(Gbps) throughput. The FortiGate-5140 chassis is a 14-slot ATCA chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis is a 5-slot ATCA chassis. In both chassis the FortiSwitch-5003A board is installed in the first and second hub/switch fabric slots. For most versions of the FortiGate-5140 and 5050 chassis the hub/switch fabric slots are slots 1 and 2. -

Troubleshooting Setting the FortiSwitch-5003A configuration switch The SW3 switch on the FortiSwitch-5003A board is factory set by Fortinet with the front panel 14/F8 interface enabled and the fabric backplane slot 14 disabled. This means you can connect the FortiSwitch-5003A front panel 14/F8 interface to a network but you cannot connect a FortiGate-5000 board in slot 14 to the fabric backplane. - Page 14 Front Faceplate If required, change SW3 to the required setting (see Figure 7 Figure Insert the FortiSwitch-5003A board into a chassis and verify that the board starts up and operates correctly.

Page 15: Fortiswitch-5003A Mounting Components
(right handle only) The FortiSwitch-5003A handles align the board in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject the board from the slot. The right (bottom) handle activates a microswitch that turns on or turns off power to the board. When the right (bottom) handle is open the microswitch is off and the board cannot receive power. -
Page 16: Inserting A Fortiswitch-5003A Board
LEDs remain off. See “Front panel LEDs and connectors” on page It is important to carefully seat the FortiSwitch-5003A board all the way into the chassis, to not use too much force on the handles, and to make sure that the handles are properly locked. - Page 17 Turn both handles to their fully-closed positions. The handles should hook into the sides of the chassis slot. Closing the handles draws the FortiSwitch-5003A board into place in the chassis slot and into full contact with the chassis backplane. The FortiSwitch-5003A front panel should be in contact with the chassis front panel.

FortiSwitch-5003A board from an ATCA chassis slot. FortiSwitch-5003A boards are hot swappable. The procedure for removing a FortiSwitch-5003A board from a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on. To remove a FortiSwitch-5003A board from a chassis slot Caution: Do not carry the FortiSwitch-5003A board by holding the handles or retention screws. - Page 19 Close Handle Handle Fully Closed and Locked Carefully slide the board completely out of the slot. Re-attach the protective metal frame if you are going ship the FortiSwitch-5003A board or store it outside of a chassis. FortiSwitch-5003A System Guide 01-30000-77803-20080917...

Page 20: Resetting A Fortiswitch-5003A Board
All chassis: Firmware problem If the FortiSwitch-5003A board is receiving power and the handles are fully closed, and you have restarted the chassis and the FortiSwitch-5003A still does not start up, the problem could be with FortiOS. Connect to the FortiSwitch-5003A console and try cycling the power to the board. -

Basic configuration Quick Configuration Guide Note: At any time during the configuration process, if you run into problems, you can reset the FortiSwitch-5003A board to the factory defaults and start over. From the CLI enter execute factory-reset. Basic configuration Use the serial cable supplied with your FortiSwitch-5003A board to connect the front panel RJ-45 COM port to the management computer serial port. -

Additional configuration You can use the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI to configure other basic system settings such as using config system global to set system time settings and change the system host name. Execute commands are also available for setting the system time and date and backing up the configuration. - Page 24 Additional configuration Quick Configuration Guide If you are using the FortiSwitch-5003A system for link aggregation or just to pass VLANs you need to use the config switch fabric-channel command.
