Power distribution unit (PDU) requirements

Due to the power consumption FortiGate-7081F, Fortinet recommends the following PDU requirements if you are
operating a FortiGate-7081F that contains two FIM-7921F and six FPM-7620Fs.
Two 30A/208V PDUs with no other devices connected to the PSUs. Connect three PSUs to each PDU.
l
One 40A/208V/3ph, 1x PDU required and 3xPSU @ L1/L2, 3xPSU @ L2/L3, 2xPSU @ L1/L3. No extra load on
l
PDU.
120V PDUs are not supported since high power PSUs are not designed to work under low AC line input. Max wattage
and load balancing across PSUs will be compromised if doing so.

Connecting the FortiGate-7081F chassis to ground

The FortiGate-7081F chassis includes a ground connector on the rear the bottom of the FortiGate-7081F back panel.
The ground connector consists of two terminals to be used with a double-holed lug such as Thomas & Betts PN
54850BE. Connect the double-holed lug to the chassis ground connector using the two M5x10 pan-head screws that are
already attached to the ground connector.
You need the following equipment to connect the FortiGate-7081F chassis to ground:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
l
One green 6 AWG stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug suitable for minimum 6 AWG copper wire,
l
such as Thomas & Betts PN 54850BE.
