Cautions and Warnings Installing
Cautions and Warnings
Review the following cautions before installing your FortiDB unit.
Grounding
• Ensure the FortiDB unit is connected and properly grounded to a lightning and
surge protector. LAN connections that enter the premises from outside the
building should be connected to an Ethernet CAT5 (10/100 Mb/s) 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 FortiDB unit or personal injury.
Rack mount instructions
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 temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given 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).
Mounting the FortiDB unit
This section describes how to place or mount your FortiDB unit. The FortiDB unit
can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack unit.
When placing the FortiDB unit on any flat, stable surface, ensure the unit has
adequate clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
For rack mounting, use the mounting brackets and screws included with the
FortiDB unit.

Caution: To avoid personal injury, you may require two or more people to install the
FortiDB unit in the rack.
