Hardware installation

All chassis: Firmware problem

If the FortiGate-5001FA2 board power switch is connected and the JP3 jumper and shelf manager are set as required, and the FortiGate-5001FA2 still does not start up, the problem could be with FortiOS. Connect to the FortiGate-5001FA2 console and try cycling the power to the board. If the BIOS starts up, interrupt the BIOS startup and install a new firmware image. For details about installing a new firmware image in this way, see the FortiGate-5000 Series Firmware and FortiUSB Guide.

If this does not solve the problem, contact Fortinet Technical Support.

FortiGate-5001FA2 cannot display chassis information

If the FortiGate-5001FA2 board is installed in a FortiGate-5140 or 5050 chassis, if a shelf manager is operating in the chassis, and if the JP3 jumper is set between pins 2 and 3, the FortiGate-5001FA2 board should be able to communicate with the chassis shelf manager.

If the FortiGate-5001FA2 board can communicate with the shelf manager, the FortiGate-5001FA2 web-based manager System > Chassis pages should display information about the boards installed in the chassis. If any one of the conditions listed above are not met, theFortiGate-5001FA2 web-based manager system chassis pages will not display chassis information.

If all of the above conditions are met, the FortiGate-5001FA2 System > Chassis

>Blades list displays a list of all of the boards installed in the chassis. If any of the other FortiGate-5001FA2 boards in the chassis have the JP3 jumper between pins 1 and 2, these slots will appear empty. Figure 6 shows the blades list for a FortiGate-5001FA2 board installed in slot 3 of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The FortiGate-5001FA2 boards in slots 3 and 4 are called node cards. The FortiGate- 5003 board in slot 2 is called a switch card.
