Connecting
Connect the following to the FortiGate unit. Ensure the FortiGate unit is placed on a stable
surface or install in a standard 19 inch rack.
• Connect the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable into the Console port on the unit. Insert the
other end into the management computer.
• Insert the ethernet cable into a port. Insert the other end to the router connected to the
Internet.
• Connect the AC power cable to the power supplies.
• Connect the AC power cords to a surge protected power bar or power supply.
Caution: Do not force the SFP transceivers into the cage slots. You can damage the con-
nector if handling the SFP transceivers by holding the release Latch. If the transceiver does
not easily slide in and click into place, it may not be aligned correctly or may be upside
down. If this happens, remove the SFP transceiver, realign it or rotate it and slide it in again.
To install the transceivers
1. Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the front panel.
2. Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide the SFP transceiver into the cage socket
until it clicks into place.
FSM Modules
Caution: When installing the FSM module, ensure that the ForTInET and/or "THIS SIDE
UP" labels are orientated upwards when inserting the module into the unit.
To insert the FSM module
1. Insert the module into the FSM slot on the unit with the Fortinet and/or "This Side Up"
labels facing upwards.
2. Close the latch.
