Selecting the power supplies and power convertor trays that you need for
your FortiGate-5050 configuration
16
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray contains space for up to three
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies. A FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply
converts AC power to -48 VDC power. Each FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply
provides 800W of power.
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray uses 2 + 1 power supply redundancy.
If three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in a FortiGate-5053
power converter tray, the first two power supplies provide a total of 1600W
(2 x 800W) of power. The third power supply is the redundant backup.
Basic power requirements
To supply enough power for a FortiGate-5050 chassis with a total of five FortiGate
modules and FortiSwitch modules you require one FortiGate-5053 power
converter tray and two FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies (see
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in FortiGate-5053 slots 1 and 2.
This configuration supplies 1600W of power to the FortiGate-5020/5050 chassis.
