Introduction About the FortiGate-5000 series boards

FortiGate-5020 chassis

You can install one or two FortiGate-5000 series

boards in the two slots of the FortiGate-5020 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5020 is a 4U chassis that contains two redundant AC to DC power supplies that connect to AC power. The

FortiGate-5020 chassis also includes an internal cooling fan tray. For details the FortiGate-5020 chassis, see “FortiGate-5020 chassis” on page 31.

About the FortiGate-5000 series boards

Each FortiGate-5000 series board is a standalone FortiGate security system that can also function as part of a FortiGate HA cluster. All FortiGate-5000 series boards are also hot swappable. All FortiGate-5000 series units are high capacity security systems with multiple gigabit interfaces, multiple virtual domain capacity, and other high end FortiGate features.

FortiGate-5001A security system

The FortiGate-5001A board is an independent high-performance FortiGate security system with

two front panel gigabit ethernet interfaces, two base backplane gigabit interfaces, and two fabric backplane gigabit interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for connections to your networks and the backplane interfaces for communication between FortiGate-5000 series boards over the ACTA chassis backplane. The fabric interfaces are reserved for future 10-gigabit operation but can be used now for board to board 1-gigabit operation. In FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis you must install a FortiSwitch-5003 board or another backplane switching product to support backplane communication. For details about the FortiGate-5001A security system, see “FortiGate-5001A security system” on page 33.

The FortiGate-5001A-DW front panel includes a double-width Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) opening. You can install a supported FortiGate AMC Double width Module (ADM) module such as the FortiGate-ADM-XB2 or the FortiGate-ADM-FB8 in the AMC opening. The FortiGate-ADM-XB2 adds two accelerated 10-gigabit interfaces to the FortiGate board and the FortiGate- ADM-FB8 adds 8 accelerated 1 gigabit interfaces.

The FortiGate-5001A-SW (single-width) includes a single-width AMC opening. You can install a supported FortiGate AMC Single width Module (ASM) such as the FortiGate-ASM-FB4 or the FortiGate-ASM-S08 in the AMC opening. The FortiGate-ASM-FB4 adds four accelerated 1-gigabit interfaces to the FortiGate board and the FortiGate-ADM-S08 adds a removable hard disk that you can use to store log files and content archives.
