Caution:
Electrostatic
discharge (ESD)

has a redundant
power supply,
each power
cable should be

way, if one power
source fails, the
other may still be
operational and
the unit will not
lose power.
The FortiSwitch unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in any standard
19 inch rack unit with the provided rack-mount brackets and screws.
