Installation
The FortiManager unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in any
standard 19 inch (48.3 cm) rack unit with the provided rack-mount brackets and
screws.
Please read the Cautions and Warnings section prior to installing your device.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment.
Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
To install the FortiManager unit into a rack:
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that
two or more people install the unit into the rack.
1. Ensure that the FortiManager unit is placed on a stable surface prior to rack-
mount installation.
2. Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the unit using the
provided screws.
a. If you are installing the unit into a four-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets
with the handles aligned with the front of the unit.
b. If you are installing the unit into a two-post rack, attach the rack-mount brackets
with the handles aligned with the middle of the unit.

3. Position the FortiManager unit in the rack. Ensure there is enough room around
the unit to allow for sufficient air flow.
4. Line up the rack-mount bracket holes to the holes on the rack and ensure that the
FortiManager unit is level.
5. Finger tighten four rack-mount screws to attach the unit to the rack.
6. Verify that the spacing around the FortiManager unit conforms to requirements
and that the unit is level, then tighten the rack-mount screws with an appropriate
screwdriver.
7. Using the provided power cables, plug the cables into the rear of the unit, and
then into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be
connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the
other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.
To install the unit on a flat surface:
1. Ensure that the surface onto which the FortiManager unit to be installed is clean,
level, and stable and that there is at least 1.5 inches (3.8cm) of clearance on all
sides to allow for adequate airflow.
2. Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiManager unit.
3. Place the unit in the designated location.
4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiManager unit conforms to requirements
and that the unit is level.
