Surface-mount installation

1. Make sure that the surface onto which the FortiGate-6000F is to be installed is clean, level, and stable and that
there is at least 100 mm of front and back clearance to allow for adequate cooling air flow.
2. Attach the six provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiGate-6000F.
3. Place the FortiGate-6000F in the designated location.
4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiGate-6000F conforms to requirements and that the FortiGate-6000F is
level.

Installing QSFP28, SFP28, SFP+, and SFP transceivers

You must install QSFP28 or QSFP+ transceivers into the 25 to 28 interfaces before connecting them to 100Gbps or
40Gbps networks.
