FortiGate-5020 hardware procedures
This chapter describes:
•
Mounting the FortiGate-5020 chassis
•
Connecting the FortiGate-5020 chassis to AC power
•
Turning on FortiGate-5020 chassis power
•
Inserting FortiGate-5000 series modules into a FortiGate-5020 chassis
Mounting the FortiGate-5020 chassis
The FortiGate-5020 chassis must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The
chassis requires 4U of vertical space in the rack.
If you install the FortiGate-5020 chassis in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does
not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
Air flow
For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the FortiGate-5020 chassis is not compromised.
Connecting the FortiGate-5020 chassis to AC power
The AC power connectors on the back of the FortiGate-5020 chassis provide
power to two factory installed redundant FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.
Each power supply distributes 800 W of 48VDC power to the entire
FortiGate-5020 chassis.
You can connect one AC power connector and switch the power connector on to
provide power to the FortiGate-5020 chassis. You can connect the second AC
power connector and switch the second power connector on to provide redundant
power to the FortiGate-5020 chassis. For the most effective redundancy
protection, you should connect each AC power connector to a different AC power
circuit.
AC input power characteristics:
•
AC input voltage: 110 to 250 VAC
•
AC input current: 10A
•
Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
Note: Mount the FortiGate chassis before installing the FortiGate-5000 series modules.
!
Caution: The FortiGate-5020 chassis should not be operated as a free-standing appliance.
