FortiGate-7040E chassis
The FortiGate-7040E is a 6U 19-inch rackmount 4-slot chassis with a 80Gbps fabric and 1Gbps base backplane
designed by Fortinet. The fabric backplane provides network data communication and the base backplane provides
management and synch communication among the chassis slots. Power is provided to the chassis using three hot
swappable 2+1 redundant 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply units (PSUs). You can also optionally add a fourth PSU.
The FortiGate-7040E can also be equipped with three or four DC PSUs allowing you to connect the chassis to -48V DC
power.

The FortiGate-7040E chassis is managed by a single management module that includes an Ethernet connection as well
as two switchable console ports that provide console connections to the modules in the chassis slots. The management
module controls chassis cooling and power management and provides an interface for managing the FIMs and FPMs
installed in the chassis. The standard configuration of the FortiGate-7040E includes two FIMs (interface modules) in
chassis slots 1 and 2 and two FPMs (processing modules) in chassis slots 3 and 4.
