The FortiGate unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in any standard
19in (48.3cm) rack unit with the provided rack-mount brackets and screws.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment.
To install the FortiGate unit into a rack:
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that
two or more people install the unit into the rack.
1. Ensure that the FortiGate unit is placed on a stable surface prior to rack-mount
installation.
2. Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the unit using the
provided screws.
a. If you are installing the unit into a four-post rack, attach the rack-mount
brackets with the handles aligned with the front of the unit.
b. If you are installing the unit into a two-post rack, attach the rack-mount
brackets with the handles aligned with the middle of the unit.
2. Installation
3. Position the FortiGate unit in the rack. Ensure there is enough room around the
unit to allow for sufficient air flow.
4. Line up the rack-mount bracket holes to the holes on the rack and ensure that the
FortiGate unit is level.
5. Finger tighten four rack-mount screws to attach the unit to the rack.
6. Verify that the spacing around the FortiGate unit conforms to requirements and
that the unit is level, then tighten the rack-mount screws with an appropriate
screwdriver.
7. Using the provided power cables, plug the cables into the rear of the unit and then
into an electrical outlet.
Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be
connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the
other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.
To install the unit on a flat surface:
1. Ensure that the surface onto which the FortiGate unit to be installed is clean, level,
and stable and that there is at least 2in (5.08cm) of clearance on all sides to allow
for adequate airflow.
2. Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiGate unit.
3. Place the unit in the designated location.
4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiGate unit conforms to requirements
and that the unit is level.
5. Using the provided power cables, plug the cables into the rear of the unit and
then into an electrical outlet.
Note: If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be
connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the
other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.
Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

configure the FortiGate unit, depending on your level of comfort with
various interfaces.

from the device list and select Check for New Firmware. FortiExplorer
will also monitor firmware updates for your devices and provide an
alert when one is available.
4. Device Configuration
The FortiGate unit requires some basic configuration to add it to your
network. These basic steps include assigning IP addresses, DNS
settings, and the default gateway. Until these steps are completed
traffic will not flow through the device.
In addition to FortiExplorer, the FortiGate unit can be configured using
the Web-based Manager or the CLI.
This section will step you through both methods of connecting to the
unit. Use whichever method you are most comfortable with.
To Connect to the Web-based Manager:
1. Connect from the management port on the FortiGate unit to a
management computer using the provided Ethernet cable.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same
subnet as the internal interface of the FortiGate unit:
a. Browse to the Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection Properties
> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer
to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiGate unit Web-based Manager, start a
browser of your choice and browse to https://192.168.1.99
(remember to include the “s” in https://).
4. Type admin in the Name field, leave the
Password field blank, and select Login.
You can now proceed with configuring your FortiGate unit.
To Connect to the CLI:
You can configure all FortiGate configuration options from the CLI
using config commands. The CLI also includes get, show, diagnose,
and execute commands for performing various configuration and
monitoring tasks.
1. Connect the FortiGate unit console port to the management
computer using the provided console cable.
2. Start a terminal emulation program on the management computer.
Use the following settings:
• Baud Rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
3. Press Enter on your keyboard to connect to the CLI.
4. Type admin in the Name field, leave the
Password field blank, and press Enter.
You can now proceed with configuring your FortiGate unit.
