Mounting

The FortiGate-800/800F unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. It requires 1 
U of vertical space in the rack.

The FortiGate-800/800F unit can also be installed as a free-standing appliance on any 
stable surface. 

Dimensions

• 16.75 x 12 x 1.75 in. (42.7 x 30.5 x 4.5 cm)

Weight

• 10 lb. (4.5 kg)

Power requirements

• Power dissipation: 300 W (max)
• AC input voltage: 100 to 240 VAC
• AC input current: 6 A
• Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
• The FortiGate-800/800F unit may overload your supply circuit and impact your 

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use appropriate equipment nameplate 
ratings to address this concern. 

• Make sure that the FortiGate-800/800F unit has reliable grounding. Fortinet 

recommends direct connections to the branch circuit.

Environmental specifications

• Operating temperature: 41 to 95°F (5 to 35°C)
• Storage temperature: -4 to 176°F (-20 to 80°C)
• Humidity: 10 to 90% non-condensing
• If you install the FortiGate-800/800F 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.

Air flow

• For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe 

operation of the FortiGate unit is not compromised.

• For free-standing installation, make sure that the FortiGate unit has at least 1.5 in. 

(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.

Mechanical loading

• For rack installation, make sure the mechanical loading of the FortiGate unit is 

evenly distributed to avoid a hazardous condition.
