Fabric backplane 10-gigabit communication

The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module is used for fabric backplane 10-gigabit data communication. To support fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include one or more 10-gigabit switch modules (such as the FortiSwitch-5003A) installed in chassis slots 1 and 2. The FortiGate-5020 chassis does not support fabric backplane communications.
