Redundant FortiGate-5050 power supplies

You can supply redundant power to a FortiGate-5050 chassis by adding a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply to the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray

(see Figure 13). If one of the FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies in the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails, the third power supply takes its place without a power interruption.

Redundant FortiGate-5053 power converter trays

A single FortiGate-5053 power converter tray is usually only connected to one FortiGate-5050 power input connector. If this power input connector or FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails or is disconnected the FortiGate-5050 chassis will loose power.

You can supply redundant power to the entire FortiGate-5050 chassis by adding a second FortiGate-5053 power converter containing two or three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies and connected this FortiGate-5053 power converter tray to the second FortiGate-5050 power input connector.
