Connecting the FortiGate-5140 chassis to AC power using the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
Redundant FortiGate-5140 power supplies
You can supply redundant power to a FortiGate-5140 chassis by adding a third
FortiGate-5140 power supply to the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
(see
Figure
8). If one of the FortiGate-5140 power supplies in the FortiGate-5053
power converter tray fails, the third power supply takes its place without a power
interruption.

Redundant FortiGate-5053 power converter trays
A single FortiGate-5053 power converter tray is usually only connected to one
FortiGate-5140 PEM. If this PEM or FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails or is
disconnected the FortiGate-5140 chassis will loose power.
You can supply redundant power to the entire FortiGate-5140 chassis by adding a
second FortiGate-5053 power converter containing two or three FortiGate-5140
power supplies and connected this FortiGate-5053 power converter tray to the
second FortiGate-5140 PEM.
