FortiGate 6000F Series 7.0.12 System Guide
FortiGate 6000Fs must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or
work with FortiGate 6000Fs at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic
discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FortiGate 6000Fs.
Handling the transceivers by holding the release latch can damage the connector. Do not force
transceivers into their cage slots. If the transceiver does not easily slide in and click into place,
it may not be aligned correctly. If this happens, remove the transceiver, realign it and slide it in
again.
