You can install up to six FortiGate-5000 series boards in the six slots of the FortiGate-5060
ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5060 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount ATCA chassis that contains
two redundant hot swappable DC power entry Modules (PEMs) connect to -48 VDC Data
Center DC power. The FortiGate-5060 chassis also includes two hot swappable cooling
fan trays and a front replaceable air filter. If all six slots contain FortiGate-5001B boards,
the FortiGate-5060 chassis provides a total of 48 FortiGate 10-gigabit ethernet interfaces.
You can also install FortiSwitch-5003B boards in FortiGate-5060 chassis slots 1 and 2 to
provide base backplane communications using the dual star base backplane interface.
Base backplane communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and for
data communications.
FortiSwitch-5003B boards can also provide fabric backplane communication using the
FortiGate-5060 fabric backplane channels. The fabric backplane is a triple replicated
3-channel full mesh 10-gigabit switch fabric.
For both base and fabric backplane communications you can install a single
FortiSwitch-5003B board in slot 1. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003B board to
slot 2 for redundancy.
Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5060 chassis can be operating in a FortiGate
HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units. You can also
operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a single FortiGate-5060
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003B boards to operate HA clusters consisting of
FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also
use FortiSwitch-5003B boards for data communication between chassis and for Enhanced
Load Balancing Cluster (ELBC) configurations. You can also install FortiSwitch-5203B
boards in slots 1 and 2, add FortiGate-5001B boards to slots 3 and up and operate the
FortiGate-5060 chassis in HA over chassis mode.
The FortiGate-5060 chassis also includes six rear transition module (RTM) slots. The
FortiGate-5060 chassis supports 10-gigabit fabric channel communication if you have
installed FortiGate-5001A boards with FortiGate-RTM-XB2 or FortiGate-RTM-XD2
modules and one or two FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003B boards.
The FortiGate-5060 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power is not
available you can install a FortiGate power converter shelf and power supplies (purchased
separately).
