1 Introduction 1.1 Scope This document describes the process of installing the FortiSwitch-1000 unit, up to and including the configuration of the management IP address and default gateway. Additional information regarding FortiSwitch-1000 can be found in the following documents: FortiSwitch-1000 Configuration Guide Configuration procedures for the FortiSwitch-1000 unit FortiSwitch-1000 CLI Reference Full description of the FortiSwitch-1000 CLI commands 1.2 Audience...
Many Fortinet publications are available on the Fortinet Tools and Documentation CD shipped with your Fortinet product. The documents on this CD are current at shipping time. For current versions of Fortinet documentation, visit the Fortinet Technical Documentation web site, http://docs.fortinet.com.
2 Switch Overview 2.1 Front of Chassis Fully loaded FortiSwitch-1000 chassis with dual management cards and a combination of XFP line cards and CX4 line cards. – 8 –...
2.2 Back of Chassis The back of the FortiSwitch-1000 with the full complement of six power supplies installed. Note orientation of fan trays and power supplies. The three power supplies on the left are installed with the release lever side down; the three power supplies on the right are installed with the release lever side up.
2.3 Management Card Management Network Port: Ethernet port for out-of-band management of the switch. To configure the switch via the management network port, an IP address must be configured on the port by accessing the switch through the serial port or connecting the switch to a network with a DHCP server.
2.4 Line Card (CX4) FS-10G12-CX4 / FS-10G12-CX4-A Line card with CX4 ports; ports can support either powered (active) cables or passive copper cables. “Link up” indicators and link activity indicators are located next to each port. For full description of LED states, see Appendix 1: LED States on page 22. 2.5 Line Card (XFP) FS-10G12-XFP / FS-10G12-XFP-A Line card with XFP optical ports, optical transceivers installed;...
2.6 Fan Tray FS-1000-FANTRAY Fan tray, showing release tab and handle for use in removing fan tray in case of a fan failure. For full description of LED states, see Appendix 1: LED States on page 22. – 12 –...
2.7 Power Supply FS-1000-PWR850 850 watt power supply unit, showing release tab and handle for use in removing power supply in case of a failure requiring unit replacement (indicated by a solid amber light). For full description of LED states, see Appendix 1: LED States on page 22. To remove power supply unit, press the green release tab toward the center of the unit, then pull on the black handle.
Rack assembly must be configured to avoid blockage of intake and exhaust registers; a minimum of 6 inches of clearance is required from the front and rear of the FortiSwitch-1000 to ensure adequate air flow through the system.
Each power supply shipped with the FortiSwitch-1000 provides a maximum of 850 W DC power. To calculate the power draw and circuit breaker requirements for the switch as a whole, limit the AC current per power supply to 8A for 100-180VAC and 5A for 200-240VAC.
4.1.1 Prepare Rack The packing crate in which the FortiSwitch-1000 is shipped is the safest place to store the switch while preparing for installation. Ensure that chassis supports or shelving are properly installed and secured before removing the switch from its crate; if third party or aftermarket shelving is unavailable, Fortinet recommends use of the support brackets included in the shipping crate.
CAUTION: There are sharp metal components inside the chassis; be sure to wear adequate hand protection and grip carefully. A fully-loaded switch weighs over 188 lbs.; Fortinet recommends removing components as needed to reduce weight before lifting and using a minimum of four people to manually lift the switch.
5 Configuring the IP Address and Default Gateway In order to configure or otherwise manage the FortiSwitch-1000 without the use of a console directly attached to the serial console port, an IP address must first be configured on the management card of the switch to allow access via telnet or SSH session.
5.2.2 DHCP vs. Static IP Addressing The FortiSwitch-1000 is configured to seek an IP address via DHCP by default, but a static IP address can also easily be manually configured on the switch. If the network administrator wishes to always access the switch by a consistent IP address, in switches with dual management cards Fortinet recommends manually configuring the same static management IP address on both cards.
configuring inband management can be found in the CLI Command Reference Guide under in section 4.2.16 (“mgmt-ip inband”). 5.3.2.1 Logging in to the Switch The switch is factory configured with a single administrator-level login account. To log in to the switch for the first time with administrative privileges: 1.

A minimum of 6 inches of clearance is required from the front and rear of the FortiSwitch-1000 to ensure adequate air flow through system. 8.3.2 Mechanical Mounting of the FortiSwitch-1000 in the rack assembly should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. – 28 –...
Adjustments/settings, maintenance, operational parameters and procedures other than those specified and allowed herein and on the rating plate of the FortiSwitch-1000 may result in increased eye hazard. Do not attempt to perform any repair or maintenance on optical communications components.
Guidelines The following guidelines are designed to help ensure the safety of the people working on or around the FortiSwitch-1000 (such as technicians or installers) and are also designed to protect the routing equipment. Installation of the FortiSwitch-1000 should be performed only by a qualified technician.
