Insert the FortiGate-5001A board into the empty slot in the chassis. Carefully guide the board into the chassis using the rails in the slot.

Insert the board by applying moderate force to the front faceplate (not the handles) to slide the board into the slot. The board should glide smoothly into the chassis slot. If you encounter any resistance while sliding the board in, the board could be aligned incorrectly. Pull the board back out and try inserting it again.

Slide the board in until the alignment pins are inserted half way into their sockets in the chassis.
