OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 401E-DC is for

The FortiGate 401E-DC is the DC-powered, SSD-equipped member of the FortiGate 400E family, built for telco central offices, co-location and data-center rows that run on -48V DC. It pairs 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 16 GE SFP slots with Fortinet's NP6 and CP9 SPUs to deliver 7.8 Gbps IPS, 6 Gbps NGFW, 5 Gbps of threat protection, 32 Gbps firewall throughput and 4 million concurrent sessions, and adds two 240 GB onboard SSDs for local logging. It runs FortiOS with built-in SD-WAN and ZTNA enforcement.

The 400E generation reached end of order, but the FortiGate 401E-DC is still in stock, brand new, and fully supported — FortiGuard, FortiCare and RMA renewals run through 2030. When you are ready to move to the current generation, the FortiGate 400F is the direct successor with roughly 2.5x the firewall throughput. See the lineup below.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the FortiGate 401E-DC compares to the 200E and 400F

The FortiGate 401E-DC sits in the upper-mid range of the FortiGate E-series. Step down to the 200E for smaller sites, or move to the current-generation FortiGate 400F for roughly 2.5x the firewall throughput and higher session capacity. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

FAQ

FortiGate 401E-DC - frequently asked questions

Yes. The FortiGate 400E generation reached end of order, but the FortiGate 401E-DC (FG-401E-DC) is still in stock, brand new, and fully supported. FortiGuard, FortiCare and RMA renewals run through 2030. For the current generation, the FortiGate 400F is the direct successor.

All three share the same NP6 + CP9 platform and 400E-class performance. The 401E-DC runs on -48V to -60V DC power (SP-FG300E-DC-PS) for telco and data-center plant and includes two 240 GB onboard SSDs for local logging. The 401E has the same SSDs on AC power; the 400E has no onboard storage and AC power.

It delivers 32 Gbps firewall throughput, 7.8 Gbps IPS, 6 Gbps NGFW, 5 Gbps threat protection and 4.8 Gbps SSL inspection, with 4 million concurrent sessions and 450,000 new sessions per second, on Fortinet’s NP6 and CP9 SPUs.

The 400E line is end-of-order but remains fully serviceable: FortiGuard security subscriptions, FortiCare support and Secure RMA can be renewed through to end of support in 2030. We can quote any remaining term, or scope a migration to the FortiGate 400F.
