FortiGate-5005FA2 worker boards

The FortiGate-5005FA2 security system serves as the worker board for the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Worker boards are identically configured and administered as a single unit from the primary I/O board. Workers are typically installed in slots 3 and above, though FortiGate-5005FA2 security systems with only one I/O board can also have a worker installed in slot 2.

The worker boards apply all of the FortiGate security system functionality to traffic passing through the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Traffic is distributed to the worker boards by the I/O boards. The worker boards perform FortiGate functions such as applying firewall policies, virus scanning, IPS and routing to distributed traffic.
