FortiGate 40F desktop firewall

The FortiGate 40F is a desktop network security appliance designed for branch offices and small sites that need consolidated threat protection and SD-WAN capability. It provides five Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, with four configured as internal switch ports and one as a dedicated WAN uplink. The unit ships new and is managed through the Fortinet Security Fabric platform.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous traffic the appliance delivers IPv4 firewall throughput of 5 Gbps across 1518, 512 and 64 byte UDP frames, with a packet rate of 7.5 Mpps and latency of 2.97 µs. Threat protection throughput reaches 5 600 Mbps while NGFW throughput holds at 4 800 Mbps, and the system maintains 700 000 concurrent TCP sessions with 35 000 new sessions per second. Maximum power draw stays at 9.46 W from the external DC adapter.

Pre-deployment checks

Verify that your rack or desktop space accommodates the 1.5 x 8.5 x 6.3 inch chassis and 2.2 lb weight. Confirm the external power adapter can connect to a 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz supply. Ensure your FortiGuard subscription covers the security services you plan to activate and that the five RJ45 ports match your WAN and LAN cabling plan.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 9.46 W maximum power draw add to a rack running 24/7?

The unit tops out at 9.46 W, so its thermal contribution is modest; a standard desktop footprint of 1.5 × 8.5 × 6.3 inches fits easily in passive airflow without extra cooling.

Which external power adapter must I already have for the FG40F to operate?

It ships with a 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz external DC adapter, so only a local mains socket is required — no PoE injector or separate PSU needed.

Can the five GE RJ45 ports link directly to my older 100 Mbps switches without negotiation issues?

Yes, the 5× GE RJ45 interfaces auto-negotiate down to 10/100 Mbps, so legacy switches connect transparently while the appliance maintains 700 000 concurrent sessions and 7.5 Mpps throughput.
