Connecting a FortiGate-5140 chassis to data center DC power and data center ground
Connecting a FortiGate-5140 PEM to data center DC power
16
If you are connecting both PEMs the -48VDC and RTN terminals on PEM A and
PEM B must be wired symmetrically. This means that the connections must be the
same to both PEMs.
FortiGate-5140 PEMs are hot-swappable, which means you can remove and
replace a defective PEM while the system is operating (assuming that the
FortiGate-5140 system has both PEMs connected for redundancy). It is not
necessary to notify the software or reset the system power. You can add, remove,
or replace a second PEM without interrupting FortiGate-5140 operation.
This section describes:
•
Connecting a FortiGate-5140 PEM to data center DC power
•
Connecting the FortiGate-5140 chassis to data center ground
The following procedure describes how to connect power to PEM A. You can
repeat this procedure to connect PEM B.
