Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
Place the unit on a stable surface.
Connect both power cables into the back of the FortiGate unit, then plug the power
cables into a power bar.
MAIN MENU appears when the unit is up and running.
If only one power supply is connected, an audible alarm sounds to indicate a failed
power supply. To stop this alarm, press the red alarm cancel button.

Before beginning to congure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your conguration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode. Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control trafc, and how to congure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard,
Web content ltering, Spam ltering, intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All
of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface connected to a network must be
congured with an IP address that is valid for that network.
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway
between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit.
No trafc can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add rewall policies.
In NAT/Route mode, rewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT
mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to
the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to congure a management IP address so that you can make
conguration changes.
You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind
an existing rewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. No trafc can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add re-
wall policies.
You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control trafc between
these network segments.
