Inserting FIM and FPM-7000 series modules

All FortiGate-7060E chassis are shipped with a protective front panel installed in the chassis to protect internal

chassis components. This panel must be removed before you install FIM and FPM modules.

Insert FIM modules into chassis slots 1 and 2. Insert FPM modules into chassis slots 3, 4, 5, and 6.

To insert FIM and FPM modules, see the guide supplied with the module.

If you are installing different FIM modules in the FortiGate-7060E chassis, for optimal configuration you should

install the module with the lower model number in slot 1 and the module with the higher number in slot 2.

For example:

if your chassis includes a FIM-7901E and a FIM-7904E, install the FIM-7901E in chassis slot 1 and the FIM-7904E

in chassis slot 2.

If your chassis includes a FIM-7904E and a FIM-7920E, install the FIM-7904E in chassis slot 1 and the FIM-7920E

in chassis slot 2.

This applies to any combination of two different interface modules.

Do not operate the FortiGate-7060E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel.

For optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis slot must contain an FIM

or FPM module or an FIM or FPM blank panel (also called a dummy card). For the

same reason, all cooling fan trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be

installed while the chassis is operating.

You must carefully slide the module all the way into the chassis slot, close the handles

to seat the module into the slot, and tighten the retention screws to make sure the

module is fully engaged with the backplane and secured. You must also make sure

that the sliding latches are fully closed by gently pushing them down. The handles

must be closed, the retention screws tightened and the latches fully closed for the

module to get power and start up. If the module is not receiving power all LEDs remain

off.

All FIM and FPM-7000 series modules must be protected from static discharge and

physical shock. Only handle or work with these boards at a static-free workstation.

Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when

handling these boards.
