Changing jumper settings
50
Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them.
However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001SX from a FortiGate-5140 or
FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3
jumper.
Also, if a new FortiGate-5001SX module does not function properly, you should
check the JP3 jumper settings.

Chassis
Correct JP3
Jumper Setting
FortiGate-5140 pins 2 and 3
FortiGate-5050 pins 2 and 3
FortiGate-5020 pins 1 and 2
Note: If the shelf manager in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis is missing or not
functioning, FortiGate-5001SX modules with JP3 jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 will not
start up. To operate FortiGate-5001SX modules in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050
chassis without a shelf manager, set the JP3 jumper to connect pins 1 and 2.
To change or verify the JP3 jumper setting
To complete this procedure, you need:
•
A FortiGate-5001SX module
•
A tool for moving jumpers (optional)
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with
connection cord
Caution: FortiGate-5000 series and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules must be protected
from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5000 series
and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded
electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling FortiGate-5000
series or FortiSwitch-5000 series modules.
1
Attach the ESD wrist or ankle strap to your wrist or ankle and to an ESD socket or
to a bare metal surface on a chassis or frame.
2
If you have installed the FortiGate-5001SX module in a chassis, remove it.
For removal instructions, see
chassis" on page
55.
3
Use
Figure 28
to locate the jumper settings on the module circuit board.
4
If required, carefully move the jumper to the correct setting.
5
You can now insert the module into a chassis and verify that it is operating
correctly.
For inserting instructions, see
chassis" on page
51.
