FortiGate-5050 chassis

FortiGate-5050 chassis
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 FortiGate gigabit ethernet interfaces. If all 5 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports ten 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2 modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports another ten 10-Gigabit interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board in the FortiGate-5050 chassis to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and for data communications. 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 14 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 shelf managers

The FortiGate-5050 chassis includes one or two redundant hot-swappable shelf managers, located in the dedicated shelf manager slots on the bottom of the FortiGate-5050 front panel. The primary shelf manager is installed on the right (SMC 1) the secondary shelf manager is installed on the left (SMC 2).
The shelf managers support redundant operation with automatic switchover. If both shelf managers are operating normally, one acts as the active shelf manager and the other as the standby. Usually the primary shelf manager would be the active shelf manager and the secondary shelf manager would be the standby shelf manager. The shelf managers monitor each other and either can trigger a switchover if necessary. The active shelf manager performs all shelf manager functions. If the active shelf manager fails or is removed, the standby shelf manager takes over all shelf manager functions.
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers control chassis power up and power down, chassis power distribution, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and control chassis cooling, and can signal alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the chassis communicate with the shelf managers.
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers are factory installed. In most cases users do not have to install or configure the shelf managers.
Each shelf manager has two ethernet interfaces (ETH 0 and ETH 1). You can connect to ETH 0 from the shelf manager front panel. ETH 1 connects to the FortiGate-5050 backplane.
The shelf managers detect alarm conditions and communicate alarm signals to the FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel. The shelf alarm panel also contains serial interfaces for connecting to the shelf managers.
The shelf managers are hot swappable. You can remove a shelf manager by opening the extraction lever until the hot swap LED starts blinking. When the hot swap LED turns solid blue you can remove the shelf manager from the FortiGate-5050 chassis.

Shelf Manager fan and power control

The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers monitor the internal temperature of the FortiGate-5050 chassis and adjust the operating speed of the FortiGate-5050 chassis cooling fan as required. If the temperature in the chassis becomes too high, the shelf managers can also power down FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the chassis to help reduce the temperature.
When the chassis is first powered on all cooling fans run at full speed. Once the shelf manager is up and running, the shelf manager reduces cooling fan speeds to maintain an optimum temperature in the chassis. If shelf managers are not installed or not operating correctly the FortiGate-5050 chassis cooling fans always operate at full speed.
The FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel (SAP), located at the bottom of the FortiGate-5050 front panel, provides LED indicators of FortiGate-5050 alarms, a telco alarm connector, an alarm LED reset button, and console access to the FortiGate-5050 shelf managers. The LED alarm indicators include critical, major, and minor alarms as well as three user defined alarms.
The alarm LED reset button (RESET) on the shelf alarm panel activates the Alarm Cutoff (ACO) state. When ACO is activated, the active alarm LEDs blink and all of the alarm relays are deactivated.

Shelf alarm panel telco alarms

The shelf alarm panel telco alarm interface relay circuits are capable of carrying 60 VDC or 1 A with a max. rating of 30 VA. The shelf alarm panel accepts timed pulse inputs for clearing minor and major alarm states. Reset is accomplished by asserting a voltage differential from 3.3 V to 48 V for between 200 and 300 ms. The acceptance voltage range is from 0 to 48 VDC continuous (handles up to 60 VDC at a 50% duty cycle). The current drawn by a reset input does not exceed 12 mA.
The alarm LED reset button activates the alarm cutoff (ACO) state for major, minor, and user-defined alarms. You cannot reset critical alarms with the alarm LED reset button.
When the ACO state is activated, active alarm LEDs blink and all of the alarm relays are deactivated. The alarm reset button activates the ACO state but does not clear the alarm completely.

Shelf manager command line interface (CLI)

You can use the shelf manager CLI to communicate with the intelligent management controllers of the chassis, with boards in the chassis, and with the shelf manager itself. The CLI is an IPMI-based set of commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management application or a script. Using the CLI, you can access information about the current state of the chassis including current board population, current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall chassis health.

