Turning on FortiGate-5144C chassis power
If you are using a power supply shelf, connect the power supply shelf to AC power and verify that it is operating correctly.
If you are using local DC power, turn on the power to the chassis according to the requirements of your local DC power
system.
Once the FortiGate-5144C chassis is connected to DC power the chassis powers up. If the chassis is operating
correctly, the LEDs on the connected PEM(s) and fans should be lit. As well, the LEDs on the FortiGate-5144C shelf
manager and shelf alarm modules should be lit.
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating.
In addition, if any FortiGate-5000 series boards have been installed in the chassis they should power on and their front
panel LEDs should indicate that they are starting up and operating normally.
