Cautions and warnings
Review the following cautions before installing your FortiMail unit.
Grounding
• Ensure the FortiMail unit 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 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
FortiMail 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).
