Warnings and cautions
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or maintain 
FortiGate-5000 series hardware. Read and comply with all warnings, cautions and 
notices in this document.
Turning off all power switches may not turn off all power to the FortiGate unit. 
Disconnect the FortiGate unit from its power source, telecommunications links 
and networks before installing, removing FortiGate components, or performing 
other maintenance tasks. Failure to do this can result in personal injury or 
equipment damage. Some circuitry in the unit may continue to operate even 
though all power switches are off.
Install the FortiGate chassis at the lower positions in the rack to avoid making 
the rack top-heavy and potentially falling over.
Do not insert metal objects or tools in open slots.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiGate hardware. Only perform 
the procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no 
such station is available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an 
anti-static wrist or ankle strap and attaching it to an ESD connector or to a 
metal part of the FortiGate chassis.
Some FortiGate components may overload your supply circuit and impact your 
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use appropriate equipment 
nameplate ratings to address this concern. 
Make sure all FortiGate components have reliable grounding. Fortinet 
recommends direct connections to the branch circuit.
If you install a FortiGate component 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.
About Data Center DC power
The FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis are designed to be installed in a 
Data Center or similar location that has available -48VDC power. Fortinet expects 
that most FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 customers will be installing their 
FortiGate equipment in a data center or similar location that is already equipped 
with a -48VDC power system that provides power to existing networking or 
telecom equipment. The FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis are 
designed to be connected directly to this DC power system.
In this document, Data Center DC power refers to a -48VDC power system that is 
already available at the location at which the FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 
chassis is being installed.
