Recommended slot locations for FIMs

If you are installing different FIMs in the FortiGate-7060E chassis, for optimal configuration you should install the FIM
with the lower model number in slot 1 and the module with the higher model number in slot 2.
For example:
FortiGate-7060E 6.4.2 System Guide
Do not operate the FortiGate-7060E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis front panel slot must contain an FIM
or FPM or an FIM or FPM blank panel (also called a dummy card). In addition, all cooling fan
trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be installed while the chassis is
operating. The FIM and FPM blank panels are part of the chassis package and all blank
panels should be kept available in case an FIM or FPM is removed from the chassis.

You must carefully slide the FIM or FPM 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 modules must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only
handle or work with these modules at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded
electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling modules.
