Chassis Overview
You can install up to 14 FortiGate-5000 series boards in the 14 slots of the
FortiGate-5140B ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5140B is a 13U 19-inch rackmount ATCA
chassis that contains two redundant hot swappable DC power entry Modules (PEMs).
The PEMs connect to -48V DC power and supply 300 W to each chassis slot. The
FortiGate-5140B chassis also includes four hot swappable front pluggable cooling fan
trays that provide 300W of cooling power per slot and a front replaceable air filter with
redundant pressure sensor. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001B boards, the
FortiGate-5140B chassis provides a total of 112 FortiGate 10-gigabit ethernet interfaces.
If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5101C boards, the FortiGate-5140B chassis provides a
total of 56 FortiGate 10-gigabit ethernet interfaces. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001C
boards, the FortiGate-5140B chassis provides a total of 28 FortiGate 10-gigabit ethernet
interfaces. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001D boards, the FortiGate-5140B chassis
provides a total of 28 40-gigabit ethernet interfaces.
You can also install FortiSwitch-5003B boards in FortiGate-5140B chassis slots 1 and 2
to provide base backplane communications using the dual star 1-gigabit base backplane
interface. Base backplane communications can be used for HA heartbeat and other
control communications and for data communications. FortiSwitch-5003B boards also
provide fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5140B fabric backplane
channels. The fabric backplane is a dual-star 10-Gigabit switch fabric.
For both base and fabric backplane communications you can install a single
FortiSwitch-5003B board in slot 1 and add a second board to slot 2 for redundancy.
These boards provide backplane switching for data communication between FortiGate5000 series boards and for HA clustering.
The FortiGate-5140B chassis supports the following load balancing solutions:
• FortiController-5103B boards can be installed in slots 1 and 2 to provide
session-aware load balancing (SLBC) for FortiGate-5001B, 5101C, or 5001C boards
in the chassis.
• FortiSwitch-5003B boards can be installed in slots 1 and 2 to form a Enhanced Load
Balancing Cluster (ELBC) to load balance traffic to multiple FortiGate-5001B, 5101C
or 5001C boards installed in the chassis
• FortiSwitch-5203B boards can be installed in slots 1 and 2 to support content
clustering to load balance traffic to multiple FortiGate-5001B boards installed in the
chassis.

Finally, you can add other Fortinet 5000 series boards to a FortiGate-5140B chassis,
including the 5000 series FortiMail and FortiManager boards.
Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5140B 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-5140B chassis.
The FortiGate-5140B chassis requires -48V DC power. If DC power is not available you
can install a FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf and PSU-5000B power supplies
(purchased separately).
FortiGate-5140B front panel
Figure 1 shows the front of a FortiGate-5140B chassis. Two FortiSwitch-5003B boards
are installed in slots 1 and 2 and 12 FortiGate-5001B boards are installed in slots 3 to 14.

• Chassis handles.
Do not operate the FortiGate-5140B chassis with open slots on the front panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, the chassis slots must contain a
FortiGate-5000 series board or an air baffle slot filler. For the same reason, all cooling
fan trays and the air filter should be installed while operating the chassis. As well both
PEMs must be installed in the back of the chassis.
Figure 2: FortiGate-5140B chassis back panel (cable tray not shown)
FortiGate-5140B chassis back panelFortiGate-5140B chassis
FortiGate-5140B chassis back panel
Figure 2 shows the back of a FortiGate-5140B chassis.
The FortiGate-5140B chassis back panel includes two redundant -48V to - 60 VDC
power entry modules (PEMs). Fortinet ships the FortiGate-5140B chassis with both
installed. The PEMs provide redundant DC power connections for the FortiGate-5140B
chassis and distribute DC power to all chassis slots and components.
If you require redundant power you should connect both PEMs to DC power. If redundant
power is not required, you can connect one of them. Each PEM includes two power
terminals, one for connecting to -48V/-60 VDC (labelled -) and one for connecting to RTN
(labelled +). To connect power to the PEMs see, “Power connection and configuration”
on page 21.
The back panel also contains 14 RTM slots numbered to correspond to the front panel
slots. The RTM slots are available for FortiGate-5000 RTM modules. When the chassis is
shipped, these slots are covered by RTM air baffle slot covers.
The FortiGate-5140B Shelf Managers and the Shelf Alarm Modules (SAMs) are also
visible. The factory installed primary shelf manager provides power allocation, cooling,
alarms, and shelf status for the FortiGate-5140B chassis. The factory installed primary
and secondary Shelf Alarm Modules display alarms and provide telco alarm interfaces.
You can also install a secondary shelf manager as a backup for the primary one. For more
information about these components, see “FortiGate-5140B shelf managers” on page 14
and “FortiGate-5140B shelf alarm module” on page 16.
The back panel includes the FortiGate-5140B chassis ground connector which must be
connected to ground. The chassis also includes an ESD socket on the back panel.

