Mounting
If required to fit into a rack unit, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the
FortiGate unit.
The FortiGate unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in a standard 19-
inch rack unit.
When placing the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface, ensure the unit has at
least 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow
for cooling.
For rack mounting, use the mounting brackets and screws included with the
FortiGate unit.
To install the FortiGate unit into a rack
1 Attach the mounting brackets to the side to the unit so that the brackets are on the
front portion of the FortiGate unit. Ensure that the screws are tight and not loose.
The following photos illustrate how the brackets should be mounted. Note that the
screw configuration may vary depending on your FortiGate unit.
