This section provides the information you need to install FortiGate-5005-DIST
hardware components and to make sure that they are all functioning properly.
Once you have completed the procedures in this chapter, you can configure the
FortiGate-5005-DIST system onto your network using the procedures in
Configuration Guide" on page
FortiGate-5005-DIST hardware components include a FortiGate-5140 or
FortiGate-5050 chassis, one or two FortiController-5208 I/O modules, and one or
more FortiGate-5005FA2 modules. The chassis must be installed and connected
to power and the modules must be inserted into the proper chassis slots and be
operating in the correct modes before you can begin configuring your
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
You can install and power up the FortiGate-5005-DIST hardware components in
any order. If all of the components are installed in the correct slots, power is
connected correctly, and all components are operating in the correct mode, the
primary I/O module will connect with all components, and after a few minutes the
system will be operational.
However, the first time you install a FortiGate-5005-DIST system you should
follow the procedures in this chapter in order. The procedures in this chapter
describe a systematic process for making sure that all hardware components are
installed and functioning properly.
When all FortiGate-5005-DIST hardware components are installed and
functioning correctly, you can establish a management connection to the primary
I/O module CLI using the Com 2 console port. You can also establish a
management connection to the primary I/O module web-based manager using the
Management ethernet interface. No other management connections are possible.
You cannot connect to the FortiGate-5005FA2 console port or any interface. All
management is done through the primary I/O module.
The following topics are included in this section:
