FIM-7920E interface module
The FIM-7920E interface module is a hot swappable module that provides data, management, and session
sync/heartbeat interfaces, base backplane switching, and fabric backplane session-aware load balancing for a
FortiGate-7000 series chassis. The FIM-7920E includes an integrated switch fabric and DP2 processors to load balance
millions of data sessions over the 80Gbps fabric backplane channel to FPM processor modules. The FIM-7920E also
includes a 1Gbps base backplane channel for base backplane management communication with each FPM module in
the chassis, one 40Gbps fabric backplane channel for fabric backplane communication with the FIM module(s) in the
chassis, and a second 1Gbps base backplane channel for base backplane communication with the FIM module(s) in the
chassis.
The FIM-7920E can be installed in any FortiGate-7000 series chassis in chassis hub/switch slots 1 or 2. The FIM-7920E
provides four Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) 100GigE interfaces for a FortiGate-7000 chassis. Using
a 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 or 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver, each QSFP28 interface can also be split into four
10GBASE-SR SFP+ interfaces.
You can also install FIM-7920Es in a second chassis and operate the chassis in HA mode to provide chassis failover
protection.

Mounting hardware
Use the module levers, power sliders, and secure screws to insert, secure and remove the module from the chassis.
Module levers
Carefully slide the module all of the way into the chassis slot and fully close the module levers to seat the module into
the chassis slot and to connect the module to the chassis backplane connectors. When both module levers are fully
