Connecting a FortiGate-5050 chassis to the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
To use a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray with the FortiGate-5050 chassis you need to make DC power connections between the FortiGate-5050 chassis and the FortiGate- 5053 power converter tray. You also need to the connect the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center ground.
To connect a FortiGate-5050 power input connector to a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
The following procedure describes how to connect one FortiGate-5050 power input connector to a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray. For normal operation, only one power input connector must be connected. For redundant chassis DC power you can connect the second power input connector to a second FortiGate-5053 power converter tray.
You need the following tools and equipment to connect a FortiGate-5020/5050 power input connector to a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray:
•A number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
•An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with connection cord.
•One black AWG-14 stranded wire with terminal lugs attached and labelled -48V.
•One red AWG-14 stranded wire with terminal lugs attached and labelled RTN.
•A FortiGate-5053 power converter tray containing two or three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies and mounted in a rack near the FortiGate-5050 chassis.
Caution: The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray should not be connected to AC power until specified in the following procedure.
1Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
2Loosen the screws and remove the protection plate from the FortiGate-5050 power input connector.
3If required, loosen the screws and remove the clear plastic cover from the back of the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray.
4Insert the black -48V and red RTN wires through the power wire fixture (see Figure 16).
5Connect the black -48V power wire from the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray V- terminal (the right connector) to the terminal on the FortiGate-5050 power input connector labelled (-DC in).
6Connect the red RTN return wire from the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray unmarked connector (the left connector) to the terminal on the FortiGate-5050 power input connector labelled RTN.
