System Management Module Failure; System Management Module Leds - Fortinet FortiGate-7000F Series System Manual

FortiGate-7081F System Management Module
authorization from the active SMM and the active SMM controls the power supplied by the chassis power systems to the
modules.
Each module in the chassis includes its own module Shelf Manager Controller (SMC) Serial Debug Interface (SDI) or
SMC SDI console that communicates with the SMM SMC SDI. You can connect a serial cable to the active SMM console
ports to connect to the SMM SMC SDI and to connect to each module's SMC SDI console. You can also interact with the
SMC SDI consoles using an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tool.

System Management Module failure

If one or both of the SMMs fails, you should RMA the chassis. The chassis and the modules in it will continue to operate
with one or no functioning SMMs until you can replace the chassis. If there is no functioning SMM, the chassis fans
operate at maximum speed and the FIM and FPM modules in the chassis switch to standalone mode and manage their
own power.

Description
The SMM is powered off or not initialized.
The SMM is not operating normally either because it is starting up or because it has
failed.
The active SMM cannot communicate with the passive SMM.
The SMM has started up and is operating normally.
The SMM is passive.
No alarms
One or more analog sensors in the chassis or on a module in the chassis (other
than PSUs) have surpassed a critical or non-recoverable (NR) threshold causing an
alarm. When a critical threshold has been reached, it means that a condition has
been detected that has surpassed an operating tolerance. For example, a
temperature has increased above the allowed operating temperature range.
One or more analog sensors in the chassis or on a module in the chassis (excluding
PSUs) has surpassed a major or critical (CR) threshold. Any sensor, including
sensors on PSUs, has generated an alert. Sensor alert criteria is defined per
sensor. For analog sensors, alerts usually mean passing an upper critical (UC) or
lower critical (LC) threshold. For other sensors, an alert could mean a flag bit is
indicating an anomaly.
