FortiGate-7030E System Management Module
The FortiGate-7030E chassis includes a System Management Module (SMM) or shelf manager, located at the top right
of the chassis front panel. The SMM is factory installed and configured and is not field replaceable.

The SMM communicates with module SMCs in the chassis, each of which is responsible for local management of one
or more Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), including FIM and FPM modules, fan trays, and power supplies. Management
communication within a chassis occurs over the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB).
The SMM includes LED indicators that report on the status of many of the chassis components, including fan trays and
power supplies. You can also use the SMM console ports to connect to the SMM CLI and to the CLI of the modules in
chassis slots 1 to 6.
The SMM controls chassis power allocation, monitors chassis operating parameters, monitors and controls chassis
cooling, and generates alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FIM and FPM modules installed in the chassis
communicate with the SMM through the module's IPMB. FIM and FPM module power on/off requires authorization
from the SMM and the 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 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.
