operation of the FortiGate unit is not compromised.
• For free-standing installation, make sure the FortiGate unit has at least 1.5 in.
(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
• If you install the FortiGate unit in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed
the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
For rack installation, make sure the mechanical loading of the FortiGate unit is
evenly distributed to avoid a hazardous condition.
The FortiGate unit does not have an on/off switch.
