Removing a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a chassis
The following procedure describes how to correctly use the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC mounting components shown in Figure4 to remove a
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot.
To remove a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a FortiGate-5000 series
chassis
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards are hot swappable. The procedure for removing
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot is
the same whether or not the FortiGate-5000 series chassis is powered on.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5000 series chassis with a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board
installed
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
2Disconnect all cables from the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board, including all
network cables, the console cable, and any USB cables or keys.
3Fully loosen the retention screws on the left and right sides of the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC front panel.
4Unlock the left and right handles by squeezing the handle locks.
!
Caution: Do not carry the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board by holding the handles. When
inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a chassis slot, handle the
board by the front panel. The handles are designed for positioning and locking the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a slot in a chassis only and should not be used for
handling the board. If the handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
board may not align correctly in the chassis slot and the left handle may not activate the
power switch.
!
Caution: FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards must be protected from static discharge and
physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards at a static-free
workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap
when handling FortiGate-5000 series or FortiSwitch-5000 series boards.
