The 400F-DC is the same appliance with dual 48–60V DC power supplies instead of AC, for telco central offices, OT sites, and DC-powered racks. Performance, interfaces, ASICs, and FortiGuard licensing are identical to the AC FortiGate 400F.

What is the difference between the FortiGate 400F-DC and 401F-DC?

Performance is identical — both run on the same NP7 + CP9 platform with DC power. The FortiGate 401F-DC adds 960 GB onboard SSD storage for local logging and reporting. Choose the 400F-DC when on-box storage is not required.

What ASIC does the FortiGate 400F-DC use?

The FortiGate 400F-DC uses Fortinet’s NP7 network processor for firewall and VPN acceleration, and the CP9 content processor for IPS, SSL inspection, and application control. Both ASICs are custom silicon designed by Fortinet.

Does the FortiGate 400F-DC support redundant power?

Yes. The FortiGate 400F-DC ships with dual DC power supplies (48–60V) providing 1+1 redundancy — standard for telco and mission-critical DC-powered deployments.
