Product Review

The Fortinet FG-3960E is equipped with high-capacity hardware-accelerated ports, including six 40/100 GE QSFP+/QSFP28 and sixteen 1/10 GE SFP/SFP+ slots, catering to demanding network environments. However, its substantial power consumption, peaking at 2110W with a heat dissipation of 7200 BTU/h, may raise concerns for energy efficiency and cooling requirements in densely packed data centers. Additionally, the unit's considerable size (8.8" x 17.2" x 27.3") and weight (100.8 lbs) necessitate ample rack space and robust physical infrastructure, but its support for redundant power supplies enhances system reliability.

Overview

The Fortinet FG-3960E is designed to meet the demands of high-performance network environments, offering a comprehensive suite of hardware specifications that ensure optimal functionality and reliability. This product is housed in a rack-mount form factor with dimensions of 8.8 inches in height, 17.2 inches in width, and 27.3 inches in length, translating to 222 x 437 x 695 mm, making it suitable for standardized data center installations. Weighing 100.8 lbs (45.8 kg) and occupying 5 rack units (RU), it is engineered for stability and durability in various operational conditions. Powering the FG-3960E is an AC power supply that operates on 100–240V AC at 50–60 Hz, with an average power consumption of 960W and a maximum consumption of 2110W. The device supports a maximum AC current of 12A at 100V and 10A at 240V. For environments requiring DC power, the FG-3960E supports a DC input range of -40V to -72V DC with a maximum current of 30A per feed, featuring a 2+1 redundancy. The power supply units are hot-swappable and 80Plus compliant, ensuring efficient power usage and reliability. The system's heat dissipation capability stands at 7200 BTU/h, reflecting its robust performance under heavy workloads. Environmental adaptability is a key aspect of the FG-3960E, operating effectively between temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C), and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -31°F (-35°C) to 158°F (70°C). It maintains functionality in humidity levels from 10% to 90% non-condensing, and operates comfortably up to an altitude of 7400 ft (2250 m). Despite its powerful performance, the noise level remains at 63 dBA, a consideration for environments where noise is a concern. Key hardware features include: - Hardware Accelerated 40/100 GE QSFP+/QSFP28 Slots: 6 - Hardware Accelerated 1/10 GE SFP/SFP+ Slots: 16 - Redundant Power Supplies (Hot Swappable): Yes, with a 2+1 redundancy configuration These specifications underline the FG-3960E's capability to handle high-density connections and the flexibility to adapt to a variety of network configurations, supporting both 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet and 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The inclusion of hot-swappable, redundant power supplies ensures uninterrupted operation and minimizes downtime, essential for critical network infrastructure.
