This chapter describes how to connect data center DC power to a FortiGate-5140
chassis. If data center DC power is not available, this document also describes
how to use the FortiGate-5053 power convertor tray to supply DC power to the
FortiGate-5140 chassis.
This chapter describes:
• About data center DC power
• Connecting a FortiGate-5140 chassis to data center DC power and data center
ground
• Connecting the FortiGate-5140 chassis to AC power using the FortiGate-5053
power converter tray
• Turning on FortiGate-5140 chassis power
The FortiGate-5140 chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar
location that has available -48VDC power (also called battery power). Fortinet
expects that most FortiGate-5140 customers will be installing their FortiGate
equipment in a data center or similar location that is already equipped with a -
48VDC power system that provides power to existing networking or telecom
equipment. The FortiGate-5140 chassis are designed to be connected directly to
this DC power system.
In this document, data center DC power refers to a -48VDC power system that is
already available at the location at which the FortiGate-5140 chassis is being
installed.
Connect the FortiGate-5140 chassis to data center DC power using the redundant
power entry modules (PEMs) on the FortiGate-5140 back panel. Fortinet supplies
and recommends AWG-14 stranded wires for all power connections: Black for
-48VDC and red for RTN. Green AWG-6 wires are recommended for ground
connections. If required, install terminal lugs on the wires before connecting them
to the PEM terminal strips. Connect all eight of the terminals on the PEM terminal
strips, four black -48VDC connections and four red RTN connections.
Each FortiGate-5140 PEM includes 4 connectors that connect power to 4 different
power zones in the FortiGate-5140 chassis. Each power zone supplies power to
different FortiGate-5140 slots and cooling fan trays. You should always connect all
4 power zones.
