Removing the FortiGate-6000F from a four-post rack

Make sure that a lifting device is available to slide the FortiGate-6000F on to when removing it from the rack. You will
need a screwdriver to remove the four rack screws.
1. Power down the FortiGate-6000F and remove all cables connected to it.
2. Remove the four rack screws to allow the FortiGate-6000F to slide out of the rack.
3. Squeeze the system release buttons on the front of both inner rails at the same time to release the FortiGate-
6000F.
4. Use the front handles to pull the FortiGate-6000F out of the rack until the rails lock in their fully extended position.
5. Raise the lifting device under the FortiGate-6000F.
6. Slide the system lock out tabs forward on both inner rails, and slowly slide the FortiGate-6000F away from the rack
and onto the lifting device.
Apply even pressure to both sides of the FortiGate-6000F while doing this. As you slide the FortiGate-6000F out,
the inner rails will slide out of the middle rails.
7. Push the middle rail latch counter clockwise, and slide the middle rails back into the outer rails.
FortiGate-6000F 6.4.2 System Guide
The rack must be stable before sliding the FortiGate-6000F out. Failure to stabilize the rack
may cause it to tip over.
Do not pick up the FortiGate-6000F by the front handles. They are designed to pull the
FortiGate-6000F from the rack on the rails.
