LED State Description
Fabric CH1 Off Fabric backplane interface 1 (fabric2) is connected at 10
Gbps.

Flashing board accesses the FortiOS flash disk. The FortiOS flash
green disk stores the current FortiOS firmware build and
configuration files. The system accesses the flash disk when
starting up, during a firmware upgrade, or when an
administrator is using the CLI or GUI to change the FortiOS
configuration. Under normal operating conditions this LED
flashes occasionally, but is mostly off.
Off Normal operation.
OOS

during normal startup.
Green The FortiCarrier-5001A board is powered on.
Power
Off The FortiCarrier-5001A board is powered on.
Status
Flashing The FortiCarrier-5001A is starting up. If this LED is flashing at
Green any time other than system startup, a fault condition may
exist.
Blue The FortiCarrier-5001A is ready to be hot-swapped (removed
IPM
from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no other LEDs
are lit the FortiCarrier-5001A board has lost power.
Flashing The FortiCarrier-5001A is changing from hot swap to running
Blue mode or from running mode to hot swap. This happens when
the FortiCarrier-5001A board is starting up or shutting down.
Off Normal operation. The FortiCarrier-5001A board is in contact
with the chassis backplane.

The FortiCarrier-5001A base backplane 1-gigabit interfaces can be used for HA
heartbeat communication between FortiCarrier-5001A boards installed in the
same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also configure
FortiCarrier-5001A boards to use the base backplane interfaces for data
communication among FortiGate and FortiCarrier boards. To support base
