This section provides some basic information for determining how many
FortiGate-5053 power converter trays and FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies
that you need, depending on the power requirements of your FortiGate-5050
chassis. This section provides guidelines only. Actual requirements may vary
depending on your installation requirements. Contact Fortinet Technical Support if
you need more information.
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.
The maximum power output for a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray with
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies is 1600W; which can be achieved with two
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies. If you need 1600W of power and power
supply redundancy, you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
Individual power requirements vary. If 800W is enough power and redundancy is
not required, you need one FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and one
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
If 800W is sufficient but a redundant power supply is required, you can add a
second FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply. This second power supply will also
cover power requirements between 800 and 1600W. If you require redundant
power greater than 800W you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
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.
Note: If your will not be filling all of the FortiGate-5050 slots you may not need both
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.
