FPM processor modules. The FIM-7920E can be installed in any FortiGate-7000 series chassis. Normally you would install two FIM-7920E modules in chassis hub/switch slots 1 or 2. Two FIM-7920Es provide a total of eight Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) 100GigE interfaces for a FortiGate-7000 chassis.
-31 to 158°F (-35 to 70°C) Relative Humidity 10% to 90% (Non-condensing) Front panel LEDs From the FIM-7920E font panel you can view the status of the module LEDs to verify that the module is functioning normally. State Description The FIM-7920E is powered off.
Connection at 10Mbps. Front panel connectors You connect the FIM-7920E to your 100Gbps networks using the C1 to C4 front panel QSFP28 interfaces. The front panel also includes M1 and M2 SFP+ interfaces for the base channel, four Ethernet management interfaces FIM-7920E Interface Module Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
FIM-7920E C1 to C 4 interface combinations The following table shows the different combinations of interface speeds that you can set up with the FIM-7920E C1 to C4 front panel interfaces. 100GE QSFP28 40GE QSFP+...
For example, to split the C1 interface of the FIM-7920E in slot 1 (this interface is named 1-C1) and the C1 and C4 interfaces of the FIM-7920E in slot 2 (these interfaces are named 2-C1 and 2-C4) connect to the CLI of your...
NMI switch When working with Fortinet Support to troubleshoot problems with the FIM-7920E, you can use the front panel non-maskable interrupt (NMI) switch to assist with troubleshooting. Pressing this switch causes the software to dump registers/backtraces to the console. After the data is dumped the board reboots. While the board is rebooting, traffic is temporarily blocked.
This chapter describes installing a FIM-7920E interface module into a FortiGate-7000 chassis. Installing QSFP28, QSFP+, SFP+, and SFP transceivers You must install QSFP28 or QSFP+, transceivers into the FIM-7920E front panel C1 to C4 fabric channel interfaces before connecting them to 100Gbps or 40Gbps networks (10Gbps networks if splitting interface into four 10GBASE-SR interfaces).
(when open the latch slides up about 2 mm) The FIM-7920E handles align the module in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject the module from the slot. The latches activate micro switches that turn on or turn off power to the module. When both latches are FIM-7920E Interface Module Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
If the module is not receiving power all LEDs remain off. FIM-7920Es are hot swappable. The procedure for inserting a FIM-7920E into a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on.

Inserting a FIM-7920E module into a chassis Hardware installation 1. Remove the FIM-7920E module from its packaging. Align the module with the chassis slot and slide the module part way into the slot. In the photograph an example module is being installed into chassis slot 1 of a FortiGate-7040E chassis.

Hardware installation Inserting a FIM-7920E module into a chassis 3. Carefully slide the module into the slot until the handles engage with the sides of the chassis slot, partially closing them. Insert the module by applying moderate force to the front faceplate (not the handles) to slide the module into the slot.

Inserting a FIM-7920E module into a chassis Hardware installation 5. Tighten both retention screws to secure the module in the chassis. You can tighten the retention screws by hand with a Phillips screwdriver. If you use a power screwdriver the tightening torque needs to be adjusted between 3 In-lb to 4 In-lb (0.4 N-m to 0.48 N-m).
Disconnect all cables from the FIM-7920E module, including all network cables and USB cables or keys. FIM-7920Es are hot swappable. The procedure for removing a FIM-7920E from a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on.

Shutting down and removing a FIM-7920E board from a chassis Hardware installation 1. Fully loosen the retention screws. You must fully loosen the screws or the handles may be damaged when used to eject the board from the chassis slot.
4. Hold the module front panel sides and slide it part way out of the slot. Then grasp the module by the sides and carefully slide it out of the slot. Troubleshooting This section describes some common troubleshooting topics: FIM-7920E Interface Module Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Latches and handles not fully closed If the latches or handles are damaged or positioned incorrectly the FIM-7920E may not start up. Make sure the latches are fully closed and the handles are correctly aligned, fully inserted and locked and the retention screws are tightened.
CLI. You can connect to the GUI using HTTP or HTTPS, You can connect to the CLI using SSH or Telent or by a direct console connection to the FIM-7920E Console port. Use a terminal emulator with the following settings to connect to the console port: bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow control: none.

Changing network settings Quick FIM-7920E configuration At any time during the configuration process, if you run into problems, you can reset the FIM-7920E to the factory defaults and start over. From the CLI enter execute factoryreset. Connect to the GUI by connecting MGMT1 of the module in slot 1 to your network and browsing to https://192.168.1.99.
