Mounting the chassis

2

Mounting

Mount the FortiGate-5140 in a standard 19-inch rack. the 

FortiGate-5150 requires either 12U or 14U of vertical space, 

depending on your model.

If you install the FortiGate unit 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 the 

manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.

Do not operate the FortiGate chassis as a free-standing appliance.

Air flow

Air flow is vertical from bottom to top.

For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow 

required for safe operation of the FortiGate unit is not 

compromised.

Mechanical loading

For rack installations, make sure the mechanical loading of the 

FortiGate unit is evenly distributed to avoid a hazardous condition.

Power Supply

Two power connections on the back of the FortiGate-5050 chassis 

supply -48VDC power to the power supplies.

If DC power is not available, you can install the FortiGate-5053 

power converter to convert an AC power supply to DC.

To connect the DC power supply

1. Ensure the power to the chassis if off.
2. Connect the negative (black) wire to the -48dc (Neg) screw 

terminal.

3. Connect the positive (red) wire to the RTN (Pos) screw terminal.

The FortiGate-5140 provides a scalable chassis that can include the following FortiGate modules.

FortiGate-5001 Antivirus Firewall

The FortiGate-5001 Antivirus Firewall is a high capacity module with FortiASIC 
acceleration for real-time content security. The FortiGate-5140 can house up to 
14 FortiGate-5001 Antivirus Firewall modules.

FortiGate-5003 Switch Blade

The FortiGate-5003 Switch Blade provides redundant connections between 
FortiGate-5001 blades on the backplane, and three external Gigabit interfaces. 
Two FortiGate-5003 modules in a chassis enable high-availability failover 
across chassis. The FortiGate-5140 chassis can house up to two 
FortiGate-5003 Switch Blades.

FortiGate-5140SM Shelf Manager

The FortiGate-5140SM is responsible for powering a shelf up or down and 
handling the adding and removal of modules including the switching of 
interconnected resources. It also manages the power distribution and shelf 
status of the FortiGate chassis. The FortiGate-5140 chassis can house up to 
two redundant FortiGate-5140 Shelf Managers.

FortiGate-5053 Power Converte

r

The FortiGate-5053 Power Converter allows for AC power inputs, supports 2 +1
