Connecting the FortiAnalyzer unit
You can install the FortiAnalyzer unit as a free-standing appliance on any stable
surface. You can also mount the FortiAnalyzer-800, FortiAnalyzer-2000 and
FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A onto a rack unit.
Environmental specifications
• Operating temperature: 41 to 95°F (5 to 35°C)
If you install the FortiAnalyzer unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Therefore, make sure to install the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature.
• Storage temperature: -4 to 176°F (-20 to 80°C)
• Humidity: 10 to 90% non-condensing
Air flow
• For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• For free-standing installation, make sure that the appliance has at least 1.5 in.
(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
Mechanical loading
You can mount the FortiAnalyzer-800, FortiAnalyzer-2000 and
FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A units in a standard 19-inch rack. The FortiAnalyzer-800
requires 1U of vertical space and the FortiAnalyzer-2000 and
FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A requires 2U of vertical space in the rack.
For rack installation, ensure an even mechanical loading of the FortiAnalyzer-800,
FortiAnalyzer-2000 and FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A to avoid a hazardous
condition.
