FortiGate-7030E
FortiGate-7040E schematic
The FortiGate-7040E chassis schematic below shows the communication channels between chassis components
including the management module (MGMT), the FIM modules (called FIM1 and FIM2) and the FPM modules
(FPM3 and FPM4).
The management module (MGMT, with IPMB address 0x20) communicates with all modules in the chassis over
the base backplane. Each module, including the management module includes a Shelf Management Controller
(SMC). These SMCs support Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) communication between the
management module and the FIM and FPM modules for storing and sharing sensor data that the management
module uses to control chassis cooling and power distribution. The base backplane also supports serial
communications to allow console access from the management module to all modules, and 1Gbps Ethernet
communication for management and heartbeat communication between modules.
FIM1 and FIM2 (IPMB addresses 0x82 and 0x84) are the FIM modules in slots 1 and 2. The interfaces of these
modules connect the chassis to data networks and can be used for Ethernet management access to chassis
components. The FIM modules include DP2 processors that distribute sessions over the Integrated Switch Fabric
(ISF) to the NP6 processors in the FPM modules. Data sessions are communicated to the FPM modules over the
80Gbps chassis fabric backplane.
FPM3 and FPM4 (IPMB addresses 0x86 and 0x88) are the FPM processor modules in slots 3 and 4. These
worker modules process sessions distributed to them by the FIM modules. FPM modules include NP6 processors
to offload sessions from the FPM CPU and CP9 processors that accelerate content processing.
FortiGate-7030E
The FortiGate-7030E is a 6U 19-inch rackmount 3-slot chassis with a 80Gbps fabric and 1Gbps base backplane
designed by Fortinet. The fabric backplane provides network data communication and the base backplane
provides management and synch communication among the chassis slots.
