FortiGate 6000F series hardware description
Fortinet supplies custom DC power cables that connect to the two-prong power connector on each DC PSU. The
connector clicks into a release tab that secures the cable into place. DC terminal rings on the supplied cable must be
securely and safely fastened to the your data center power supply terminals. The supplied DC power cables are
intended to be used only for in-rack wiring, must be routed away from sharp edges, and must be adequately fixed to
prevent excessive strain on the wires and terminals.

Description
DC power not connected.
The PSU is in standby mode, not supplying power to the chassis.
Normal operation with DC power connected.
Fault condition (PSU shuts down). This can occur if power input or output is out of
the normal operating range, temperature is out of the normal range, or one or
more fans are not operating. This may be caused by a problem with the PSU. This
could also be caused by conditions external to the PSU, for example, if there is a
problem with the power supplied to the PSU or if the PSU has gotten too hot
because of insufficient ventilation.
Warning that power input or output, temperature, or fan operation is close to being
outside of the normal operating range. This may be caused by a problem with the
PSU. This could also be caused by conditions external to the PSU, for example, if
there is a problem with the power supplied to the PSU or if the PSU has gotten too
hot because of insufficient ventilation.
