FPM-7620E processing module
The FPM-7620E processing module is a high-performance worker module that processes sessions load balanced
to it by FortiGate-7000 series interface (FIM) modules over the chassis fabric backplane. The FPM-7620E can be
installed in any FortiGate-7000 series chassis in slots 3 and up.
The FPM-7620E includes two 80Gbps connections to the chassis fabric backplane and two 1Gbps connections to
the base backplane. The FPM-7620E processes sessions using a dual CPU configuration, accelerates network
traffic processing with 4 NP6 processors and accelerates content processing with 8 CP9 processors. The NP6
network processors are connected by the FIM switch fabric so all supported traffic types can be fast path
accelerated by the NP6 processors.
The FPM-7620E includes the following hardware features:
Two 80Gbps fabric backplane channels for load balanced sessions from the FIM modules installed in the chassis.
l
Two 1Gbps base backplane channels for management, heartbeat and session sync communication.
l
Dual CPUs for high performance operation.
l
Four NP6 processors to offload network processing from the CPUs.
l
Eight CP9 processors to offload content processing and SSL and IPsec encryption from the CPUs.
