FortiGate-7040E System Guide
Each module, including the management module, includes an SMC SDI console. These
consoles are used for low level programming of the module using an IPMI tool and are
disabled by default. You can enable serial access to individual module SMC SDI consoles
from the management module SMC SDI CLI using the command
enable <slot> . During normal operation you may want to access the management
module SMC SDI CLI, you shouldn't normally require access to individual module SMC SDI
consoles.
