Front panel LEDs and connectors | FortiGate-5001FA2 security system |
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board comes supplied with four optical or four copper SFP transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001FA2 interfaces 1 to 4, you must insert the SFP transceivers into the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel cage slots numbered 1 to 4.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board ships with two RAM DIMMs installed on the FortiGate-5001FA2 circuit board. You should confirm that the RAM DIMMs are installed correctly before inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a chassis.
Front panel LEDs and connectors
From the FortiGate-5001FA2 font panel you can view the status of the front panel LEDs to verify that the board is functioning normally. You also connect the FortiGate-5001FA2 board to your network through the front panel ethernet connectors. The front panel also includes the RS-232 console port for connecting to the FortiOS CLI and a USB port. The USB port can be used with a Fortinet USB key. For information about using the FortiUSB key, see the FortiGate-5000 Series Firmware and FortiUSB Guide.

Table 1 lists and describes the FortiGate-5001FA2 board LEDs.
Table 1: FortiGate-5001FA2 board LEDs
LED | State | Description |
| | |
PWR | Green | The FortiGate-50012FA2 board is powered on. |
| | |
ACC | Off or | The ACC LED flashes red when the FortiGate-5001FA2 board |
| Flashing | accesses the FortiOS flash disk. The FortiOS flash disk stores |
| red | the current FortiOS firmware build and configuration files. The |
| | system accesses the flash disk when starting up, during a |
| | firmware upgrade, or when an administrator is using the CLI |
| | or GUI to change the FortiOS configuration. Under normal |
| | operating conditions this LED flashes occasionally, but is |
| | mostly off. |
STA | Green | Normal operation. |
| | |
| Red | The FortiGate-5001FA2 is booting or a fault condition exists. |
| | |
IPM | Blue | The FortiGate-5001FA2 is ready to be hot-swapped (removed |
| | from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no other LEDs |
| | are lit the FortiGate-5001FA2 board has lost power, possibly |
| | because of a loose or incorrectly aligned left handle. See |
| | |
| | page 13 for more information. |
| Flashing | The FortiGate-5001FA2 is changing from hot swap to running |
| Blue | mode or from running mode to hot swap. |
| Off | Normal operation. The FortiGate-5001FA2 board is in contact |
| | with the chassis backplane. |
1, 2, 3, 4 | Green | The correct cable is connected to the gigabit SFP interface. |
| | |
| Flashing | Network activity at the gigabit SFP interface. |
