The FortiController-5103B handles align the board in the chassis slot and are used to
insert and eject the board from the slot. The right (bottom) handle activates a microswitch
that turns on or turns off power to the board. When the right (bottom) handle is open the
microswitch is off and the board cannot receive power. When the right (bottom) handle is
fully closed the microswitch is on and if the board is fully inserted into a chassis slot the
board can receive power.
You can reset the board without removing it from the chassis. See
FortiController-5103B board" on page
The FortiController-5103B board must be fully installed in a chassis hub/switch slot
(usually slot 1 or 2), with the handles closed and locked and retention screws fully
tightened for the FortiController-5103B board to receive power and operate normally. If
the FortiController-5103B board is not receiving power, the HS LED glows solid blue and
all other LEDs remain off. See
It is important to carefully seat the FortiController-5103B board all the way into the
chassis, to not use too much force on the handles, and to make sure that the handles are
properly locked. Only then will the FortiController-5103B board power-on and start up
correctly.
FortiController-5103B boards are hot swappable. The procedure for inserting
a FortiController-5103B board into a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis
is powered on.
To insert a FortiController-5103B board into a chassis slot
Do not carry the FortiController-5103B board by holding the handles or retention
screws. When inserting or removing the FortiController-5103B board from a chassis slot,
handle the board by the front panel. The handles are not designed for carrying the
board. If the handles become bent or damaged the FortiController-5103B board may not
align correctly in the chassis slot.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiController-5103B board
• An ATCA chassis with an empty hub/switch slot
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
FortiController-5103B boards must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with FortiController-5103B boards at a static-free
workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist
strap when handling FortiController-5103B boards.
1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
2 If required, remove the protective metal frame that the FortiController-5103B board
has been shipped in.
3 Insert the FortiController-5103B board into the empty hub/switch slot in the chassis.
