Before use, the FortiController-5913C must be correctly installed into a FortiGate-5144C
chassis.
This chapter describes:
• Installing CFP2 and SFP+ transceivers
• FortiController-5913C mounting components
• Inserting a FortiController-5913C board
• Shutting down and Removing a FortiController-5913C board
• Resetting a FortiController-5913C board
• Troubleshooting
You must install CFP2 transceivers to connect FortiController-5913C front panel F1 and
F2 interfaces to 100-gigabit networks. The CFP2 transceivers are inserted into the F1 and
F2 cage sockets on the FortiController-5913C front panel. You can install the CFP2
transceivers before or after inserting the FortiController-5913C board into a chassis.
You must install SR SFP+ transceivers for normal operation of FortiController-5913C B1
and B2 front panel interfaces. The FortiController-5913C ships with two SR SFP+
transceivers. You can also configure the B1 and B2 front panel interfaces to operate at
1-gigabit and install SFP transceivers. You can install these transceivers before or after
inserting the FortiController-5913C board into a chassis.
You can install the following types of transceivers for connectors B1 and B2:
• SFP+ SR (10 gigabits)
• SFP+ LR (10 gigabits)
• SFP (1gigabit)
To install QSFP+ or SFP+ transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiController-5913C board
• CFP2or SFP+ transceivers
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with connection cord
FortiController-5913C boards must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with FortiController-5913C boards at a static-free
workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist
strap when handling FortiController-5913C boards.
1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist strap
terminal.
