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.

Turning on FortiGate-7060E chassis power
Connect AC or DC power to PSUs 1, 2, 3, and 4. Once the FortiGate-7060E chassis is connected to power the chassis
powers up. If the chassis is operating correctly, the LEDs on the PSUs and fans should be lit. As well, the LEDs on the
SMMs should be lit.
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating.
In addition, if any modules 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.
