Changing FortiGate-5001A SW11 switch settings

The SW11 switch on the FortiGate-5001A board is factory set by Fortinet to detect a shelf manager (Figure 6). This is the correct setting if you are installing the FortiGate-5001A board in a chassis that contains an operating shelf manager (such as the FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis).

By default a FortiGate-5001A board will not start up if the board is installed in a chassis, such as a FortiGate-5020, that does not contain a shelf manager or that contains a shelf manager that is not operating. Before installing a FortiGate-5001A in a FortiGate-5020 chassis or a chassis that does not contain an operating shelf manager you must change the SW11 switch setting as shown in Figure 7.

In all cases you should confirm that you have the correct SW11 setting before installing the board in a chassis.

Note: If the shelf manager in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis is missing or not functioning, FortiGate-5001A boards with factory default SW11 settings will not start up.
