This section describes the basics of connecting and configuring a session-aware load
balanced (SALB) cluster consisting of a FortiController-5103B board installed in slot 1
and 2 or more workers installed in chassis slots 3 and up.
Before using this chapter, your chassis should be mounted and connected to your power
system and the boards should be installed in the chassis. The chassis and the boards
should also be powered up and the front panel LEDs should indicate that the boards are
functioning normally.
For more information about setting up a SALB cluster, see the

• Connecting to the FortiController-5103B Web-based manager (GUI)
• Connecting to the FortiController-5103B command line interface (CLI)
• Factory default settings
• Initial session-aware load balanced cluster setup
