FIM-7901E interface module

The FIM-7901E interface module is a hot swappable module that provides data, management, and session
sync/heartbeat interfaces, base backplane switching, and fabric backplane session-aware load balancing for a
FortiGate-7000 series chassis. The FIM-7901E includes an integrated switch fabric and DP2 processors to load balance
millions of data sessions over the chassis fabric backplane to FPM processor modules. The FIM-7901E also includes a
1Gbps base backplane channel for base backplane management communication with each FPM module in the chassis,
one 40Gbps fabric backplane channel for fabric backplane communication with the FIM module(s) in the chassis, and a
second 1Gbps base backplane channel for base backplane communication with the FIM module(s) in the chassis.
The FIM-7901E can be installed in any FortiGate-7000 series chassis in chassis hub/switch slots 1 or 2. The FIM-7901E
provides thirty-two 10GigE small form-factor pluggable plus (SPF+) interfaces for a FortiGate-7000 chassis.
You can also install FIM-7901Es in a second chassis and operate the chassis in HA mode to provide chassis failover
protection.

Mounting hardware

Use the module levers, power sliders, and secure screws to insert, secure and remove the module from the chassis.

Module levers

Carefully slide the module all of the way into the chassis slot and fully close the module levers to seat the module into
the chassis slot and to connect the module to the chassis backplane connectors. When both module levers are fully
closed, the power sliders can be lowered to their bottom position, locking the module levers and turning on power to the
module.
