Before use, the FortiGate-5001B board must be correctly inserted into an Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) chassis that can provide sufficient
power and cooling (for example, the FortiGate-5060 chassis or the NEBS-compliant
FortiGate-5140-R chassis).

Installing SFP+ transceivers
Troubleshooting
The FortiGate-5001B board ships with two SR SFP+ transceivers that you must install for
normal operation of the FortiGate-5001B front panel interfaces (port1 to port8). Since the
board is shipped with 2 SPT+ interfaces, if you want to connect more than 2 front panel
interfaces you should purchase and install additional compatible SFP+ transceivers for
these interfaces. You can also configure front panel interfaces to operated at 1-gigabit
and install SFP transceivers.
The SFP transceivers are inserted into cage sockets numbered 1 to 8 on the
FortiGate-5001B front panel. You can install the SFP transceivers before or after inserting
the FortiGate-5001B board into a FortiGate-5000 series or other ATCA chassis.
You can install the following types of SFP transceivers for connectors 1 to 8:
• SFP+ SR (10 gigabits)
• SFP+ LR (10 gigabits)
• SFP (1gigabit)
To install SFP+ transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5001B board
• Two or more SFP+ or SFP transceivers
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with connection cord
FortiGate-5001B boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001B boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001B boards.
