3Insert each RAM DIMM perpendicular to the RAM DIMM slots. Push the DIMM firmly into place using the minimum amount of force required. When the DIMM is properly seated, the socket guide posts click into place.

Do not use excessive force when installing a DIMM.

The RAM slots allow only one alignment of each RAM DIM. If you cannot lock the locking levers the DIM is not aligned correctly or is in upside-down.

Installing SFP transceivers

The FortiGate-5001FA2 board ships with four SFP transceivers that you must install for normal operation of the FortiGate-5001FA2 board. The SFP transceivers are inserted into cage sockets numbered 1 to 4 on the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel. You can install the SFP transceivers before or after inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a FortiGate chassis.

Note: Cage slots 1 and 2 are rotated 180 degrees. Install the transceivers in slots 1 and 2 inverted compared to the orientation of the transceivers in slots 3 and 4.
