You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series modules in the five slots of the
FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount
ATCA chassis that contains two redundant DC power connections that connect to
-48 VDC Data Center DC power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot
swappable cooling fan tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5005FA2,
FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2 modules, the FortiGate-5050 chassis
provides a total of 40 Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003 module in the FortiGate-5050 chassis to
provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can
be used for HA heartbeat communications and for data communications. You can
add a second FortiSwitch-5003 module for redundancy. The First
FortiSwitch-5003 module should be installed in slot 2, the second in slot 1. If
FortiSwitch-5003 modules are included you can install up to three FortiGate-5000
series modules in slots 3, 4, and 5.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series modules in the
FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2
modules, two FortiGate-5001SX modules, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 module.
You can also install FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 modules in a
FortiGate-5050 chassis to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the modules installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis can be operating in a
FortiGate HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units.
You can also operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a
single FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can also use the FortiSwitch-5003 module to
operate HA clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in
multiple FortiGate-5050 chassis.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes 5 backplane slots which are used by
some FortiGate-5000 series modules.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power
is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased
separately) with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.
