Figure 2
shows the back of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The FortiGate-5050 chassis
back panel includes two redundant -48V to - 58V DC power input connectors
labelled Input A and Input B. The power input connectors provide redundant DC
power connections for the FortiGate-5050 chassis and distribute DC power to the
fan tray and the FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in the FortiGate-5050
chassis. Each power input connector includes a 24 Amp circuit breaker that also
functions as an on/off switch for the power input connector.
If you require redundant power you should connect both power input connectors
to DC power. If redundant power is not required, you should connect power input
connector A to DC power. When operating, the power input connectors are
covered with clear protection plates.

The back panel includes the FortiGate-5050 chassis ground connector which
must be connected to Data Center ground. Use the power wire fixtures for
securing and managing DC power wires. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also
includes an ESD socket on the back panel.

The back panel also contains 5 backplane slots, which are numbered to
correspond to the front panel slots. The backplane slots are used by some
FortiGate-5000 series modules for various functions. When the FortiGate-5050
chassis is shipped, these slots are covered by backplane slot filler panels.
