FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction
01-30000-83466-20090108
The FortiGate-5001SX security system is a high-performance FortiGate security
system with a total of 8 front panel gigabit ethernet interfaces and two base
backplane interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for connections to your
networks and the backplane interfaces for communication between
FortiGate-5000 series boards over the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane.
You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001SX boards to create a high
availability (HA) cluster using the base backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat
communication through chassis backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit
interfaces available for network connections.
The FortiGate-5001SX board also supports high-end FortiGate features including
802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces, and
FortiGate-5000 chassis monitoring.

• Four gigabit interfaces that can accept Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP)
fiber or copper transceivers (interfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4)
• Four 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces 5, 6,
7, and 8)
• Two base backplane gigabit interfaces (port9 and port10) for HA heartbeat and
data communications across the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane.
• DB-9 RS-232 serial console connection
• One USB connector
• Mounting hardware
• LED status indicators
The FortiGate-5001SX board comes supplied with four fiber or four copper SFP
transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001SX interfaces 1 to 4, you
must insert the SFP transceivers into the FortiGate-5001SX front panel cage slots
numbered 1 to 4.
