The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers control chassis power up and power down,
chassis power distribution, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and
control chassis cooling, and can signal alarms if the chassis encounters problems.
All FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the chassis communicate with the shelf
managers.
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers are factory installed. In most cases users do
not have to install or configure the shelf managers.
Each shelf manager has two ethernet interfaces (ETH 0 and ETH 1). You can
connect to ETH 0 from the shelf manager front panel. ETH 1 connects to the
FortiGate-5050 backplane.
The shelf managers detect alarm conditions and communicate alarm signals to
the FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel. The shelf alarm panel also contains serial
interfaces for connecting to the shelf managers.
The shelf managers are hot swappable. You can remove a shelf manager by
opening the extraction lever until the hot swap LED starts blinking. When the hot
swap LED turns solid blue you can remove the shelf manager from the
FortiGate-5050 chassis.
