Mounting The Fortigate-7060E Chassis In A Two-Post Rack; Air Flow - Fortinet FortiGate-7060E System Manual

FortiGate-7060E hardware assembly and rack mounting

Mounting the FortiGate-7060E chassis in a two-post rack

The FortiGate-7060E package includes two mid-mount trays and two mid-mount ears that you can use to mount
the chassis in a 2-post rack. As shown in the diagram, first attach the mid-mount trays to the rack making sure to
leave enough space above the trays for the chassis. Then attach the mid-mount ears to the chassis also as shown
in the diagram. Finally line up the mid-mount trays with the mid-mount ears so that the chassis is supported in the
rack. Then use screws to attach the mid-mount ears and the chassis to the rack.

Air flow

For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the FortiGate-7060E
chassis is not compromised. Make sure that the chassis ventilation openings at the front and back are not blocked
by cables or other components. The recommended minimum clearance at the front of the chassis is 100 mm and
the recommended clearance from the rear of the chassis is 100 mm. This results in a total footprint of 850 mm
from front to back. See
