The FortiMail-5001A base backplane 1-gigabit can be configured to use the base
backplane interfaces for data communication between FortiGate boards. To support base
backplane communications, your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include
one or more FortiSwitch-5003 boards, FortiSwitch-5003A boards, or other 1-gigabit base
backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in base slots 1 and 2. The FortiGate-
5020 chassis supports base backplane communication with no additions or changes to the
chassis.
For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the
Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003A board, see the
System
Guide.
To support 1-gigabit fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-
5050 chassis must include one or more FortiSwitch-5003A boards or other 1-gigabit fabric
backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in fabric slots 1 and 2. The
FortiGate-5020 chassis does not support fabric backplane communications.
For information about the FortiSwitch-5003A board, see the
Guide.
The FortiMail-5001A board comes with a FortiGate-ASM-S08 AMC module, which
provides hard disk storage for the FortiMail system.
Caution: For the FortiMail system to function properly, this AMC module cannot be
removed.
