Hi Henrik,

I believe this will need to be discussed with your field SE for specifics as they may have to inquire about particular models internally.

Normally though for a regular Fortigate-60F the power-supply included is the one you should use. Only the Fortigate-Rugged 60F is designed with the intent for customers to supply their own DC input.

From a cursory glance internally where I can see comments specifying this for a few models the usual tolerances are ±10% , so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here as well , but this shouldn't be treated as confirmation.
