FortiGate-7060E hardware assembly and rack mounting

The FortiGate-7060E chassis must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack and requires 8U of vertical space in the rack.
This chapter describes how to attach accessories to the FortiGate-7060E chassis, how to install the chassis in a 4-post
or 2-post rack, and how to install FIM and FPM modules in the chassis front panel slots.
If you install the FortiGate-7060E chassis in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature
does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
It is recommended that you mount the FortiGate-7060E chassis near the bottom of the rack to avoid making the rack
top-heavy and potentially falling over. If you are going to mount the chassis higher make sure the rack is well anchored.
Since the chassis is over 100 lbs use a lift to raise the chassis into position before mounting it.
