Air Flow

• For rack installation, make sure the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the FortiGate unit is not compromised

• For free-standing installation, make sure the FortiGate unit has at least 1.5 in.
(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.

• 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. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed
the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.

Mechanical Loading

For rack installation, make sure the mechanical loading of the FortiGate unit is
evenly distributed to avoid a hazardous condition.

Installing the FortiGate unit Connecting to the FortiGate unit

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

There are three methods of connecting and configuring the basic FortiGate
settings:

• the web-based manager

• the front control buttons and LCD

• the command line interface (CLI)

Web-based manager

You can configure and manage the FortiGate unit using HTTP or a secure HTTPS
connection from any computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or recent
browser. The web-based manager supports multiple languages.

You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings, and
monitor the status of the FortiGate unit.

Front control buttons and LCD

You can use the front control buttons and LCD on the FortiGate unit to configure
IP addresses, default gateways and switch operating modes. The LCD shows you
what mode you are in without having to go to the command line interface (CLI) or
the web-based manager. For more information on the front control buttons and
LCD, see “LCD front control buttons” on page 24.

Command line interface

You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.

Connecting to the web-based manager

Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first
time. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective
immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.

To connect to the web-based manager, you require:

• a computer with an Ethernet connection

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of most
popular web browser

• a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub with two Ethernet cables

Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web
browser), ping to your FortiGate unit to see if the connection between the computer and the
FortiGate unit is working properly.

To connect to the web-based manager

1 Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP

address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

2 Using the crossover cable or the Ethernet hub and cables, connect the internal

interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection.
