Before use, the FortiGate-5001A 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 the SW-11 switch is set correctly.

In the available Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) double-width module (ADM) opening on the FortiGate-5001A-DW front panel you can install a supported FortiGate ADM module such as the FortiGate-ADM-XB2 or the FortiGate-ADM-FB8.

In the available AMC single-width module (ASM) opening on the FortiGate-5001A-SW front panel you can install a supported ASM module such as the FortiGate-ASM-FB4 or the FortiGate-ASM-S08.

Caution: If you are installing a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module you should install the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module first, before you install the FortiGate-5001A board to avoid possible damage. Follow the instructions in the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 System Guide to install the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module.

Caution: Because FortiGate-5001A boards do not support hot swapping AMC modules, the FortiGate-5001A board must be disconnected from power before you install a FortiGate AMC module. Also, the FortiGate-5001A-DW left (top) handle must be opened to install a FortiGate AMC module. See “Installing and removing AMC modules” on page 20.

Caution: Do not operate the FortiGate-5001A board with an open AMC opening. For optimum cooling performance and safety, the AMC opening must contain an AMC slot filler panel or a FortiGate AMC module.

Note: FortiGate-5001A boards are hot swappable even if the FortiGate-5001A board contains an AMC module and you have installed a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module for the FortiGate-5001A board.
