The FortiGate-5001SX port9 and port10 base backplane gigabit interfaces can be
used for HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001SX modules
installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also
configure FortiGate-5001SX modules to use the base backplane interfaces for
data communication between FortiGate modules. To support base backplane
communications your FortiGate-5140 or 5050 chassis must include one or more
FortiSwitch-5003 modules. FortiSwitch-5003 modules are installed in chassis
slots 1 and 2.
