SIM Slots – FGR-70F-3G4G
NOTE: Refer to the Admin guide on docs.fortinet.com for wireless WAN configuration information
NOTE: SIM1 is primary, SIM2 is secondary
Dimensions
The FGR-70F and FGR-70F-3G4G share the same chassis dimensions. 
For the FGR-70F-3G4G, the antenna dimensions are shown below.
DIN Installation
The FGR-70F Series mounts on the side or rear of the device using the provided screws.
- Secure the bracket to the device

- Mount the device to the rail

Power Installation
Warnings
- The dual redundant DC input supports negative ground (+12V to +125V DC) and positive ground (-12V to -125V DC)
- DC1+ and DC2+ are the high voltage potential pins and DC1- and DC2- are the lower voltage potential pins
- Do not connect DC+ terminal to a lower voltage potential than DC- terminal
- The voltage between a DC+ and DC- must be +12V to +125V DC
- Consult a professional electrician to install the device and determine a suitable wire gauge and length
- The DC terminal block wire gauge maximum is 12 AWG; the minimum is 30 AWG
- Optional but recommended, connect earth ground using the lug plate or grounding screw
- Connect DC1+ or DC2+ on the device terminal block to the DC power source, then connect the negative DC1- or DC2- on the terminal block

- Optional – Secure the earth ground terminal of the device to chassis ground or earth ground

- Insert the wired power connector into the terminal block on the device

OPTIONAL: The FGR-70F Series has optional dual DC inputs for failover redundancy. If a DC input fails, the second input will supply power.
Digital I/O Connector
Refer to the Admin Guide for configuration settings.

BIOS Options
The FortiGateRugged 70F provides an option in the BIOS menu to set the CPU speed from high-performance mode (default) to low power mode.
When prompted during bootup, press any key to enter the BIOS
- Type F to set the CPU frequency, then follow the onscreen instructions
- Press Q twice to exit and continue the bootup process

Safety
Warning: Equipment intended for installation in Restricted Access Location.
Grounding — To prevent damage to your equipment, connections that enter from outside the building should pass through a lightning / surge protector, and be properly grounded. Use an electrostatic discharge workstation (ESD) and/or wear an anti-static wrist strap while you work. In addition to the grounding terminal of the plug, on the back panel, there is another, separate terminal for earthing.
This product has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the back of the product in addition to the grounding terminal of the attachment plug. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth with a green with yellow stripe conductor minimum size # 14 AWG and the connection is to be installed by a qualified service personnel.
