60F 3G4G Power Supply? How have people done it.

[smohamed]

Hi,

New user here.  We've been asked to start using Fortinet devices, and our first foray into the brand is the 60F-3G4G (selected by our IT dept).  When looking at the power requirements for this device, the device has terminals for a DC power supply. However, I see that Fortinet does not have a standard cable that could be connected here.  I was wondering what others have done in terms of powering these devices up? I'm trying to get these to fit into control panels.  

I was looking at a rack mount (SP-RACKTRAY-02) but then having DC supplies etc. makes it a bit cumbersome and hard to find a mounting location.

Any thoughts or what people have done would be extremely helpful.

Thanks again.

I guess you refer to this connector:

Which comes in the box with the unit, as shown in QuickStart Guide:

(I guess) that is a regular connector that does not have a part number, possibly similar to "molex 50-37-5033". Maybe a micro-electronics store can provide it to you. And that's the challenge here - to find the right part number

Hi AlexC,

Thanks for responding.  Yes, I'm referring to that but also how people typically provide power to this unit.  I guess I'm just looking for some examples.  Are people using a 120VAC to 24VDC power supply and then wiring to this unit? Are people using just a 24VDC source in their cabinet to supply?

We have places where we are using a 19" rack with other server equipment and I'm trying to figure out how to integrate this device within the rack.

Hey smohamed,

- regarding integrating FortiGates such as 60F into a rack, there are rack mount kits available to fit the units into a rack

-> there are also third-party options, from rackmount.it for example

- regarding power supply, I don't have any additional information, sorry
