AC PSUs and supplying AC power to the chassis

The FortiGate-7030E chassis back panel includes three hot swappable AC or DC power supply units (PSUs). At least two PSUs (PWR1 and PWR2) must be connected to power. PWR4 is a backup power supply and provides 2+1 redundancy. You can add a fourth power supply to PWR3 to provide a second backup power supply and 2+2 redundancy. See FortiGate-7030E back panel for locations of the PSUs.

All PSUs should be connected to AC power. To improve redundancy you can connect each power supply to a separate power source.

Use a C15 Power cable, supplied with the chassis, to connect power to each PSU C16 power connector. C15/C16 power connectors are used for high temperature environments and are rated up to 120°C.

The PSU LED indicates whether the PSU is operating correctly and connected to power. If this LED is not lit check to make sure the PSU is connected to power. If the power connection is good then the PSU has failed and should be replaced.
