FIM-7904E mounting components

To install a FIM-7904E you slide the module into a hub/switch slot in the front of an FortiGate-7000 series chassis

(either slot 1 or 2) and then use the mounting components to lock the module into place in the slot. When locked

into place and positioned correctly the module front panel is flush with the chassis front panel. The module is also

connected to the chassis backplane.

To position the module correctly you must use the mounting components shown below for the right of the FIM-

7904E front panel. The mounting components on the left of the front panel are the same but reversed. The FIM-

7904E mounting components align the module in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject the module

from the slot.

Latch

Handle

(when open the latch slides up about 2 mm)

The FIM-7904E handles align the module in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject the module from the

slot. The latches activate micro switches that turn on or turn off power to the module. When both latches are

raised the module cannot receive power. When the latches are fully closed if the module is fully inserted into a

chassis slot the module can receive power.

On some FIM modules there may be very little clearance between the front panel

interfaces and the handle on the right side of the FIM-7904E. In fact you may have to

remove network connectors from some front panel interfaces to open the handle. In

most cases you should remove all network connectors from the front panel before

opening the handles to remove a FIM module from a chassis slot.
