The FortiGate-5001A-DW includes one AMC double-width slot filler that must be
installed in the double-width AMC slot if you do not have a FortiGate ADM module.
Either a filler or an AMC module must be installed for proper cooling air flow.
To install an AMC slot filler
To complete this procedure, you need:
• FortiGate-5001A board with an empty AMC slot
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
Caution: FortiGate-5001A boards must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001A boards at a static-free workstation.
Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when
handling FortiGate-5001A boards.
Note: When closed, the FortiGate-5001A left handle blocks the AMC opening. You must
eject the FortiGate-5001A board from its chassis slot and completely open the left handle
before inserting or removing AMC modules or slot fillers.
1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
2 Eject the FortiGate-5001A board from the chassis slot.
3 Completely open the FortiGate-5001A left handle.
4 Pull the latch on the slot filler front panel to the extended position.
5 Insert the slot filler by applying moderate force to the front faceplate to slide the
slot filler into the opening.
The slot filler should glide smoothly into the opening. If you encounter any
resistance while sliding the slot filler in, the slot filler could be aligned incorrectly.
Pull the slot filler back out and try inserting it again.
6 Press the latch in the slot filler front panel to lock in the slot filler.
The following steps describe how to install an AMC module into your
FortiGate-5001A board.
Insert the fiber transceivers into the module before inserting the module into the
FortiGate unit. For details on installing the transceivers, see the
for the module.
