DC PSUs and supplying DC power to a FortiGate 6000F

The DC version of the FortiGate 6000F includes two hot swappable -48 to -60 VDC, 50A max DC PSUs. Each PSU has
an internal 60A/170VDC fast blow fuse on the DC line input.
Only one PSU must be connected to power. The second PSU is a backup PSU that provides 1+1 redundancy. See
FortiGate 6000F series back panel on page 14
version replaces the AC PSUs with two DC PSUs in slots PSU1 and PSU2. PSU3 is covered by a metal panel.
Recommended fully redundant configuration:
Two FortiGate 6000Fs in a High Availability (HA) configuration with two power feeds (A and B). FortiGate 6000F
l
supports HA with two and only two FortiGate 6000Fs.
On both FortiGate 6000Fs, connect each PSU to a different power feed.

For normal operation of a single FortiGate 6000F, only one DC PSU must be operating and connected to power. If only
one DC PSU is operating, all components and all FPCs continue to operate normally. However, to maintain redundancy,
you should replace a failed DC PSU.
Each DC PSU is designed to be installed in a Telecom data center or similar location that has available -48VDC power
fed from a listed 50A circuit breaker. To improve redundancy you can connect each PSU to a separate power circuit.
