This section describes procedures that you may be required to perform from time
to time with your FortiGate-5005-DIST system.
The following topics are included in this section:
• Installing FortiGate-5005-DIST firmware
• Starting a configured FortiGate-5005-DIST system
• Upgrading FortiController-5208 NPU firmware
There are no special requirements for starting a configured FortiGate-5005-DIST
system that has been shut down and powered off. As long as the chassis has
power, as the modules start up they automatically find each other and form the
FortiGate-5005-DIST system. It may take a few minutes for all components to
start up and establish communications with the primary I/O blade. During this
startup time the FortiGate-5005-DIST system cannot process traffic.
To start a configured FortiGate-5005-DIST system
Connect and turn on power to the chassis.
Fully insert all modules into the correct chassis slots.
Wait a few minutes for the FortiGate-5005-DIST system to start up and begin
processing traffic.
Review the LEDs on your FortiGate-5005-DIST system components to make sure
that all components are operating correctly.
The following documents describe normal operating status LEDs for
FortiGate-5005-DIST components.

In a functioning FortiGate-5005-DIST system, you install FortiController-5208
firmware on the primary I/O module. The primary I/O module synchronizes this
same firmware version to the secondary FortiController-5208 module if one is
present. This synchronization happens even if the secondary I/O module is
running a newer firmware version than the primary I/O module.
