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 series back panel for locations of the PSUs.

Recommended fully redundant configuration when connected to high-line AC power:

  • Two FortiGate 6000Fs in a High Availability (HA) configuration connected to two power feeds.
  • On both FortiGate 6000Fs, connect PSU1 and PSU2 to different power feeds.
