Air flow

For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the FortiGate-7040E 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.

Inserting FIM and FPM modules

All FortiGate-7040E chassis are shipped with a protective front panel installed in the chassis to protect internal chassis
components. This panel must be removed before you install FIM and FPM modules.
Insert FIM modules into chassis slots 1 and 2. Insert FPM modules into chassis slots 3 and 4.
