Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
If required to fit into a rack unit, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the
FortiGate unit.
Adhere the rubber feet included in the package to the underside of the FortiGate
unit, near the corners of the device.
Place the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has sufficient
clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
Use the following steps to connect the power supply to the FortiGate unit.
To power on the FortiGate unit
Connect the AC adapter to the power connection at the back of the FortiGate unit.
Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.

The FortiGate unit starts and the Power and Status LEDs light up. The Status
LEDs flash while the FortiGate unit starts up, and remain lit when the system is
running.
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to your router or
modem, whatever the connection is to the Internet. Connect the other end to the
FortiGate unit. Connect to either the External, WAN port, or port 1. Connect
