Just an FYI to fellow partners and customers, there is no USB management port on the FortiGate 60E--we're back to serial only for out-of-band console access. Oh, and they also don't bother to include a serial console cable in the box, which seems like a real oversight to me. I suggest dusting off your old console cable and serial-to-USB adapter now and throwing both back in your bag so you aren't caught a customer site with a brand new 60E that won't boot and with no way to console into it.
According to Wikipedia, the RS-232 standard was first introduced in 1962--before anyone knew who the Beatles were.
