• The FortiGate-3600 unit may overload your supply circuit and impact your overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use appropriate equipment nameplate ratings to address this concern.

• Make sure the FortiGate-3600 unit has reliable grounding. Fortinet recommends direct connection to the branch circuit.

Operating temperature: 32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C) Storage temperature: -13 to 158 F (-25 to 70 C) Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing

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-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.

Powering on the FortiGate unit

The FortiGate unit does not have an on/off switch.

To power on the FortiGate unit

1 Connect the power cables to the power connections on the back of the FortiGate

unit.

2 Connect the power cables to power outlets.

Each power cable should be connected to a different power source. If one power source fails, the other may still be operative.

Connecting 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.

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 or the web-based manager. For more information on the front control buttons and LCD, see “LCD front control buttons” on page 23.

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 the most popular web browser

• a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub and 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.

Connecting to the web-based manager using port 1

You can use the port 1 interface to connect to the web-based manager. The port 1 interface can be used as an optional interface on the FortiGate-3000 when there is no optical network to connect to the internal interface.

To connect to the web-based manager using port 1

1 Connect to the FortiGate-3000 command line interface (CLI). See “Connecting to

the CLI” on page 22.

2 Set the IP address and netmask of Port 1 to an IP address you can connect to a

computer with an Ethernet connection, and set the administrative access to HTTPS.

config system interface

edit port1

set ip <address_ip> <netmask> set allowaccess https

end

Example

To set the IP address of Port 1 to 192.168.20.99 and netmask to 255.255.255.0 and set administrative access to HTTPS, enter:

config system interface

edit port1

set ip 192.168.20.99. 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess https

end

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

address on the same subnet as Port 1.

4 Using the crossover cable (or the Ethernet hub and cables), connect Port 1 of the

FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection.
