FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf and PSU-5000B power supplies
If DC power is not available at your location, you can use the FortiGate-5053B 1U 19-inch rack mount power supply
shelf with PSU-5000B hot swappable power supplies to convert AC power to DC power. These components are not
supplied with the FortiGate-5144C chassis and must be purchased separately.

In addition to adding multiple FortiGate-5053B power supply shelves for additional power, you can also pair a FortiGate-
5053B with a FortiGate-5053B-LC power supply shelf. The LC unit can also include up to four PSU but does not include
an edge controller. Instead, both FortiGate-5053B power supply shelves are managed by one edge controller.
