Environment.
Review the following cautions before installing your Fortinet unit.
Caution: Risk of Explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL Listed or CSA
Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.
• Ensure the Fortinet unit is connected and properly grounded to a lightning and surge
protector. WAN or LAN connections that enter the premises from outside the building
should be connected to an Ethernet CAT5 (10/100 Mb/s) surge protector.
• Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cables should be used whenever possible rather
than Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP).
• Do not connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity to avoid damage to the
Fortinet unit or personal injury.
Elevated operating ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Reduced air flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
If required to fit into a rack unit, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the Fortinet unit.
Place the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has sufficient
clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
