Note: Accessories may not be exactly as shown.

The FortiSandbox unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in any
standard 19 inch rack unit with the provided rack-mount brackets and screws.

Please read the Cautions and Warnings section prior to installing your device.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment.

Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

To install the FortiSandbox unit into a rack:
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that

two or more people install the unit into the rack.

1. Ensure that the FortiSandbox unit is placed on a stable surface prior to rack-

mount installation.

2. Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the unit using the

provided screws.
a. If you are installing the unit into a four-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets

with the handles aligned with the front of the unit.

b. If you are installing the unit into a two-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets

with the handles aligned with the middle of the unit.

3. Position the FortiSandbox unit in the rack. Ensure there is enough room around

the unit to allow for sufficient air flow.

4. Line up the rack-mount bracket holes to the holes on the rack and ensure that the

FortiSandbox unit is level.

5. Finger tighten four rack-mount screws to attach the unit to the rack.

6. Verify that the spacing around the FortiSandbox unit conforms to requirements

and that the unit is level, then tighten the rack-mount screws with an appropriate
screwdriver.

7. Using the provided power cables, plug the cables into the rear of the unit, and

then into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be
connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the
other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.

To install the unit on a flat surface:

1. Ensure that the surface onto which the FortiSandbox unit to be installed is clean,

level, and stable and that there is at least 1.5in (3.8cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate airflow.

2. Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiSandbox unit.

3. Place the unit in the designated location.

4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiSandbox unit conforms to requirements

and that the unit is level.

5. Using the provided power cables, plug the cables into the rear of the unit, and

then into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be
connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the
other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.

Caution: SFP transceivers are static sensitive devices. Use an ESD wrist strap or
similar grounding device when handling transceivers.

Caution: Do not install or remove SFP transceivers while fiber-optic cables are still
attached. This can cause damage to the cables, cable connectors, and the optical
interfaces. It may also prevent the transceiver from latching correctly into the socket
connector.

Note: Installing and removing SFP transceivers can shorten their useful life. Do not
install or remove transceivers more than is necessary.

To install the SFP transceivers:

1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.

2. Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the front panel of the unit.

3. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the cage socket opening and ensure that

the transceiver is correctly oriented.
When the transceiver is correctly oriented, the extraction lever will be level with

the socket latch.
Note: SFP cage socket orientation may vary. Ensure that the SFP transceiver

module is correctly oriented each time that you are inserting a transceiver.

4. Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide it into the cage socket until it clicks

into place.
