You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series boards in the five slots of the
FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount ATCA
chassis that contains two redundant DC power connections that connect to -48 VDC Data
Center DC power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot swappable cooling fan
tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5005FA2, FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2
boards, the FortiGate-5050 chassis provides a total of 40 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate
interfaces. If all 5 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis
supports 10 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2
modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports up to ten
10-Gigabit interfaces
You can also install FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards in the FortiGate-5050
chassis slots 1 and 2 to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane
communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and data communications
using FortiGate-5050 base backplane channels. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003A
or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A boards can also provide
fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5050 fabric backplane channels.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the
FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2 boards,
two FortiGate-5001SX boards, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 board. You can also install
FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5050 chassis to create
a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis can be operating in a FortiGate
HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units. You can also
operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a single FortiGate-5050
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards to operate HA
clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A boards for fabric data communication
between chassis.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes 5 rear transition module (RTM) slots. The
FortiGate-5050 chassis supports 10-gigabit fabric channel communication if you have
installed FortiGate-5001A boards with FortiGate-RTM-XB2 modules and one or two
FortiSwitch-5003A boards.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power is not
available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased separately)
with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.

FortiGate-5050 back panel
Figure 2 shows the back panel of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The back panel includes two
redundant -48V to - 58V DC power input connectors labelled Input A and Input B. The
power input connectors provide redundant DC power connections for the FortiGate-5050
chassis and distribute DC power to the fan tray and the FortiGate-5000 series boards
installed in the FortiGate-5050 chassis. Each power input connector includes a 24 Amp
circuit breaker that also functions as an on/off switch for the power input connector.
If you require redundant power you should connect both power input connectors to DC
power. If redundant power is not required, you should connect power input connector A to
DC power. When operating, the power input connectors are covered with clear protection
plates.
