FortiGate-5005FA2 modules can operate in normal mode or in DIST mode
depending on the firmware installed on the module. A FortiGate-5005FA2 module
must be running DIST mode firmware before it can join a FortiGate-5005-DIST
system.
The procedures in this section describe how to install FortiGate-5005FA2
modules. These procedures also describe how to determine the mode that the
FortiGate-5005FA2 module is operating in and if required how to install DIST
firmware so that the module operates in DIST mode.
• Installing FortiGate-5005FA2 modules
• Verifying that FortiGate-5005FA2 modules can communicate with the primary
I/O module
• Installing DIST firmware on a FortiGate-5005FA2 module
This procedure describes how to install FortiGate-5005FA2 modules in a
FortiGate-5005-DIST chassis. This procedure also describes how to confirm that
the front panel LEDs indicate that the FortiGate-5005FA2 modules are operating
normally.
To install FortiGate-5005FA2 modules
1 Install a FortiGate-5005FA2 module in any slot numbered 2 or higher in a single
I/O module FortiGate-5005-DIST system, or slot 3 or higher in a dual I/O module
FortiGate-5005-DIST system.
See the FortiGate-5005FA2 Security System Guide
If the chassis is powered on, the FortiGate-5005FA2 module starts up. After a few
minutes, verify that the FortiGate-5005FA2 module normal operating LEDs are lit.
