Rack Installation
Your device can be mounted in any standard 19 inch rack unit with the provided
mounting hardware.
Please also read "Cautions and Warnings" at the end of this guide prior to
installing your device.
Caution: The rack must be stabilized before sliding the unit out for
servicing. Failure to stabilize may cause the rack to tip over.
Do not pick up the device with the front handles. They are designed to pull
the system from a rack only.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that two
or more people install the unit into the rack.
Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
Rack Precautions
•
Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor with the full weight of the rack resting on the jacks.
•
For single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
For multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Ensure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•
Only extend one component at a time; extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Note: After installing the device into the rack, install the hard disk drives
into the device.

Rack Rail Parts
Outer Rail
This side
faces out
The rail assembly consists of three parts:
•
Outer rail: connects to the rack
•
Middle rail: connects the inner and outer rails
•
Inner rail: connects to the device.
The inner rail has a locking tab that locks the device into place when it is
installed and pushed into the rack. This prevents the device from sliding fully out
of the rack when the device is being worked on.
There are four steps to install the device into the rack:
1. Disassemble the rail assembly
2. Attach the inner rails to the device
3. Install the outer rails on a rack
4. Install the device into the rack
