Installing Environmental specifications
Installing
This chapter describes installing your FortiGate unit in your server room,
environmental specifications and how to mount the FortiGate in a rack if
applicable.
This chapter contains the following topics:
•Environmental specifications
•Cautions and warnings
•Plugging in the FortiGate
•Plugging in the FortiGate
•Turning off the FortiGate unit
Environmental specifications
•Operating temperature: 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C)
If you install the FortiGate unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Therefore, make sure to install the equipment in
an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature.
•Storage temperature: -13 to 158°F (-25 to 70°C)
•Humidity: 5 to 90% non-condensing
•Air flow - For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•For free-standing installation, make sure that the appliance has at least 1.5 in.
(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
This device complies with part FCC Class A, Part 15, UL/CUL, C Tick, CE
and VCCI. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference, and
•This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The equipment compliance with FCC radiation exposure limit set forth for
uncontrolled Environment.
Cautions and warnings
Review the following cautions before installing your FortiGate unit.
Grounding
•Ensure the FortiGate unit is connected and properly grounded to a lightning
and surge protector. WAN or LAN connections that enter the premises from
outside the building should be connected to an Ethernet CAT5 (10/100 Mb/s)
surge protector.
•Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cables should be used whenever
possible rather than Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP).
•Do not connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity to avoid damage
to the FortiGate unit or personal injury.
Rack mount instructions
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Mounting
If required to fit into a rack unit, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the
FortiGate unit.
Adhere the rubber feet included in the package to the underside of the FortiGate
unit, near the corners of the device.

Installing Plugging in the FortiGate
Place the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has sufficient
clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
Plugging in the FortiGate
Use the following steps to connect the power supply to the FortiGate unit.
To power on the FortiGate unit
1Connect the AC adapter to the power connection at the back of the FortiGate unit.
2Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.
3Connect the power cable to a power outlet.
The FortiGate unit starts and the Power and Status LEDs light up. The Status
LEDs flash while the FortiGate unit starts up, and remain lit when the system is
running.
Connecting to the network
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to your router or
modem, whatever the connection is to the Internet. Connect the other end to the
FortiGate unit. Connect to either the External, WAN port, or port 1. Connect
additional cable to the Internal port or port 2 and your internal hub or switch.
Turning off the FortiGate unit
Always shut down the FortiGate operating system properly before turning off the
power switch to avoid potential hardware problems.
To power off the FortiGate unit
1From the web-based manager, go to System > Status.
2In the Unit Operation display, select Shutdown, or from the CLI enter:
execute shutdown
3Disconnect the power cables from the power supply.
