The FortiGate-5001FA2 module comes supplied with four fiber or four copper SFP
transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001FA2 interfaces 1 to 4, you
must insert the SFP transceivers into the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel cage
slots numbered 1 to 4.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 module ships with two RAM DIMMs installed on the
FortiGate-5001FA2 circuit board. You should confirm that the RAM DIMMs are
installed correctly before inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 module into a chassis.
From the FortiGate-5001FA2 font panel you can view the status of the front panel
LEDs to verify that the module is functioning normally. You also connect the
FortiGate-5001FA2 module to your network through the front panel ethernet
connectors. The front panel also includes the RS-232 console port for connecting
to the FortiOS CLI and a USB port. The USB port can be used with a Fortinet USB
key. For information about using the FortiUSB key, see the
Firmware and FortiUSB Guide.

LED State Description
PWR Green The FortiGate-50012FA2 module is powered on.
ACC Off or The ACC LED flashes red when the FortiGate-5001FA2
Flashing module accesses the FortiOS flash disk. The FortiOS flash
red disk stores the current FortiOS firmware build and
configuration files. The system accesses the flash disk when
starting up, during a firmware upgrade, or when an
administrator is using the CLI or GUI to change the FortiOS
configuration. Under normal operating conditions this LED
flashes occasionally, but is mostly off.
STA Green Normal operation.
Red The FortiGate-5001FA2 is booting or a fault condition exists.
IPM Blue The FortiGate-5001FA2 is ready to be hot-swapped (removed
from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no other LEDs
are lit the FortiGate-5001FA2 module has lost power, possibly
because of a loose or incorrectly aligned left extraction lever.
Flashing The FortiGate-5001FA2 is changing from hot swap to running
Blue mode or from running mode to hot swap.
Off Normal operation. The FortiGate-5001FA2 module is in
contact with the chassis backplane.
1, 2, 3, 4 Green The correct cable is connected to the gigabit SFP interface.
Flashing Network activity at the gigabit SFP interface.
5, 6, Link Green The correct cable is inserted into this interface and the
connected equipment has power.
7, 8 LED
Flashing Network activity at this interface.
Speed Green The interface is connected at 1000 Mbps.
LED
Amber The interface is connected at 100 Mbps.
Unlit The interface is connected at 10 Mbps.
