The FortiGate 401F-DC is the DC-powered, SSD-equipped member of the FortiGate 400F series. Performance is identical to the AC-powered 401F: 79.5 Gbps of IPv4/IPv6 firewall throughput, 12 Gbps of IPS, 10 Gbps of NGFW and 9 Gbps of threat protection, with 7.8 million concurrent sessions, accelerated by Fortinet's NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor.
Two things set this SKU apart. It takes -48 to -60 VDC instead of mains AC, which is what central offices, carrier facilities and DC-bussed data-center rows supply; and it carries 2x 480 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. If your rack is AC-fed, order the FortiGate 401F instead — the DC unit cannot run from a standard outlet.
Interfaces include 4x 10GE SFP+, 4x 10GE SFP+ ultra-low-latency slots (2.5 µs), 8x GE SFP and 16x hardware-accelerated GE RJ45, with a TPM for secure boot and key storage. FortiOS consolidates NGFW, SD-WAN, SSL inspection, ZTNA and FortiGuard services on one appliance.

Rack-mount the 401F-DC in a standard 1RU slot; confirm your rack supplies -48 to -60 VDC before ordering.
Only the power supply. The 401F-DC takes -48 to -60 VDC; the 401F takes 100-240V AC. Throughput, interfaces, the 2x 480 GB onboard SSD and every FortiOS feature are identical. Order the DC unit only if your rack is DC-fed — it will not run from a standard outlet.
Onboard storage. The 401F-DC adds 2x 480 GB SSD for local logging and reporting; the 400F-DC has none. Performance and interfaces match exactly.
79.5 Gbps of IPv4/IPv6 firewall throughput, 12 Gbps of IPS, 10 Gbps of NGFW and 9 Gbps of threat protection, with 7.8 million concurrent sessions and 500,000 new sessions per second, accelerated by Fortinet’s NP7 + CP9 SPU.
Four of the 10GE SFP+ slots are ULL ports that cut firewall latency from 4.19 µs to 2.5 µs. They suit latency-sensitive east-west traffic — trading systems, storage replication and real-time industrial links — where microseconds are measurable.
No. It is not listed for end-of-order or end-of-support in Fortinet’s July 2026 lifecycle publication, so it remains orderable with full FortiGuard and FortiCare coverage. Lifecycle dates for the whole catalog are on our Fortinet end-of-life page.
