FortiGate-7060E Chassis
Hot Swapping a DC PSU
Follow these steps to safely hot swap a DC PSU.
You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the FortiGate-7060E as long as three
PSUs are connected to power and operating normally. If you need to hot swap one of
two operating PSUs you must power down the chassis first.
1. Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
2. Turn off the power being supplied to the PSU.
3. Snap off the terminal cover and remove the wires from the PSU terminals.
4. Press the latch towards the handle until the PSU is detached then pull it out of the chassis.
5. Insert a replacement PSU into the chassis and slide it in until it locks into place.
6. Connect the PSU power terminals as described above.
7. Turn on power to the PSU.
8. Verify that the PSU status LED is solid green meaning that the PSU is powered up and operating normally.
Connecting the FortiGate-7060E chassis to ground
The FortiGate-7060E chassis includes a ground terminal on the rear the bottom of the FortiGate-7060E back
panel. The ground terminal provides two connectors to be used with a double-holed lug such as Thomas & Betts
PN 54850BE. This connector must be connected to a local ground connection.
You need the following equipment to connect the FortiGate-7060E chassis to ground:
l
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
l
One green 6 AWG stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug suitable for minimum 6 AWG copper wire,
such as Thomas & Betts PN 54850BE.
