FortiGate-5050 front panel

Figure 1 shows the front of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. Two FortiSwitch-5003 boards are

installed in slots 1 and 2. Three FortiGate-5001SX boards are installed in slots 3, 4, and 5.

The FortiGate-5050 primary Shelf Manager is also visible. The factory-installed shelf

managers provide power distribution, cooling, alarms, shelf status, and a telco alarm

interface for the FortiGate-5050 chassis. For more information about these components,

see “FortiGate-5050 shelf manager” on page8.

installed

Also visible on the front of the FortiGate-5050:

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) socket, used for connecting an ESD wrist or ankle band

when working with the chassis.

• The location of the hot swappable FortiGate-5050 cooling fan tray behind panel.

• Power LED.

FortiGate-5050 back panel

Figure 2 shows the back panel of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The back panel includes two

redundant -48V to - 58V DC power input connectors labelled Input A and Input B. The

power input connectors provide redundant DC power connections for the FortiGate-5050

chassis and distribute DC power to the fan tray and the FortiGate-5000 series boards

installed in the FortiGate-5050 chassis. Each power input connector includes a 24 Amp

circuit breaker that also functions as an on/off switch for the power input connector.

If you require redundant power you should connect both power input connectors to DC

power. If redundant power is not required, you should connect power input connector A to

DC power. When operating, the power input connectors are covered with clear protection

plates.

Caution: Do not operate the FortiGate-5050 chassis with open slots on the front panel. For

optimum cooling performance and safety, the slots must contain a FortiGate-5000 series

board or an air baffle slot filler. As well the removable power supply panel must be installed

over the power connectors on the back of the chassis.
