The FortiGate-5001FA2 module ships with four SPF transceivers that you must
install for normal operation of the FortiGate-5001FA2 module. The SFP
transceivers are inserted into cage sockets numbered 1 to 4 on the
FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel. You can install the SFP transceivers before or
after inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 module into a FortiGate chassis.
You can install 1000Base-LX (single-mode fiber) or 1000Base-T (copper cable)
SFP transceivers. The 1000Base-LX transceivers use fiber connectors while the
1000Base-T transceivers use RJ-45 connectors.
To install SFP transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5001FA2 module
• Four SPF transceivers
• 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.
Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel.

Caution: Handling the SFP
connector.
Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide SFP transceiver into the cage
socket until it clicks into place.
The JP3 jumper on the FortiGate-5001FA2 module is factory set by Fortinet into
one of two positions (see Figure 33 on page
• For a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis, the jumper connects pins 2
and 3
• For a FortiGate-5020 chassis, the jumper connects pins 1 and 2
The jumper must connect pins 2 and 3 if the chassis contains a shelf manager.
Both the FortiGate-5140 and the FortiGate-5050 contain shelf managers, and the
FortiGate-5020 does not.
If the JP3 jumper settings are incorrect, when you insert the FortiGate-5001FA2
module into a chassis the module may not start up or may not be able to
communicate with the chassis shelf manager.