Connecting to the shelf manager CLI using a serial port

About data center DC power

The FortiGate-5050 chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar location that has available -48VDC power (also called battery power). Fortinet expects that most FortiGate-5050 customers will be installing their FortiGate equipment in a data center or similar location that is already equipped with a -48VDC power system that provides power to existing networking or telecom equipment. The FortiGate-5050 chassis are designed to be connected directly to this DC power system.
In this document, data center DC power refers to a -48VDC power system that is already available at the location at which the FortiGate-5050 chassis is being installed.

Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power and data center ground

Connect the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power using the redundant power input connectors on the FortiGate-5050 back panel. Fortinet supplies and recommends AWG-14 stranded wires for all power connections: Black for -48VDC and red for RTN. Green AWG-6 wires are recommended for ground connections. If required, install terminal lugs on the wires before connecting them to the power input connectors.

Power connection and configuration
The back panel also includes three AC power connectors numbered 1, 2, 3. The AC connector numbering corresponds to the slot numbering showing in Figure 10. Each connector connects AC power directly to a FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply. The FortiGate-5053 can contain 1, 2, or 3 FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies depending on your requirements. You should only connect AC power to the power supplies that are installed.
AC input power characteristics:
AC input voltage: 110 to 250 VAC
AC input current: 10A
Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz

Selecting the power supplies and power converter trays that you need for your FortiGate-5050 configuration

This section provides some basic information for determining how many FortiGate-5053 power converter trays and FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies that you need, depending on the power requirements of your FortiGate-5050 chassis. This section provides guidelines only. Actual requirements may vary depending on your installation requirements. Contact Fortinet Technical Support if you need more information.
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray contains space for up to three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies. A FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply converts AC power to -48 VDC power. Each FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply provides 800W of power.
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray uses 2 + 1 power supply redundancy. If three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray, the first two power supplies provide a total of 1600W (2 x 800W) of power. The third power supply is the redundant backup.
The maximum power output for a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray with FortiGate­5020/5050 power supplies is 1600W; which can be achieved with two FortiGate­5020/5050 power supplies. If you need 1600W of power and power supply redundancy, you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
Individual power requirements vary. If 800W is enough power and redundancy is not required, you need one FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and one FortiGate­5020/5050 power supply.
If 800W is sufficient but a redundant power supply is required, you can add a second FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply. This second power supply will also cover power requirements between 800 and 1600W. If you require redundant power greater than 800W you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
Basic power requirements
To supply enough power for a FortiGate-5050 chassis with a total of five FortiGate modules and FortiSwitch modules you require one FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and two FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies (see Figure 12). The FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in FortiGate-5053 slots 1 and 2. This configuration supplies 1600W of power to the FortiGate-5020/5050 chassis.
Note: If your will not be filling all of the FortiGate-5050 slots you may not need both FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.

10 Re-attach the protection plate to the FortiGate-5050 power input connector.
11 Attach the clear plastic cover to the back of the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray.
12 Connect the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray to AC power.
Only connect the power supplies that are installed in the FortiGate-5053 to AC power. For example, if your FortiGate-5053 includes two FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies, the power supplies will be installed in slots 1 and 2. In this case you should only connect AC in connectors 1 and 2 to AC power. If your FortiGate-5053 power converter tray contains three power supples, connect all three AC in connectors to AC power.
The photograph in Figure 17 shows the back panel of a FortiGate-5053 wired to provide power to a FortiGate-5050 chassis. This photograph also shows the clear back cover of the FortiGate-5053 installed. You should install this cover using the mounting hardware provided. Install the cover after connecting the power but before turning the power on.

