FortiGate-7030E chassis
FIM modules
FIM modules are hot swappable interface modules that provide data and management interfaces, base backplane
switching and fabric backplane session-aware load balancing for the chassis. The FIM modules include an integrated
switch fabric and DP2 processors to load balance millions of data sessions over the chassis fabric backplane to FPM
processor modules. The following FIM modules are available for the FortiGate-7030E:
The FIM-7901E includes thirty-two front panel 10GigE SFP+ fabric channel interfaces (A1 to A32). These interfaces
l
are connected to 10Gbps networks. These interfaces can also be configured to operate as Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces using SFP transceivers.
The FIM-7920E includes four front panel 100GigE QSFP28 fabric channel interfaces (C1 to C4). These interfaces
l
can be connected to 100Gbps networks. Using a 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 or 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver,
each QSFP28 interface can also be split into four 10GBASE-SR interfaces and connected to 10Gbps networks.
FPM-7620E
The FPM-7620E is a hot swappable processor module that provides FortiOS firewalling and security services. FPMs in
the chassis function as workers, processing sessions load balanced to them by the FIMs. FPMs include multiple NP6
network processors and CP9 content processors to accelerate traffic.
FortiGate-7030E back panel
The FortiGate-7030E chassis back panel provides access to three hot swappable cooling fan trays and three hot
swappable AC or DC PSUs. A fourth slot is available for including a fourth power supply for additional redundancy. At
least two PSUs (PWR1 and PWR2) must be connected to power. PWR4 is a backup power supply. You can add a fourth
power supply to PWR3 to provide a second backup power supply. The back panel includes the FortiGate-7030E chassis
ground connector that must be connected to ground.
FortiGate-7030E 6.2.3 System Guide
Do not operate the FortiGate-7030E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis slot must contain an FIM or FPM or
an FIM or FPM blank panel (also called a dummy card). For the same reason, all cooling fan
trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be installed while the chassis is
operating.
