Warnings and cautions
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or maintain
FortiGate-5000 series 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.
• FortiGate-5000 equipment must be protected by a readily accessible disconnect
device or circuit breaker that can be used for product power down emergencies.
• Many FortiGate-5000 components are hot swappable and can be installed or removed
while the power is on. But some of the procedures in this document may require power
to be turned off and completely disconnected. Follow all instructions in the procedures
in this document that describe 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
follow the instructions in this document 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.
• If you install a FortiGate-5000 series component in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating 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.
• This product is only intended for use in a Restricted Access Location.
CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used
Batteries According to the Instructions.
