Before use, the FortiGate-5001D board must be correctly inserted into an Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) chassis that can provide sufficient
power and cooling.
This section describes:
• Installing QSFP+ and SFP+ transceivers
• Changing FortiGate-5001D SW6 switch settings
• FortiGate-5001D mounting components
• Inserting a FortiGate-5001D board
• Shutting down and removing a FortiGate-5001D board
• Power cycling a FortiGate-5001D board
• Installing QSFP+ and SFP+ transceivers
• Troubleshooting
You must install QSFP+ transceivers to connect the FortiGate-5001D front panel port1
and port2 interfaces to a 40-gigabit network. The QSFP+ transceivers are inserted into
cage sockets numbered 1 and 2 on the FortiGate-5001D front panel. You can install the
QSFP+ transceivers before or after inserting the FortiGate-5001D board into a chassis.
You must install SR SFP+ transceivers for normal operation of the FortiGate-5001D front
panel port3 and port4 interfaces. The FortiGate-5001D ships with two SR SFP+
transceivers. You can also configure front panel interfaces to operate at 1-gigabit and
install SFP transceivers. You can install the transceivers before or after inserting the
FortiGate-5001D board into a chassis.
You can install the following types of transceivers for connectors 3 and 4:
• SFP+ SR (10 gigabits)
• SFP+ LR (10 gigabits)
• SFP (1gigabit)
To install QSFP+, SFP+ or SFP transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5001D board
• Two or QSFP+, SFP+ or SFP transceivers
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with connection cord
FortiGate-5001D boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001D boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001D boards.
