Connecting a FortiGate-5060 PEM to DC power
18
To connect the FortiGate-5060 PEMs to data center DC power you must use power
connectors that comply with the local electrical wiring code and the requirements of the
facility in which you are installing the FortiGate-5060 chassis.
Fortinet supplies two 3-ft. power cables with AWG-10 stranded wires and ring terminals:
Black for -48VDC and red for RTN. These cables should only be used to connect the
FortiGate-5060 PEMs to a FortiGate power convertor shelf if purchased with your
FortiGate-5060 chassis. If the power cable length needs to be longer than 3 ft., higher
gauge wires should be used.
Green AWG-6 wires are recommended for ground connections (not supplied with the
chassis).
If you are connecting both PEMs the -48VDC and RTN terminals on PEM A and PEM B
must be wired symmetrically. This means that the connections must be the same to both
PEMs.
FortiGate-5060 PEMs are hot-swappable, which means you can remove and replace a
defective PEM while the system is operating (assuming that the FortiGate-5060 system
has both PEMs connected for redundancy). It is not necessary to notify the software or
reset the system power. You can add, remove, or replace a second PEM without
interrupting FortiGate-5060 operation.
The following procedure describes how to connect power to PEM A. You can repeat this
procedure to connect PEM B.
