System Management Module Failure; System Management Module Leds - Fortinet FortiGate-7000E Series System Manual

FortiGate-7060E System Management Modules
Each module in the chassis includes its own module Shelf Manager Controller (SMC) Serial Debug Interface (SDI) or
SMC SDI console that communicates with the SMM SMC SDI. You can connect a serial cable to the active SMM
console ports to connect to the SMM SMC SDI and to connect to each module's SMC SDI console. You can also interact
with the SMC SDI consoles using an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tool.

System Management Module failure

If one or both of the SMMs fails, you should RMA the chassis. The chassis and the modules in it will continue to operate
with one or no functioning SMMs until you can replace the chassis. If there is no functioning SMM, the chassis fans
operate at maximum speed and the FIM and FPM modules in the chassis switch to standalone mode and manage their
own power.
