Rack mounting
FortiWLC appliances should be installed in a restricted access location
such as a locked data center to ensure their physical security, which is
fundamental to your network security. Mount the appliance in any standard
19 inch (48.3cm) rack with the rack-mount brackets.
In a rack, a FortiWLC-500D occupies 1U (1.77in/4.45 cm).
• 2-post rack: Attach the rack-mount brackets to the middle of each
side of appliance so that its weight is distributed evenly.
• 4-post rack: Attach the rack-mount brackets to the front of each side
of the appliance with anges facing outwards, towards the notches in
the rack.

Installing SFP transceivers
If not already installed, install the SFP/SFP+ transceivers that will be used
to connect your appliance to the network.
Caution: Do not install or remove SFP transceivers while ber-optic cables
are still attached. This can cause damage to the cables, cable connectors,
and optical interfaces. It may also prevent the transceiver from latching
correctly into the socket.
Note: Installing and removing SFP transceivers can shorten their life. Do
not install or remove transceivers more than is necessary.
To install the SFP transceivers
1. On the appliance’s front panel, remove the caps from SFP cage sockets.
2. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the cage socket so that the
extraction lever is level with the socket latch.
Note: SFP cage socket orientation may vary. Ensure that the SFP
transceiver module is correctly oriented.
3. Holding the sides of the SFP transceiver, gently slide it into the cage
socket.
Caution: Do not force SFP transceivers into cage sockets. Force can
cause damage. If the transceiver does not easily slide in and click into
place, it may not be aligned correctly or may be upside down. If this
happens, remove the SFP transceiver, realign or rotate it, and try again.

4
4. Press the transceiver rmly into the cage socket with your thumb until it
clicks, indicating that it is latched.
5. To verify that the transceiver is latched, grasp its sides and try to pull it out
without lowering the extraction lever.
If you can remove the transceiver, it was not latched correctly, and could
become accidentally dislodged. Try again.
To remove the SFP transceivers
1. Disconnect the ber optic cable from the transceiver connector.
2. To prevent dust from entering the optical bores, insert clean plugs.
3. To eject the transceiver, pull the extraction lever out and down.
Tip: Instead of using your nger, try a small at-head screwdriver.
4. Hold the sides of the transceiver and carefully pull it from the cage socket.
5. Replace the cap on the SFP cage socket.
6. Put the removed SFP transceiver into an anti-static bag.

Connecting to FortiWLC
If the appliance has a redundant power supply, connect each power cable
to a dierent power source.
You can congure FortiWLC for your network through a connection to
command line interface (CLI).
IMPORTANT • FortiWLC-500D is supported ONLY from System
Director 8.0-SR1 and later.
• SFP support is not available in the 8.0-SR1
release.
Connect FortiWLC only to your computer until you nish setup. (If you
place FortiWLC in your network before FortiWLC is set up, trac could
be interrupted until setup is complete.) Detailed instructions are in the
System Director User Guide.
One typical, basic network topology is shown below.

7
To connect to the CLI via serial console
Requires: Terminal emulator such as PuTTY, TeraTerm, or a terminal server
1. Using the console cable, connect the appliance console port to your
terminal server or computer.
2. On your computer or terminal server, start the terminal emulator.
Usethesesettings:
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control:None
3. Press Enter on your keyboard to connect to the CLI.

8
Shutting down
Always properly shut down the FortiWLC
appliance’s operating system before unplugging
the appliance. This causes it to nish writing
buered data, and to slow and park the harddisks.
Do not unplug the FortiWLC appliance before
halting the operating system. Failure to shut down
correctly could cause dataloss and hardware
problems.
To power o the appliance via the CLI, use the powero controller CLI
command before unplugging the power.
The command gracefully brings the controller down to a state where power
can safely be removed.

Replacing a PSU
The FortiWLC-500D chassis’rear panel includes two redundant hot swappable
PSUs. At least one PSU must be connected to power; the other power supply
is a backup for 1+1 redundancy.
If the PSU is not operating (dentied from the LED status specied in this
document) even with adequate power supply, then the PSU has failed and
should be replaced. You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the
controller as long as one PSU is connected to power and operating normally.
If the power source is connected to one PSU then a beep sound is emitted. If
the power source is connected to both the PSUs then the beep sound is not
emitted.
Caution: Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a
bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
1. Turn o the power at its source and remove the power cord.
2. Press the release latch towards the handle and slide the PSU unit out of
the chassis.
3. Insert the new replacement PSU into the chassis and gently slide it in
until it locks into place.
4. Connect the power cord to the PSU and to the power supply. Turn on the
power to the PSU.
5. Verify that the PSU status LED is solid green meaning that the PSU is
powered up and operating normally.

Cautions and warnings
Environmental specications
Rack Mount Instructions — The following or similar rack-mount instructions are
included with the installation instructions:
Instructions de montage en rack — Les instructions de montage en rack suivantes
ou similaires sont incluses avec les instructions d’installation:
Elevated Operating Ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specied by the manufacturer.
Température ambiante élevée — S’il est installé dans un rack fermé ou à unités
multiples, la température ambiante de fonctionnement de l’environnement du rack
peut être supérieure à la température ambiante de la pièce. Par conséquent, il est
important d’installer le matériel dans un environnement respectant la température
ambiante maximale (Tma) stipulée par le fabricant.
Reduced Air ow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Ventilation réduite — Installation de l’équipement dans un rack doit être telle que
la quantité de ux d’air nécessaire au bon fonctionnement de l’équipement n’est
pas compromise.
Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Chargement Mécanique — Montage de l’équipement dans le rack doit être telle
qu’une situation dangereuse n’est pas lié à un chargement mécanique inégal.
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the eect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Surtension — Il convient de prendre l’ensemble des précautions nécessaires lors
du branchement de l’équipement au circuit d’alimentation et être particulièrement
attentif aux eets de la suralimentation sur le dispositif assurant une protection
contre les courts-circuits et le câblage. Ainsi, il est recommandé de tenir compte du
numéro d’identication de l’équipement.
Reliable earthing — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Fiabilité de la mise à la terre – Fiabilité de la mise à la terre de l’équipement
monté en rack doit être maintenue. Une attention particulière devrait être accordée
aux connexions d’alimentation autres que les connexions directes au circuit de
dérivation (par exemple de l’utilisation de bandes de puissance).
