Hot swapping an AC PSU

Follow these steps to safely hot swap an AC PSU.

You can hot swap a PSU without affecting performance or interrupting traffic as long as one PSU remains connected to power at all times.

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 and disconnect the power cord.
3. Press the latch towards the handle until the PSU is detached then pull it out of the FortiGate 6000F.
4. Insert a replacement PSU into the FortiGate 6000F and slide it in until it locks into place.
5. Use a supplied C15 power cable to connect power to the PSU C16 power connector.
6. Turn on power to the PSU.
7. Verify that the PSU status LED is solid green meaning that the PSU is powered up and operating normally.
