Installing the FortiGate unit
This section provides information on installing and setting up the FortiGate unit on
your network. This section includes the following topics:
• Mounting
• Powering on the FortiGate unit
• Connecting to the FortiGate unit
Mounting
Adhere the rubber feet included in the package to the underside of the FortiGate
unit, near the corners of the device.
Place the FortiGate unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has at least
1.5 inches (3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for
cooling.
Alternatively, you can use the mounting brackets to mount the FortiGate-60B or
FortiWiFi-60B to a wall. To attach the mounting brackets, place the bracket so that
the flat portion is away from the FortiGate unit, and the bracket is supported by the
bracket side bars. Use the four screws supplied to attach the bracket to the
FortiGate unit. Repeat for the other bracket. See the illustration below for how the
bracket is attached.

To mount to the wall, measure where the holes in the brackets are on the wall,
and inser nails or screws. Hang the FortiGate on the nails or screws from the
brackets.
