Fortinet manual FortiGate-5001FA2 jumper settings

Changing FortiGate-5001FA2 jumper settings Hardware installation

Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them. However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001FA2 from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3 jumper.

Also, if a new FortiGate-5001FA2 board does not function properly, you should check the JP3 jumper settings.

Table 3: FortiGate-5001FA2 JP3 jumper settings for each chassis

Chassis	Correct JP3	Result of wrong jumper setting
	Jumper Setting
FortiGate-5140	pins 2 and 3	Shelf manager cannot find FortiGate-5001FA2 board.
		No chassis information available.
FortiGate-5050	pins 2 and 3	Shelf manager cannot find FortiGate-5001FA2 board.
		No chassis information available.
FortiGate-5020	pins 1 and 2	FortiGate-5001FA2 board will not start up.

Note: If the shelf manager in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis is missing or not functioning, FortiGate-5001FA2 boards with JP3 jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 will not start up. To operate FortiGate-5001FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis without a shelf manager, set the JP3 jumper to connect pins 1 and 2.
