FortiGate 60D power supply construction

[dziabi]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum so first of all hello to everyone.

I've just bought a FortiGate D60 PoE with no power supply. There is a 2-pin molex connector for 12V DC but I need to know which one should be +12V and which goes to ground as I'm planning to make the power adapter myself.

If any of you would be so kind to check it for me in your power plugs...

Thanks in advance.

Martin.

Did you ever find out ? Kinda in the same boat

Yep, I did. Just take a multimeter, set it on 'continuity test' and touch one probe to the firewall casing metal part (e.g. a screw) and check the molex connector with the other probe. The connector which beeps is your ground. ;)

You, sir, are 100% correct, I also found another source that said the square is negative and the one with the 45-degree angle is positive, your method helped to prove that post was also correct. I hope this helps someone in the future. It should be the same for the Fortigate 61e and others. Thank you
