Fortigate-7081F Chassis; Fortigate-7081F Front Panel - Fortinet FortiGate-7000F Series System Manual

FortiGate-7081F chassis

The FortiGate-7081F is a 12U 19-inch rackmount 8-slot chassis with a 1Tbps fabric backplane and 50Gbps base
backplane designed by Fortinet. The fabric backplane provides network data communication among chassis slots and
the base backplane provides management and synchronization communication among the chassis slots.

The FortiGate-7081F chassis is managed by two redundant System Management Modules (SMMs 1 and 2). Each SMM
includes an ethernet connection as well as two switchable console ports that provide console connections to the
modules in the chassis slots. The active SMM controls chassis cooling and power management and provides an
interface for managing the FIMs and FPMs in the chassis.
Power is provided to the chassis using six hot swappable 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 16A, 2500W AC power supply units
(PSUs).
An operating FortiGate-7081F includes two Fortinet Interface Modules (FIMs) in slots 1 and 2. The FortiGate-7081F
supports the FIM-7921F and FIM-7941F.
An operating FortiGate-7081F also includes up to six Fortinet Processor Modules (FPMs) in slots 3 to 8. The FortiGate-
7081F supports the FPM-7620F.

Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Do not operate the FortiGate-7081F chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, chassis front panel slots 1 and 2 must contain FIMs
or FIM blank panels (also called dummy cards). Front panel slots 3 to 8 must contain FPMs or
FPM blank panels. In addition, all cooling fan trays, power supplies or power supply slot
covers must be installed while the chassis is operating. The FPM blank panels shipped with
the chassis should be kept available in case an FPM is removed from the chassis. If an FIM or
FPM fails and you don't have a replacement FIM or FPM or an available blank panel, you
should keep the failed FIM or FPM in the chassis slot until you receive a replacement.
