Connecting generation 2 FortiGate-6000F PSUs to high line AC power
If you connect a generation 2 FortiGate-6000F to high-line AC power, each PSU provides 2000W AC, which is all the
power required by the FortiGate-6000F. Only two PSUs (PSU1 and PSU2) each connected to separate power feeds, are
required for full 1+1 power redundancy. PSU3 may also be connected if you have three separate power feeds and
provides 1+1+1 redundancy. To maintain redundancy, you should replace any failed PSUs.
See
FortiGate-6000F back panel on page 13
for locations of the PSUs.
Recommended fully redundant configuration when connected to high-line AC power:
l
Two FortiGate-6000Fs in a High Availability (HA) configuration connected to two power feeds.
l
On both FortiGate-6000Fs, connect PSU1 and PSU2 to different power feeds.
