000 series
components, or performing other maintenance tasks. Failure to follow the
instructions in this document can result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
• Install FortiGate-5000 series chassis at the lower positions of a rack to avoid
making the rack top-heavy and unstable.
• Do not insert metal objects or tools into open chassis slots.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiGate-5000 series equipment.
Only perform the procedures described in this document from an ESD
workstation. If no such station is available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap and attaching it to an available
ESD connector such as the ESD sockets provided on FortiGate-5000 series
chassis.
• Make sure all FortiGate-5000 series components have reliable grounding.
Fortinet recommends direct connections to the building ground.
• If you install a FortiGate-5000 series component in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Make sure the operating ambient temperature
does not exceed Fortinet’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
• Installing FortiGate-5000 series equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• FortiGate-5000 series chassis should be installed by a qualified electrician.
• FortiGate-5000 series equipment shall be installed and connected to an
electrical supply source in accordance with the applicable codes and
regulations for the location in which it is installed. Particular attention shall be
paid to use of correct wire type and size to comply with the applicable codes
and regulations for the installation / location. Connection of the supply wiring to
the terminal block on the equipment may be accomplished using Listed wire
compression lugs, for example, Pressure Terminal Connector made by Ideal
Industries Inc. or equivalent which is suitable for AWG 10. Particular attention
shall be given to use of the appropriate compression tool specified by the
compression lug manufacturer, if one is specified.
