The FortiGate-5140 chassis is a 12U 19-inch rack mount ATCA chassis that
includes 14 slots for up to 14 FortiGate-5000 series modules (such as the
FortiGate-5001SX, FortiGate-5001FA2, and the FortiGate-5002FB2). If each
FortiGate-5000 module is operating as a standalone system, you can install any
combination of FortiGate-5000 series modules in these 14 slots. If all 14 slots
contain FortiGate-5001SX modules, the FortiGate-5140 chassis provides a total
of 112 Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003 module in the FortiGate-5140 chassis to
provide HA heartbeat communications. A single FortiSwitch-5003 module can
provide HA heartbeat communications for up to 13 FortiGate-5000 series modules
installed in the chassis. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003 module for
redundancy. The First FortiSwitch-5003 module is installed in slot 1, the second in
slot 2. If one FortiSwitch-5003 module is included you can install and provide HA
heartbeat communication for up to 13 FortiGate-5000 series modules in slots 2 to
14. If two FortiSwitch-5003 modules are included, you can install and provide HA
heartbeat communication for up to 12 FortiGate-5000 series modules in slots 3 to
14.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series modules in the
FortiGate-5140 chassis. For example, you could install six FortiGate-5001SX
modules, three FortiGate-5001FA2 and three FortiGate-5002FB2 modules.
Some of the modules installed in a FortiGate-5140 chassis can be operating in a
FortiGate HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units.
You can also operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a
single FortiGate-5140 chassis.
The FortiGate-5140 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-5140 power supplies.
