FortiGate-7000Fchassis
TheFortiGate-7121Fisa16U19-inchrackmount12-slotchassiswitha1Tbpsfabricbackplaneand50Gbpsbase
backplanedesignedbyFortinet.Thefabricbackplaneprovidesnetworkdatacommunicationamongchassisslotsand

FortiGate-7000F front panel
TheFortiGate-7000FchassisismanagedbytworedundantSystemManagementModules(SMMs1and2).EachSMM
includesanethernetconnectionaswellastwoswitchableconsoleportsthatprovideconsoleconnectionstothe

Cooling fans, cooling air flow, and minimum clearance
TheFortiGate-7000Fchassiscontainssixhotswappablecoolingfantraysinstalledinthebackofthechassis.Eachfan
trayincludestwofansthatoperatetogether.WhenthefantrayLEDisgreen,bothfansareoperatingnormally.IftheLED
turnsredorgoesoff,oneorbothofthefansisnotworkingandthefantrayshouldbereplaced.
Duringnormalchassisoperation,allsixfantraysareactiveandthefanspeediscontrolledbytheactiveSMM.Ifasingle
fantrayfails,theSMMsendsawarningmessageandtheSMMfrontpanelfanLEDsindicatethatafantrayhasfailed.
TheSMMmaintainssufficientcoolingbyrunningthestilloperatingfansatfullspeedtomakeuptheairflowlosscaused
bythefailedfantray.Thefailedfantrayshouldbereplacedassoonaspossible.
Ifasecondfantrayfails,thechassiscancontinuetooperatebutthechassismayexperiencehightemperature
warnings.Maintainingalowerambienttemperaturecanreducethechanceofoverheating.
Fantraysarehotswappable.Youcanreplaceafailedfantraywhilethechassisisoperating.Toreplaceafantray,
unscrewthefourretentionscrewsandusethehandlestopullthefantrayoutofthechassis.
Installareplacementfantraybyslidingitintoplaceintheemptyslotandtighteningtheretentionscrews.Asyouslidethe
newfanintoplaceitwillpowerupandthefantrayLEDwilllight.
Theotherfantrayswillcontinuetooperateandcoolthechassisasafantrayisbeingremovedandreplaced.However
anopenfantrayslotwillresultinlessairflowthroughthechassissodonotdelayinstallingthereplacementfantray.
TheactiveSMMmonitorstheinternaltemperatureofthechassisandadjuststheoperatingspeedofthecoolingfansas
required.Whenthechassisisfirstpoweredon,allcoolingfansrunatfullspeed.OncetheactiveSMMisupandrunning,
itreducescoolingfanspeedstomaintainanoptimumtemperatureinthechassis.IfanSMMisnotavailableorisnot
operatingcorrectly,thefansalwaysoperateatfullspeed.
Duringnormaloperation,allfantraysareactive.Ifcoolingrequirementsincrease,thefanspeedwillincrease.

Optional air filter
YoucanpurchaseanoptionalNEBScompliantairfilterkitthatincludesafrontfilterthatfitsoverthefrontofthechassis.
Thisfilterisnotrequiredfornormaloperationbutcanbeaddedifyourequireairfiltration.
Theairfiltersshouldbeinspectedregularly.Ifdirtyordamaged,thefiltersshouldbedisposedofandreplaced.Theair

AC PSUs and supplying AC power to the chassis
TheFortiGate-7000Fchassisfrontpanelcanincludeuptoeighthotswappable200-240V,10AACPSUs.Thecapacity
ofeachPSUis1800W(90%offullcapacityof2000W).SeeFortiGate-7000Fbackpanelonpage9forlocationsofthe
PSUs.
ThenumberofPSUsrequiredbyachassisdependsonthenumberofFIMsandFPMsinthechassis.Forexample,a
FortiGate-7000FchassiscontainingtwoFIMsandsixFPMsrequiresfourPSUstoprovideatotalof7200W.Achassis
containingtwoFIMsandtenFPMsrequiressixPSUstoprovideatotalof10800W.YoucanaddextraPSUstoprovide
redundancy.SeePowerconsumptionfordifferentFortiGate-7000Fconfigurationsonpage17.
IfthechassisdoesnothaveenoughpowerbecausePSUshavefailedorbecomedisconnected,theactiveSMMwill
beginshuttingdownFPMsstartingatthehighestslotnumber.
AllPSUsshouldbeconnectedtoACpower.ToimproveredundancyyoucanconnecteachPSU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.
