This chapter describes how to connect DC power to a FortiGate-5060 chassis.
If main DC power supplied by the data center in which the FortiGate-5060 chassis is to be
installed is not available, you can use a FortiGate power converter shelf to convert AC to
DC to supply DC power to the FortiGate-5060 chassis.

Turning on FortiGate-5060 chassis power
The FortiGate-5060 chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar location
that has available -48VDC power fed from a 30A listed circuit breaker (also called battery
power or main DC power). Fortinet expects that most FortiGate-5060 customers will be
installing their chassis in a data center or similar location that is already equipped with a
-48VDC power system fed from a 30A listed circuit breaker that provides power to existing
networking or telecom equipment. The FortiGate-5060 chassis is 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-5060 chassis is being installed.
Connect the FortiGate-5060 chassis to r DC power using the redundant -48V to - 60 VDC
power entry modules (PEMs) on the FortiGate-5060 back panel labelled PEM A and
PEM B. The specified voltage range of the PEMs is -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC. The chassis
ships with both PEM A and B installed. The PEMs provide redundant DC power
connections for the FortiGate-5060 chassis and distribute DC power to the chassis slots
and to the fan trays.
Each FortiGate-5060 PEM includes two connectors for two power terminals that connect
power to different power zones in the FortiGate-5060 chassis. In the PEM, each power
terminal is protected by a 30A fused switch. The power zones are connected together and
should be connected to a single -48VDC power source with a 30A listed circuit breaker.
Each power zone supplies power to different FortiGate-5060 slots and cooling fan trays.
You should always connect both power zones.
