Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to AC power using the
FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
If data center DC power is not available, you can use the FortiGate-5053 power converter
tray with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies (shown in Figure 8) to convert AC power to
DC power. The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and the power supplies are not
supplied with the FortiGate-5050 chassis and must be purchased separately. (FortiGate-
5020/5050 power supplies are also used to provide power to a FortiGate-5020 chassis.)
This section contains the following information about the FortiGate-5050 chassis and the
