Connect two red RTN power wires from your location’s RTN terminal to the
connectors on the FortiGate-5140B PEM l (the connectors on the left side of
the PEM) using the double-hole lug (see
).
Install each double-hole lug vertically. Do not apply torque of more than 3.8 Nm (33.62
lbf.in).
6
Install previously removed nuts and washers to secure the connectors.
7
Cover the connectors with rubber boots.
8
Make sure the power wires are secured using tie wraps if required.

If required, label the black wires -48V.
10
If required, label the red wires RTN.
Connecting the FortiGate-5140B chassis to ground
The FortiGate-5140B chassis includes a ground terminal on the lower right side of the
FortiGate-5140B back panel (see
). The ground terminal provides two
connectors to be used with a double-holed lug such as Thomas & Betts PN 256-30695-
1225. This connector must be connected to a local ground connection.
You need the following equipment to connect the FortiGate-5140B chassis to ground:
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
•
One green AWG-6 stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug with
insulating boot suitable for minimum 6 AWG copper wire, such as Thomas & Betts PN
256-30695-1225.

To connect the FortiGate-5140B chassis to 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
Make sure that the chassis and ground wire are not energized.
3
Connect the green ground wire from the local ground to the ground connector on the
FortiGate-5140B chassis (see
4
Secure the ground wire to the chassis.
5
Optionally label the wire GND.
