Fortinet 5001A-SW, 5001A-DW manual Turn both handles to their fully-closed positions

Hardware installation Inserting a FortiGate-5001A board

9Turn both handles to their fully-closed positions.

The handles should hook into the sides of the chassis slot. Closing the handles draws the FortiGate-5001A board into place in the chassis slot and into full contact with the chassis backplane. The FortiGate-5001A front panel should be in contact with the chassis front panel. For the FortiGate-5001A-DW, the right (bottom) handle locks into place. For the FortiGate-5001A-SW, both handles lock into place.

As the handles closed power is supplied to the board. If the chassis is powered on the IPM LED starts flashing blue. If the board is aligned correctly, inserted all the way into the slot, and the handles are properly closed the IPM LED flashes blue for a few seconds. At the same time the STATUS LED flashes green, the interface LEDs flash amber, and the ACC LED starts flashing green. After a few seconds the IPM LED goes out and the FortiGate-5001A firmware starts up. During start up the STATUS LED may continue to flash green. Once the board has started up and is operating correctly, the front panel LEDs are lit as described in Table 4.
