equipment. Read and comply with all warnings, cautions and notices in this document.

• Turning off all power switches may not turn off all power to the FortiGate-5000 series equipment. Some

circuitry in the FortiGate-5000 series equipment may continue to operate even though all power

switches are off. Follow all instructions in the procedures in this document for disconnecting

FortiGate-5000 series equipment from power sources, telecommunications links and networks before

installing, or removing FortiGate-5000 series components, or performing other maintenance tasks.

Failure to do following these instructions can result in personal injury or equipment damage.

• Install FortiGate-5000 series chassis at the lower positions of a rack to avoid making the rack top-heavy

and unstable.

• Do not insert metal objects or tools into open chassis slots.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiGate-5000 series equipment. Only perform the

procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you

can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap and attaching it to an available

ESD connector such as the ESD sockets provided on FortiGate-5000 series chassis.

• Make sure all FortiGate-5000 series components have reliable grounding. Fortinet recommends direct

connections to the building ground.

ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Make sure the

operating ambient temperature does not exceed Fortinet’s maximum rated ambient temperature.

• Installing FortiGate-5000 series equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required

for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• FortiGate-5000 series chassis should be installed by a qualified electrician.
• FortiGate-5000 series equipment shall be installed and connected to an electrical supply source in

accordance with the applicable codes and regulations for the location in which it is installed. Particular

attention shall be paid to use of correct wire type and size to comply with the applicable codes and

regulations for the installation / location. Connection of the supply wiring to the terminal block on the

equipment may be accomplished using Listed wire compression lugs, for example, Pressure Terminal

Connector made by Ideal Industries Inc. or equivalent which is suitable for AWG 10. Particular attention

shall be given to use of the appropriate compression tool specified by the compression lug

manufacturer, if one is specified.
