Fortinet manual To install FortiGate-5001FA2 RAM DIMMs

Hardware installation RAM DIMMs

Hardware installation

Before use, the FortiGate-5001FA2 board must be correctly inserted into an Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ACTA) chassis such as the FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis.

Before inserting the board into a chassis you should make sure RAM DIMMS are installed and FortiGate-5001FA2 jumpers are set. SFP transceivers must also be installed for interfaces 1 to 4 before these interfaces can be connected to network devices.

RAM DIMMs

The FortiGate-5001FA2 board ships with two RAM DIMMs installed on the FortiGate-5001FA2 circuit board. You should confirm that the RAM DIMMs are installed correctly before inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a chassis.

To install FortiGate-5001FA2 RAM DIMMs

To complete this procedure, you need:

•A FortiGate-5001FA2 board

•Two RAM DIMMs to be installed into the FortiGate-5001FA2 board RAM DIMM slots

•An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord

Caution: FortiGate-5001FA2 boards must be protected from static discharge and physical ! shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001FA2 boards at a static-free workstation.

Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FortiGate-5001FA2 boards.

Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on a chassis or frame.

Caution: Handle DIMMs by the edges only. DIMMs are ESD-sensitive components that can be damaged by mishandling.

Remove RAM DIMMs from their antistatic packaging.
