Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for selecting Fortinet products for your network protection.
FortiScan is a managed security service provider (MSSP)- and enterprise-level IT security
solution. It empowers you to protect your many network hosts from known vulnerabilities
and exploits, and to achieve compliance with many regimes, including:
•PCI DSS
•SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley)
•HIPAA
•FDCC
•USGCB
FortiScan physical or virtual network appliances, together with FortiScan agents, help you
to efficiently address the ever-increasing number of computer security threats. FortiScan
network appliances provide ready-to-deploy fixes and enforcement actions, which can
change host configurations to mitigate weak settings and patch applications. This frees
your time to focus on zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits, before vendor-provided
patches or fixes are available.
FortiScan network appliances can scan your network for vulnerabilities and compliance
exposures, prioritizing hosts by risk.
Scope
This document will assist you in physically installing the FortiScan appliance, such as
assembling the hardware and mounting the appliance in a rack.
It does not cover configuring the FortiScan software, nor does it cover deploying the non-
hardware, virtual machine (FortiScan-VM) version of the appliance. For those, see the
FortiScan Administration Guide and FortiScan-VM Install Guide.
Conventions
This document uses the conventions described below.

IP addresses
To avoid publication of public IP addresses that belong to Fortinet or any other
organization, the IP addresses used in Fortinet technical documentation are fictional and
follow the documentation guidelines specific to Fortinet. The addresses used are from the
private IP address ranges defined in RFC 1918: Address Allocation for Private Internets,
available at:
http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt?number-1918
For example, even though a real network’s Internet-facing IP address would be routable
on the public Internet, in this document’s examples, it would be shown as a non-Internet-
routable IP such as 10.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1, or 172.16.0.1.
Cautions, notes, & tips

Mounting the hardware
This section describes mounting FortiScan hardware and supplying power.
Cautions & warnings
Please review the following cautions before installing your FortiScan appliance.
Battery disposal
There is a risk of explosion if the battery on the main board is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions.
Restricted access location
The FortiScan appliance is intended for installation in a restricted access location.
Grounding
•Ensure the FortiScan appliance is connected and properly grounded to a lightning
and surge protector. WAN or LAN connections that enter the premises from outside
the building should be connected through a surge protector.
•Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cables should be used whenever possible
rather than Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP).
•Do not connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity to avoid damage to the
FortiScan appliance or personal injury.
Rack mounting
• Elevated Operating Ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-appliance rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given

Hardware Install Guide for FortiScan 7
http://docs.fortinet.com/ • Document feedback
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect 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.
• 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).
If required to fit into a rack appliance, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the
FortiScan appliance.
Environmental specifications
• Operating temperature — 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C)
If you install the FortiScan appliance in a closed or multi-appliance rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Therefore, make sure to install the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature.
• Storage temperature — -13 to 158°F (-25 to 70°C)
• Humidity — 5 to 90% non-condensing
•Airflow— For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
For free-standing installation, make sure that the FortiScan appliance has sufficient
clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
Mounting the FortiScan appliance
Mounting hardware varies by model.

Hardware Install Guide for FortiScan 8

FortiScan-1000C
The FortiScan-1000C comes with a sliding rail kit. Locate the components for the rail kit
assembly:
•Two sliding rail assemblies
•Two chassis rail members
•Two Velcro straps
•Two cable management arm (CMA) attachment brackets
Use the instructions below to install the rails on racks with square or round holes.
To install in square-hole racks
1Position the left and right rail end pieces of the rail module labeled FRONT facing
inward.
Caution: Before installing the FortiScan unit in a rack, install front and side
stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other
racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing FortiScan in a rack
could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain
circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing
components in the rack.
After installing FortiScan components in a rack, never pull more than one
component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more
than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in
serious injury.
Caution: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
a minimum of two people should be used to perform this task.
•Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers
for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
•Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
•Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component
from the rack.
•Use caution when pressing the component rail release latchesand sliding a
component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
•Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack.
•Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
•Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other
components in a rack.

2Seat each end piece in the front holes of the vertical rack flanges (1).
3Align each end piece to seat the pegs in the top and bottoms holes of the first U (2).
4Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack flange and the
second “tooth” on the latch locks in place. Repeat these steps to position and seat the
front end piece on the vertical flange (3).
