FortiGate-5050 back panel
Figure 2 shows the back of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The FortiGate-5050 chassis back
panel includes two redundant -48V to - 58V DC power input connectors labelled Input A
and Input B. The power input connectors provide redundant DC power connections for the
FortiGate-5050 chassis and distribute DC power to the fan tray and the FortiGate-5000
series boards installed in the FortiGate-5050 chassis. Each power input connector
includes a 24 Amp circuit breaker that also functions as an on/off switch for the power
input connector.
If you require redundant power you should connect both power input connectors to DC
power. If redundant power is not required, you should connect power input connector A to
DC power. When operating, the power input connectors are covered with clear protection
plates.
Figure 2: FortiGate-5050 chassis back panel
The back panel includes the FortiGate-5050 chassis ground connector which must be
connected to Data Center ground. Use the power wire fixtures for securing and managing
DC power wires. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes an ESD socket on the back
panel.
For detailed information about connecting power to the FortiGate-5050 chassis, see
“Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power and data center ground”
on page 15 or “Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to AC power using the
FortiGate-5053 power converter tray” on page17.
The back panel also contains 5 RTM slots numbered to correspond to the front panel
slots. The RTM slots are available for FortiGate-5000 RTM modules such as the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. When the FortiGate-5050 chassis is shipped, these slots are
covered by RTM slot filler panels.
