Power connection and configuration

Basic power requirements

To supply enough power for a FortiGate-5140 chassis with a total of 14 FortiGate and FortiSwitch modules you require one FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and two FortiGate-5140 power supplies (see Figure 13). The FortiGate-5140 power supplies are installed in FortiGate-5053 slots 1 and 2. This configuration supplies 2400W of power to the FortiGate-5140 chassis.

Note: If you will not be filling all of the FortiGate-5140 slots you may not need both FortiGate-5140 power supplies.

Redundant FortiGate-5140 power supplies

You can supply redundant power to a FortiGate-5140 chassis by adding a third FortiGate-5140 power supply to the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (see Figure 14). If one of the FortiGate-5140 power supplies in the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails, the third power supply takes its place without a power interruption.
