FortiGate-5140 chassis
You can install up to 14 FortiGate-5000 series boards in the 14 front panel slots of the FortiGate-5140 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5140 is a 12U chassis that contains two redundant hot swappable DC power entry modules that connect to -48 VDC Data Center DC power. The FortiGate-5140 chassis also includes three hot swappable cooling fan trays and a front accessible air filter. If all 14 front panel slots contain FortiGate-5005A2, FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2 boards the FortiGate-5140 chassis provides a total of 112 FortiGate gigabit ethernet interfaces. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5140 chassis supports 28 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2 modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5140 chassis supports another 28 10-Gigabit interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board in the FortiGate-5140 chassis to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and for data communications. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A boards can also provide fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5140 fabric backplane channels.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the FortiGate-5140 chassis. For example, you could install four FortiGate-5005FA2 boards, four FortiGate-5001SX boards, and four FortiGate-5001FA2 boards. You can also install FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5140 chassis to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5140 chassis can be operating in a FortiGate HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units. You can also operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a single FortiGate-5140 chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards to operate HA clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A boards for fabric data communication between chassis.
The FortiGate-5140 chassis also includes 14 rear transition module (RTM) slots. The FortiGate-5050 chassis supports 10-gigabit fabric channel communication if you have installed FortiGate-5001A boards with FortiGate-RTM-XB2 modules and one or two FortiSwitch-5003A boards.
The FortiGate-5140 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased separately) with FortiGate-5140 power supplies.
