FortiGate 6000F four post rack-mount installation

This section describes how to use the sliding rails included with your FortiGate 6000F package to install the FortiGate
6000F in a 4-post rack.
The FortiGate 6000F is shipped with a left and a right rail assembly. Each rail assembly includes an inner rail, a middle
rail, and an outer rail. The inner rail attaches to the side of the FortiGate 6000F. The middle rail remains attached to the
outer rail which attaches to the rack. The middle rail is used to guide the inner rail into the outer rail.

When mounted on the rails and fully slid into the rack, the FortiGate 6000F locks into place. You can press the system
release buttons that project out of the front of the rack to unlock the rails and slide the FortiGate 6000F out.
No tools are required to install the rails and the FortiGate 6000F. Once the FortiGate 6000F is slid into the rack you can
use a screw driver to install four rack screws to secure the FortiGate 6000F in the rack.
