The FortiGate-5001D security system is a high-performance Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) compliant FortiGate security system
that can be installed in any ATCA chassis that can provide sufficient power and cooling.
Fortinet's FortiGate-5144C chassis is recommended because it has a 40-gigabit fabric
backplane and the FortiGate-5001D has 40-gigabit fabric interfaces. You can also install
the FortiGate-5001D in a FortiGate-5060 or FortiGate-5140B chassis; both of which have
10-gigabit fabric backplanes.
See the
FortiGate-5000 Compatability Guide
FortiGate-5000 series chassis and other components that are compatible with the
FortiGate-5001D.
The FortiGate-5001D security system contains two front panel 40-gigabit QSFP+
interfaces, two front panel 10-gigabit SFP+ interfaces, two base backplane 1-gigabit
interfaces, and two fabric backplane 40-gigabit interfaces. The front panel SFP+
interfaces can also operate as 1-gigabit SFP interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for
connections to your networks and the backplane interfaces for communication across
the ATCA chassis backplane. The FortiGate-5001D also includes two front panel RJ45
10/100/1000 management Ethernet interfaces, one RJ45 front panel serial console port,
and one front panel USB port.

The FortiGate-5001D front panel QSFP+ 40-gigabit, SFP+ 10-gigabit interfaces and
fabric backplane interfaces also provide NP6-accelerated network processing for eligible
traffic passing through these interfaces.
You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001D boards to create a high availability
(HA) cluster using the base or fabric backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat
communication through the chassis backplane, leaving front panel interfaces available
for network connections.
In most cases the base backplane interfaces are used for HA heartbeat communication
and the fabric backplane interfaces are used for data communication.
