FortiGate-7030E System Management Module
System Management Module failure
If the SSM fails, you should RMA the chassis. The chassis and the modules in it will continue to operate with no
functioning SMM 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.

Description
The SMM is powered off or not initialized.
The SMM is not operating normally either because it is
starting up or because it has failed.
The SMM has started up and is operating normally.
The SMM is passive.
No alarms
One or more analog sensors in the chassis or on a module in
the chassis (other than PSUs) have surpassed a critical or
non-recoverable (NR) threshold causing an alarm. When a
critical threshold has been reached, it means that a condition
has been detected that has surpassed an operating
tolerance. For example, a temperature has increased above
the allowed operating temperature range.
One or more analog sensors in the chassis or on a module in
the chassis (excluding PSUs) has surpassed a major or critical
(CR) threshold. Any sensor, including sensors on PSUs, has
generated an alert. Sensor alert criteria is defined per sensor.
For analog sensors, alerts usually mean passing an upper
critical (UC) or lower critical (LC) threshold. For other sensors,
an alert could mean a flag bit is indicating an anomaly.
All temperature sensors indicated acceptable operating
temperatures.
At least one temperature sensor is detecting a high
temperature outside of the normal operating range. In this
case an upper non-critical (UNC) temperature. The SMM
increases fan speed to increase cooling and reduce the
temperature.
