Table 25: FortiController-5208 board LEDs (Continued)

LED		State	Description
CONTROL	1-16	Green	The control LEDs display the fabric backplane
			connections of the FortiController-5208 board,
			an optional secondary FortiController-5208 board,
			and all the 5005 boards, over which management
			communication is sent. LED 1 is for the
			FortiController-5208 board’s connection. LEDs 2
			through 14 are for connections to the corresponding
			slots in a 5050 or 5140. LEDs 15 and 16 are for
			future use.
		Flashing	Management communication activity on the fabric
			backplane connection.
1, 2, 3, 4		Green	The correct cable is connected to the gigabit SFP
			interface.
		Flashing	Network activity at the gigabit SFP interface.
IPM		Blue	The FortiController-5208 is ready to be hot-
			swapped (removed from the chassis). If the IPM
			light is blue and no other LEDs are lit the
			FortiController-5208 board has lost power. See
			“Inserting a FortiController-5208 module into a
			chassis” on page 10 for more information.
		Flashing	The FortiController-5208 is changing from hot swap
		Blue	to running mode or from running mode to hot swap.
		Off	Normal operation. The FortiController-5208 board is
			in contact with the chassis backplane.
MANAGEMENT	Link	Amber	The correct cable is inserted into this interface and
	LED		the connected equipment has power.
		Flashing	Network activity at this interface.
	Speed	Green	The interface is connected at 1000 Mbps.
	LED
		Amber	The interface is connected at 100 Mbps.
		Unlit	The interface is connected at 10 Mbps.

The control LEDs of a secondary FortiController-5208 board will be synchronized to the control LEDs of the primary because all the installed boards use the same fabric backplane network to communicate. Each FortiController-5208 board has its own base backplane network with which to exchange data traffic with the worker boards so the data LEDs of each FortiController-5208 board will indicate only its own communication.

Connectors

Table 26 lists and describes the FortiController-5208 board connectors.

Table 26: FortiController-5208 connectors

Connector	Type	Speed	Protocol	Description
X1, X2	XFP	10 Gbps	Ethernet	Two 10 gigabit XFP interfaces that
				can accept fiber or copper
				transceivers. These interfaces
				operate only at 10 Gbps. See
				“Installing XFP and SFP transceivers”
				on page 9 for more information.
