• A number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
• One green AWG-6 stranded wire with M6 two-hole terminal lug with 45° angle tongue
with a 15.88 mm (5/8“) spacing between hole centers.

To connect the FortiGate-5060 chassis to data center ground
1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
2
Connect the green ground wire from the data center ground to the ground connector on
the FortiGate-5060 chassis (see
).
3
Secure the ground wire to the chassis.
4
Optionally label the wire GND.
Connecting the FortiGate-5060 chassis to AC power using a
FortiGate power converter shelf
If data center DC power is not available, you can use a Fortinet-supplied power converter
shelf with hot swappable power supplies to convert AC power to DC power. FortiGate
power converter shelves and power supplies are not supplied with the FortiGate-5060
chassis and must be purchased separately.
As already mentioned, the FortiGate-5060 chassis ships with two 3-ft. power cables with
AWG-10 stranded wires and ring terminals: Black for -48VDC and red for RTN. These
cables should only be used to connect the FortiGate-5060 PEMs to a FortiGate power
convertor shelf if purchased with your FortiGate-5060 chassis. If the power cable length
needs to be longer than 3 ft., higher gauge wires should be used.
Turning on FortiGate-5060 chassis power
If you are using a power converter shelf, connect the power convertor shelf to AC power
and verify that it is operating correctly.
If you are using data center DC power, turn own the power to the chassis according to the
requirements of your data center DC power system.
Once the FortiGate-5060 chassis is connected to DC power you can turn on power to the
chassis by turning on the switches on the PEMs (see
for location of
the switches on each PEM).
