Installing the FortiGate unit

Mounting

Mounting

Adhere the rubber feet included in the package to the underside of the FortiWiFi unit, near the corners of the device.

Place the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has at least

1.5inches (3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.

Alternatively, you can use the mounting brackets to mount the FortiWiFi-50B to a wall. To attach the mounting brackets, place the bracket so that the flat portion is away from the FortiWifi, and the bracket is supported by the bracket side bars.

Use the four screws supplied to attach the bracket to the FortiWiFi unit. Repeat for the other bracket. See the illustration below for how the bracket is attached.

To mount to the wall, measure where the holes in the brackets are on the wall, and inser nails or screws. Hang the FortiWiFi on the nails or screws from the brackets.
