Inserting a FortiGate-5001C board
16
To insert a FortiGate-5001C board into a chassis slot
Do not carry the FortiGate-5001C board by holding the handles or retention screws.
When inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001C board from a chassis slot, handle the
board by the front panel. The handles are not designed for carrying the board. If the
handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001C board may not align correctly in
the chassis slot.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5001C board
• An ATCA chassis with an empty slot
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
FortiGate-5001C boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001C boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001C boards.
1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist strap
terminal.
2 If required, remove the protective metal frame that the FortiGate-5001C board has
been shipped in.
3 Insert the FortiGate-5001C board into the empty slot in the chassis.
4 Unlock the handles by squeezing the handle locks.
5 Open the handles to their fully open positions.
To avoid damaging the lock, make sure you squeeze the handles fully to unlock them
before opening. The handles should pop easily out of the board front panel.

6 Carefully guide the board into the chassis using the rails in the slot.
Insert the board by applying moderate force to the front faceplate (not the handles) to
slide the board into the slot. The board should glide smoothly into the chassis slot. If
you encounter any resistance while sliding the board in, the board could be aligned
incorrectly. Pull the board back out and try inserting it again.
7 Slide the board in until the alignment pins are inserted half way into their sockets in
the chassis.
