FortiGate 6000F series hardware description

Cooling fan trays

The FortiGate 6000F contains three hot swappable cooling fan trays installed in the back of the appliance. When the fan
LED is green the fan tray is operating normally. If a fan tray LED turns red or goes off the fan tray should be replaced.

Fan trays are hot swappable. You can replace a failed fan tray while the FortiGate 6000F is operating. To replace a fan
tray, unscrew the four retention screws and use the handle to pull the fan tray out of the chassis. Install the new fan tray
by sliding it into place. As you slide the new fan into place it will power up. Tighten the retention screws.
The other fan trays will continue to operate and cool the chassis as a fan tray is being removed and replaced. However
an open fan tray slot will result in less air flow through the appliance so do not delay installing the replacement fan tray.
The FortiGate 6000F monitors the internal temperature of the appliance and adjusts the operating speed of the cooling
fans as required. When the device is first powered on all cooling fans run at full speed. Once the system is up and
running, the fan speeds are reduced to maintain an optimum temperature in the appliance.
During normal operation, all fan trays are active. If cooling requirements increase, the fan speed will increase.

FortiGate 6000F AC power supply units (PSUs)

The FortiGate 6000F back panel includes three hot swappable redundant AC PSUs (PSU1, PSU2, and PSU3). Two
generations of FortiGate 6000F models have been released. Generation 1 and generation 2 have different AC PSUs:
Generation 2 FortiGate 6000F PSUs can be connected to high-line AC power (200VAC or higher) and each PSU
l
provides 2000W AC. A generation 2 FortiGate 6000F with two high line power feeds connected to PSU1 and PSU2
is a fully 1+1 redundant solution because a single PSU can fully power a FortiGate 6000F.
Generation 1 FortiGate 6000F PSUs can be connected to low line AC power (120VAC or below) and each PSU
l
provides 1500W AC. Requires at least 2 PSUs to be connected to power. Connecting a third PSU provides 2+1
