Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them. However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001FA2 from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3 jumper.
Also, if a new FortiGate-5001FA2 board does not function properly, you should check the JP3 jumper settings.
Table 3: FortiGate-5001FA2 JP3 jumper settings for each chassis
Chassis | Correct JP3 | Result of wrong jumper setting |
| Jumper Setting | |
FortiGate-5140 | pins 2 and 3 | Shelf manager cannot find FortiGate-5001FA2 board. |
| | No chassis information available. |
FortiGate-5050 | pins 2 and 3 | Shelf manager cannot find FortiGate-5001FA2 board. |
| | No chassis information available. |
FortiGate-5020 | pins 1 and 2 | FortiGate-5001FA2 board will not start up. |
Note: If the shelf manager in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis is missing or not functioning, FortiGate-5001FA2 boards with JP3 jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 will not start up. To operate FortiGate-5001FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis without a shelf manager, set the JP3 jumper to connect pins 1 and 2.
