The FortiGate-5002FB2 security system module is a high-performance FortiGate
security system with accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement for
two of its six Gigabit ethernet interfaces. Accelerated packet forwarding and policy
enforcement results in accelerated small packet performance required for voice,
video, and other multimedia streaming applications.
The FortiGate-5002FB2 module supports high-end features including 802.1Q
VLANs and multiple virtual domains. You can also configure two or more
FortiGate-5002FB2 modules to create a high availability (HA) cluster to provide
failover protection and load balancing. HA clustering uses two internal gigabit
interfaces for HA communication through the FortiGate-5000 series chassis
backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit interfaces available for network
connections.
The FortiGate-5002FB2 module includes the following features:
• A total of six gigabit interfaces
• Two accelerated 1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces
1 and 2)
• Four 1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces 3, 4, 5, and
6)
• RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection
• USB connector
• Mounting hardware
• LED status indicators
The FortiGate-5002FB2 is shipped with two RAM DIMs. You must install the RAM
DIMMs into the slots provided on the FortiGate-5002FB2 circuit board before
inserting the FortiGate-5002FB2 module into your FortiGate-5000 series chassis.
This chapter includes the following information about the FortiGate-5002FB2
module:
• Front panel LEDs and connectors

• Inserting a FortiGate-5002FB2 module into a chassis
• Removing a FortiGate-5002FB2 module from a chassis
• Troubleshooting
From the FortiGate-5002FB2 font panel you can view the status of the module
LEDs to verify that the module is functioning normally. You also connect the
FortiGate-5002FB2 module to your network through the front panel ethernet
connections. The front panel also includes the RJ-45 console port for connecting
to the FortiOS CLI and a USB port.
