FortiGate 6000F series hardware generations

FortiGate 6000F series hardware generations

Two generations of FortiGate 6000F series hardware are now available. Both generations support the same software features. Generation 2 has two hardware improvements:

  • The FPCs include more memory.

  • When connected to high-line AC power, generation 2 FortiGate 6000F series models provide 1+1 PSU redundancy. When connected to high-line AC power, each PSU provides 2000W, which is enough power to run the entire system including all FPCs.
