You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series modules in the five slots of the
FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U chassis that contains
two redundant DC power connections that connect to -48 VDC Data Center DC
power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot swappable cooling fan
tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5001SX modules, the FortiGate-5050
chassis provides a total of 40 Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003 module in the FortiGate-5050 chassis to
provide HA heartbeat communications. A single FortiSwitch-5003 module can
provide HA heartbeat communications for up to three FortiGate-5000 series
modules in the chassis. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003 module for
redundancy. The first FortiSwitch-5003 module is installed in slot 2, the second in
slot 1.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power
is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased
separately) with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.
