Inserting a FortiGate-5001A board

!

!

The FortiGate-5001A board must be fully installed in a chassis slot, with the handles closed and locked and retention screws fully tightened for the FortiGate-5001A board to receive power and operate normally. If the FortiGate-5001A board is not receiving power, the IPM LED glows solid blue and all other LEDs remain off. See “Front panel LEDs and connectors” on page 6.

It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate-5001A board all the way into the chassis, to not use too much force on the handles, and to make sure that the handles are properly locked. Only then will the FortiGate-5001A board power-on and start up correctly.

FortiGate-5001A boards are hot swappable. The procedure for inserting

a FortiGate-5001A board into a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on.

To insert a FortiGate-5001A board into a chassis slot

Caution: Do not carry the FortiGate-5001A board by holding the handles or retention screws. When inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001A board from a chassis slot, handle the board by the front panel. The handles are not designed for carrying the board. If the handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001A board may not align correctly in the chassis slot.

Caution: If you are installing a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module you must 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.

To complete this procedure, you need:

•A FortiGate-5001A board with either the correct AMC slot filler panel or a FortiGate AMC module installed in the front panel AMC opening

•An ATCA chassis with an empty slot

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

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

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