FortiGate-5050 shelf managers

The FortiGate-5050 chassis includes one or two redundant hot-swappable shelf managers, located in the dedicated shelf manager slots on the bottom of the FortiGate-5050 front panel. The primary shelf manager is installed on the right (SMC 1) the secondary shelf manager is installed on the left (SMC 2).

The shelf managers support redundant operation with automatic switchover. If both shelf managers are operating normally, one acts as the active shelf manager and the other as the standby. Usually the primary shelf manager would be the active shelf manager and the secondary shelf manager would be the standby shelf manager. The shelf managers monitor each other and either can trigger a switchover if necessary. The active shelf manager performs all shelf manager functions. If the active shelf manager fails or is removed, the standby shelf manager takes over all shelf manager functions.

The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers control chassis power up and power down, chassis power distribution, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and control chassis cooling, and can signal alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the chassis communicate with the shelf managers.

The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers are factory installed. In most cases users do not have to install or configure the shelf managers.

Each shelf manager has two ethernet interfaces (ETH 0 and ETH 1). You can connect to ETH 0 from the shelf manager front panel. ETH 1 connects to the FortiGate-5050 backplane.

The shelf managers detect alarm conditions and communicate alarm signals to the FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel. The shelf alarm panel also contains serial interfaces for connecting to the shelf managers.

The shelf managers are hot swappable. You can remove a shelf manager by opening the extraction lever until the hot swap LED starts blinking. When the hot swap LED turns solid blue you can remove the shelf manager from the FortiGate-5050 chassis.
