Place the unit on a stable surface, or mounted on a standard 19-inch rack unit.
The FortiGate-224B requires 1U of vertical space on the rack.

Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
The FortiGate-224B unit runs in NAT/Route mode only. In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network
that it is connected to.
In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall as well as a 24 port switch. Firewall policies
control communications through the FortiGate unit.
No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can
operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before
IP packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control traffic, and how to configure HA, antivirus
protection, FortiGuard, Web content filtering, Spam filtering, intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking
(VPN).
