Recommended slot locations for interface modules

If you are installing different FIM modules in the FortiGate-7040E chassis, for optimal configuration you should install
the module with the lower model number in slot 1 and the module with the higher number in slot 2.
FortiGate-7040E System Guide
Do not operate the FortiGate-7040E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis slot must contain an FIM or FPM or
an FIM or FPM blank panel (also called a dummy card). For the same reason, all cooling fan
trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be installed while the chassis is
operating.

You must carefully slide the module all the way into the chassis slot, close the module levers
to seat the module into the slot, and tighten the secure screws to make sure the module is
fully engaged with the backplane and secured. You must also make sure that the power
sliders are fully closed by gently pushing them down.
Installation Highlights :
1. Module levers must be closed.
2. Secure screws must be tightened.
3. Power sliders must be fully closed for the module to get power and start up.
If the module is not receiving power all LEDs remain off.
All FIM and FPM-7000 series modules must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with these boards at a static-free workstation. Always wear a
grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling these boards.
