Inserting 5000-series modules into a FortiGate-5140 chassis

FortiGate-5140 Chassis Guide
01-30000-0396-20070201
This chapter assumes the chassis has been mounted and connected to a power
source as detailed in "Power connection and configuration" on page
This chapter discusses:
• Mounting the FortiGate-5140 chassis
• Inserting 5000-series modules into a FortiGate-5140 chassis
• Use FortiSwitch-5003 modules for base backplane communication
Note: Mount the FortiGate chassis before connecting power and installing the
FortiGate-5000 series modules.
The FortiGate-5140 chassis must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The
chassis requires 12U of vertical space in the rack.
If you install the FortiGate-5140 chassis in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does
not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
Caution: The FortiGate-5140 chassis should not be operated as a free-standing appliance.
Caution: Install the FortiGate-5140 chassis at the lower positions in the rack to avoid
making the rack top-heavy and potentially falling over.
For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the FortiGate-5140 chassis is not compromised.
You can insert FortiGate-5000 series and FortiSwitch-5003 modules into the
FortiGate-5140 chassis. Arrange the modules in slots as required for your
configuration. FortiGate-5000 series modules can be installed in any
FortiGate-5140 slots. FortiSwitch-5003 modules can only be installed in slots 1
and 2.
