Chassis Hardware Information; Shipping Components - Fortinet FortiGate-7000F Series System Manual

FortiGate-7000F chassis
passive refers to the SMM that is controlling the chassis. The MGMT interfaces and console ports on both SMMs are
always available.
Each FIM and FPM and the S MMs have a Shelf Management Controller (SMC). These SMCs support I PMB
communication between the active SMM and the FIMs and FPMs and other chassis components for s toring and sharing
sensor data that the SMM uses to control chassis cooling and power distribution. The FortiGate-7000F also includes
serial communications to allow console access from the SMM to all FIMs and FPMs.
The base backplane includes 1Gbps ethernet management connections between the SMMs and the FIMs. T he base
backplane also supports 50Gbps Ethernet communication for management and heartbeat communication
between FIMs and FPMs.
FIM1 and FIM2 (IPMB addresses 0x82 and 0x84) are the FIM interface modules in slots 1 and 2. FIM data interfaces
connect the chassis to data networks. NP7 processors in the FIMs use session-aware load balancing (SLBC) to
distribute data sessions over the FIM Integrated Switch Fabric (ISF) to the 10x400Gbps connections over the fabric
backplane to the FPMs. Data communication between FIM1 and FIM2 occurs over a 1TB fabric connection.
The FIM 1Gbps MGMT1 and MGNT2 interfaces are used for Ethernet management access to chassis components. The
2x100Gbps M1 and M2 interfaces are used for HA heartbeat communication between chassis. The 2x25Gbps M3 and
M4 interfaces are used for remote logging or other management functions.
FPM3 to FPM12 (IPMB addresses 0x86 to 0x98) are the FPM processor modules in slots 3 to 12. These worker modules
process sessions distributed to them over the fabric backplane by the NP7 processors in the FIMs. FPMs include NP7
processors to offload sessions from the FPM CPU and CP9 processors that accelerate content processing. FPMs also
include data interfaces that increase the number of data interfaces supported by the FortiGate-7000F. Data sessions
received by the FPM data interfaces are sent over the fabric backplane to the F IM NP7 processors t o be load balanced
back to the FPMs using SLBC.

Chassis hardware information

This section introduces FortiGate-7000F hardware components and accessories including power requirements and
FIMs and FPMs that can be installed in the chassis.

Shipping components

The FortiGate-7000F chassis ships pre-assembled with the following components:
The 16U FortiGate-7000F chassis.
l
Two FIMs.
l
Up to ten FPMs.
l
Two System Management Modules (SMMs) in the front of the chassis. (SMMs are not field replacable. If a SMM
l
fails, you must RMA the chassis. The chassis will continue to operate with one or no operating SMMs.)
Eight 2000W Power Supply Units (PSUs) installed in the front of the chassis.
l
Six cooling fan trays installed in the back of the chassis.
l
One protective front panel installed in the chassis to protect internal chassis components. This panel must be
l
removed before installing FIMs and FPMs.
Eight FPM blank panels that can be installed in empty chassis slots 3 to 12. E ight panels are included because all
l
FortiGate-7000F packages include 2 or more FPMs. You can purchase additional FPM black panels.
Eight power cords with C15 power connectors.
