The FortiGate-5001B 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. When the right (bottom) handle is
fully closed the microswitch is on and if the board is fully inserted into a chassis slot the
board can receive power.
You can use front panel reset switch to cycle the power and reset the board without
removing the board from the chassis. See
page 19.
The FortiGate-5001B board must be fully installed in a chassis slot, with the handles
closed and locked and retention screws fully tightened for the FortiGate-5001B board to
receive power and operate normally. If the FortiGate-5001B board is not receiving power,
the IPM LED glows solid blue and all other LEDs remain off. See
components" on page 7.
It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate-5001B board all the way into the chassis, to
avoid using excessive force on the handles, and to make sure that the handles are
properly locked. Only then will the FortiGate-5001B board power-on and start up
correctly.
FortiGate-5001B boards are hot swappable. The procedure for inserting
a FortiGate-5001B board into a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is
powered on.