Turning on FortiGate-5050 chassis power

Figure 17: Wiring the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
To connect the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center ground
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray does not have a ground connector. So, even if you are using a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray to supply DC power to your FortiGate-5050, you must use the procedure “To connect the FortiGate-5050 chassis to
data center ground” on page 17 to connect the FortiGate-5050 to data center ground.
Turning on FortiGate-5050 chassis power
If you are using a FortiGate-5053 power converter, connect the FortiGate-5053 power converter to AC power. When the FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies start up the power supply fans should begin operating. Each FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply has two front panel power LEDs (see Figure 10 on page 18). When the FortiGate-5053 power converter is operating normally, both of the FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply LEDs should be lit for each connected power supply.
If you are using data center DC power, turn own the power to the chassis according to the requirements of your data center DC power system.
Once the FortiGate-5050 chassis is connected to DC power you can turn on power to the chassis by switching on the circuit breakers at the back of the chassis (see Figure 2 on
page 7 for location of the circuit breakers).
The FortiGate-5050 chassis powers up. If the FortiGate-5050 is operating correctly, the Power LED on the right side of the chassis front panel should be lit (see Figure 1 on
page 6). As well, the Status LED on the FortiGate-5050 shelf manager front panels should
be lit (see Figure 3 on page 9). None of the LEDs on the shelf alarm panel (SAP) should be lit (see Figure 4 on page 10).
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating.
In addition, if any FortiGate-5000 series modules have been installed in the chassis they should power on and their front panel LEDs should indicate that they are operating normally.

FortiGate-5050 hardware procedures Mounting the FortiGate-5050 chassis

FortiGate-5050 hardware procedures

This chapter assumes the chassis has been mounted and connected to a power source as detailed in “Power connection and configuration” on page 15.
This chapter discusses:
Mounting the FortiGate-5050 chassis
Inserting 5000 series modules into a FortiGate-5050 chassis
Using FortiSwitch-5003A and FortiSwitch-5003 boards for backplane communication

Mounting the FortiGate-5050 chassis

Note: Mount the FortiGate chassis before installing the FortiGate-5000 series modules.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The chassis requires 5U of vertical space in the rack.
If you install the FortiGate-5050 chassis in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
Caution: The FortiGate-5050 chassis should not be operated as a free-standing appliance.
Caution: Install the FortiGate-5050 chassis at the lower positions in the rack to avoid
making the rack top-heavy and potentially falling over.

Air flow

For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the FortiGate-5050 chassis is not compromised.

Inserting 5000 series modules into a FortiGate-5050 chassis

You can insert FortiGate and FortiSwitch-5000 boards into the FortiGate-5050 chassis. Arrange the boards in slots as required for your configuration. FortiGate-5000 series boards can be installed in any FortiGate-5050 slots. FortiSwitch boards can only be installed in switch slots 1 and 2.
Your FortiGate-5050 chassis may have been shipped with temporary slot filler panels that include a warning message to read the FortiGate-5000 documentation before installing your product. The temporary slot fillers must be removed and all slots filled; either with FortiGate-5000 series boards or with air baffle slot fillers. Air baffle slot fillers are similar to blank FortiGate-5000 boards and are required for proper cooling air flow.

Using FortiSwitch-5003A and FortiSwitch-5003 boards for backplane communication FortiGate-5050 hardware procedures
Caution: FortiGate-5000 series and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5000 series and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling FortiGate-5000 series or FortiSwitch-5000 series modules.
Caution: Do not operate the FortiGate-5050 chassis with open slots on the front panel or rear panel. For optimum cooling performance and safety, front panel slots must contain a FortiGate-5000 series module or an air baffle slot filler and rear panel slots must either be covered or must contain a rear transition module or slot filler. As well the removable PEM terminal block covers must be installed over the power connectors on the back of the chassis.

Using FortiSwitch-5003A and FortiSwitch-5003 boards for backplane communication

FortiSwitch-5003A boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis in slot 1 or slot 2 provide fabric backplane switching for all of the FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in chassis slots 3 and above. Fabric backplane switching is most often used for data communication between FortiGate-5000 series boards in a chassis, between chassis, and between the chassis and the network.
FortiSwitch-5003A and 5003 boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis in slot 1 or slot 2 provide base backplane switching for all of the FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in chassis slots 3 and above. Base backplane switching is usually used for HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5000 series boards in HA clusters.
For complete information about using the FortiSwitch-5003A and 5003 for backplane communications (including the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI reference), see the
FortiSwitch-5003A and 5003 Fabric and Base Backplane Communication Guide.
