FortiGate-7000F chassis
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the FortiGate-7000F as long as four PSUs
are connected to power and operating normally. If you need to hot swap one of four operating
PSUs, you should do this during a quiet period, because if the FortiGate-7000F is operating
with less that four PSUs, some of the FPMs may be shut down.
1.
Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
2.
Turn off the power being supplied to the power supply and disconnect the power cord.
3.
Press the latch towards the handle until the PSU is detached then pull it out of the chassis.
4.
Insert a replacement PSU into the chassis and slide it in until it locks into place.
5.
Connect the PSU power terminals as described above.
6.
Turn on power to the PSU.
7.
Verify that the PSU status LED is solid green meaning that the PSU is powered up and operating normally.
Connecting the FortiGate-7000F chassis to ground
The FortiGate-7000F chassis includes a ground terminal on the rear the bottom of the FortiGate-7000F back panel. The
ground terminal provides two connectors to be used with a double-holed lug such as Thomas & Betts PN 54850BE. This
connector must be connected to a local ground connection.
You need the following equipment to connect the FortiGate-7000F chassis to ground:
l
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
l
One green 6 AWG stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug suitable for minimum 6 AWG copper wire,
such as Thomas & Betts PN 54850BE.
