01-30000-83466-20090108
The FortiGate-5005FA2 security system serves as the worker board for the
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Worker boards are identically configured
and administered as a single unit from the primary I/O board. Workers are
typically installed in slots 3 and above, though FortiGate-5005FA2 security
systems with only one I/O board can also have a worker installed in slot 2.
The worker boards apply all of the FortiGate security system functionality to traffic
passing through the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Traffic is distributed to
the worker boards by the I/O boards. The worker boards perform FortiGate
functions such as applying firewall policies, virus scanning, IPS and routing to
distributed traffic.
