The following procedure describes how to correctly use the FortiGate-5001SX
mounting components shown in
from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot.
To remove a FortiGate-5001SX module from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis
FortiGate-5001SX modules are hot swappable. The procedure for removing the
FortiGate-5001SX module from a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot is the same
whether or not the FortiGate-5000 series chassis is powered on or not.
Caution: Do not carry the FortiGate-5001SX module by holding the extraction levers.
When inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001SX module from a chassis slot, handle the
module by the front panel. The extraction levers are designed for positioning and locking
the FortiGate-5001SX module into a slot in a chassis only and should not be used for
handling the module. If the extraction levers become bent or damaged the
FortiGate-5001SX module may not align correctly in the chassis slot and the left extraction
lever may not activate the power switch.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5000 series chassis with a FortiGate-5001SX module installed
• 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.
Attach the ESD wrist or ankle strap to your wrist or ankle and to an ESD socket or
to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
Disconnect all cables from the FortiGate-5001SX unit, including all network
cables, the console cable, and any USB cables or keys.
Fully loosen the mounting knots on the left and right sides of the
FortiGate-5001SX front panel.
Fully loosen the left extraction lever locking screw to unlock the left extraction
lever.
