Connecting a FortiGate-5140 chassis to Data Center DC power and Data Center ground

Connect the FortiGate-5140 chassis to Data Center DC power (also called battery
power) using the redundant power entry modules (PEMs). Fortinet supplies and
recommends AWG-14 stranded wires for all power connections. Black for
-48VDC, red for RTN, and green for ground. If required, install terminal lugs on the
wires before connecting them to the PEM terminal strips. If you are connecting
both PEMs the -48VDC and RTN terminals on PEM A and PEM B must be wired
symmetrically.
This section describes:
• Connecting FortiGate-5140 power zones
• Connecting a FortiGate-5140 PEM to Data Center DC power
• Connecting the FortiGate-5140 chassis to Data Center ground
Each FortiGate-5140 PEM includes 4 connectors that connect power to 4 different
power zones in the FortiGate-5140 chassis. Each power zone supplies power to
different FortiGate-5140 slots and cooling fan trays. You can connect the power in
a number of configurations depending on the requirements of a particular
installation.
Power zone 1 provides power to:
• Fan Tray 0 and Fan tray 1
• Slots 9, 11, 13 (see Figure
Power zone 2 provides power to:
• Slots 1, 3, 5, 7 (see Figure
Power zone 3 provides power to:
• Fan tray 2
• Slots 2, 4, 6, and 8 (see
Power zone 4 provides power to:
• Slots 10, 12, 14 (see Figure
• Shelf manager
You can choose to connect power only to the power zones that you require. For
example, if your FortiGate-5140 chassis contains a FortiSwitch-5003 module in
slot 1 and four FortiGate-5001SX modules in slots 2, 3, 4, and 5 you would need
to connect the following power zones:
• Power zone 2 (for slots 1, 3, and 5)
• Power zone 3 (for fan tray 2 and slots 2 and 4)
• Power zone 4 (shelf manager)
This arrangement provides power to all occupied slots and should also provide
enough cooling for this configuration. If you want more or redundant cooling, you
can also connect power zone 1.
