Front panel LEDs and connectors FortiGate-5001FA2 security system The FortiGate-5001FA2 board comes supplied with four optical or four copper SFP transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001FA2 interfaces 1 to 4, you must insert the SFP transceivers into the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel cage slots numbered 1 to 4. The FortiGate-5001FA2 board ships with two RAM DIMMs installed on the FortiGate-5001FA2 circuit board. You should confirm that the RAM DIMMs are installed correctly before

Hardware installation RAM DIMMs Hardware installation Before use, the FortiGate-5001FA2 board must be correctly inserted into an Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ACTA) chassis such as the FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis. Before inserting the board into a chassis you should make sure RAM DIMMS are installed and FortiGate-5001FA2 jumpers are set. SFP transceivers must also be installed for interfaces 1 to 4 before these interfaces can be connected

Changing FortiGate-5001FA2 jumper settings Hardware installation Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them. However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001FA2 from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3 jumper. Also, if a new FortiGate-5001FA2 board does not function properly, you should check the JP3 jumper settings. Table 3: FortiGate-5001FA2 JP3 jumper settings for each chassis Chassis Correct JP3 Re

Troubleshooting Hardware installation All chassis: Firmware problem If the FortiGate-5001FA2 board power switch is connected and the JP3 jumper and shelf manager are set as required, and the FortiGate-5001FA2 still does not start up, the problem could be with FortiOS. Connect to the FortiGate-5001FA2 console and try cycling the power to the board. If the BIOS starts up, interrupt the BIOS startup and install a new firmware image.
