The following procedure describes how to correctly use the FortiGate-5001FA2
mounting components shown in
from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot.
To remove a FortiGate-5001FA2 board from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis
FortiGate-5001FA2 boards are hot swappable. The procedure for removing the
FortiGate-5001FA2 board from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot is the same
whether or not the FortiGate-5000 series chassis is powered on.
Caution: Do not carry the FortiGate-5001FA2 board by holding the handles. When
inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001FA2 board from a chassis slot, handle the board
by the front panel. The handles are designed for positioning and locking the
FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a slot in a chassis only and should not be used for handling
the board. If the handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001FA2 board may not
align correctly in the chassis slot and the left handle may not activate the power switch.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5000 series chassis with a FortiGate-5001FA2 board installed
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
Caution: FortiGate-5001FA2 boards must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001FA2 boards at a static-free workstation.
Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when
handling FortiGate-5000 series or FortiSwitch-5000 series boards.
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
Disconnect all cables from the FortiGate-5001FA2 board, including all network
cables, the console cable, and any USB cables or keys.
Fully loosen the retention screws on the left and right sides of the
FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel.
