FortiGate-5050 chassis

You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series boards in the five slots of the FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount ATCA chassis that contains two redundant DC power connections that connect to -48 VDC Data Center DC power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot swappable cooling fan tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5005FA2, FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2 boards, the FortiGate-5050 chassis provides a total of 40 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If all 5 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports 10 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2 modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports up to ten 10-Gigabit interfaces

You can also install FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards in the FortiGate-5050 chassis slots 1 and 2 to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and data communications using FortiGate-5050 base backplane channels. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A boards can also provide fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5050 fabric backplane channels.

You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2 boards, two FortiGate-5001SX boards, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 board. You can also install FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5050 chassis to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.

Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis can be operating in a FortiGate HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units. You can also operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a single FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards to operate HA clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A boards for fabric data communication between chassis.

The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased separately) with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.
