FortiAnalyzer 800F Installation Guide

The FortiAnalyzer unit can be mounted in any standard 19 inch rack unit with the provided mounting hardware.

The rack must be stabilized before sliding the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize may cause the rack to tip over. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment. To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, it is recommended that two or more people install the unit into the rack. Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

Rack Precautions

• Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on the jacks.
• For single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• For multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Ensure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Only extend one component at a time; extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

After installing the device into the rack, install the hard disk drives into the device.

Installing the unit into the rack

1. 1. Ensure that the FortiAnalyzer unit is placed on a stable surface prior to rack-mount installation.
   2. Attach the provided inner rails to the sides of the unit using the provided bracket screws.
      
   3. Attach the outer rails to the rack.
      
   4. Align the inner rails with the outer rails and slide the device onto the rails.
      
   5. Slide the release tabs on both sides at the same time, then push the device all the way into the rack.
      
   6. When the unit has been completely pushed into the rack, the release tabs will click into the locked position.
   7. Plug the supplied power cables into the rear of the unit and then into grounded electrical outlets or separate power sources, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or power distribution units (PDU).

If the unit has a redundant power supply, each power cable should be connected to a different power source. In this way, if one power source fails, the other may still be operational and the unit will not lose power.

Installing the unit on a flat surface

1. Ensure that the surface onto which the FortiAnalyzer unit to be installed is clean, level, and stable and that there is at least 1.5in (3.8cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate airflow.
2. Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the FortiAnalyzer unit.
3. Place the unit in the designated location.
4. Verify that the spacing around the FortiAnalyzer unit conforms to requirements and that the unit is level.
5. Plug the supplied power cables into the rear of the unit and then into grounded electrical outlets or separate power sources, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or power distribution units (PDU).
