FortiGate-7121F System Guide
You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the FortiGate-7000F as long as four PSUs
are connected to power and operating normally. If you need to hot swap one of four operating
PSUs, you should do this during a quiet period, because if the FortiGate-7000F is operating
with less that four PSUs, some of the FPMs may be shut down.
