The chassis can be connected to the network using any of the FortiGate front
panel interfaces. You can also connect FortiSwitch-5003A front panel fabric
interfaces to the network. You can also install FortiGate AMC modules in the
FortiGate-5001A boards and connect networks to the AMC front panel interfaces.
The AMC modules and the network connections are not shown in