Power requirements
The FortiGate-5140B chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar
location that has available -48VDC power fed from a 100A listed circuit breaker (also
called battery power or main DC power). Fortinet expects that most FortiGate-5140B
customers will be installing their chassis in a data center or similar location that is already
equipped with a -48VDC power system fed from a 100A listed circuit breaker that
provides power to existing networking or telecom equipment. The FortiGate-5140B
chassis is designed to be connected directly to this DC power system.
If DC power is not available you can use one or more FortiGate-5053B power converter
shelves equipped with PSU-5000B power supplies to convert AC to DC to supply DC
power to the FortiGate-5140B chassis from an AC source.
Physical description of the FortiGate-5140B chassis
The FortiGate-5140B chassis is a 13U chassis that can be installed in a standard 19-inch

FortiGate-5140B shelf managers
The FortiGate-5140B chassis includes one or two redundant hot-swappable shelf
managers, located in the dedicated shelf manager slots at the bottom right side of the
back panel. The primary shelf manager is installed on the left the secondary shelf
manager (if present) is installed on the right. The secondary shelf manager is optional.
Relative humidity: 5 to 85% (Non-condensing)
Maximum: 530 W (Power consumed by an empty
chassis with four fans, one shelf manager, two shelf
alarm modules and two PEMs installed and operating
with the fans running at full speed.)
Each PEM includes 5 power channels. Each channel
includes its own 100 A fuse.
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. 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. If one shelf manager fails or is
removed the other will operate independently and the chassis will continue to function
normally.
The shelf managers control chassis power allocation, monitor chassis operating
parameters, monitor and control chassis cooling, and can signal alarms if the chassis
encounters problems. All FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the chassis communicate
with the shelf managers.
The 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 (CH0 and CH1). Both channels connect
to the chassis backplane.
• When the Ethernet channel selector button is pushed in (recessed) CH0 connects to
the backplane.
• When the Ethernet channel selector button is pulled out you can use the front panel
Ethernet connector to connect to CH0.
Each shelf manager also has an RS-232 serial port for connecting to the shelf manager
console CLI.
The shelf managers detect alarm conditions and communicate alarm signals to the
FortiGate-5140B shelf alarm module.
The shelf managers are hot swappable. You remove a shelf manager by loosening the
retention screw that positions the hot swap actuator. This disengages the hot swap
switch and puts the shelf manager into hot swap mode. The hot swap LED starts blinking
blue. When the hot swap LED turns solid blue you can completely loosen both retention
screws and remove the shelf manager from the chassis.

Using the shelf manager CLI
You can use the shelf manager command line interface (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.
To get started using the shelf manager CLI, see “Using the shelf manager CLI” on
page 34.
The shelf manager is shutting down in preparation for
being removed from the chassis.
Shelf Manager fan and power control
The FortiGate-5140B shelf managers monitor the internal temperature of the
FortiGate-5140B chassis and adjust the operating speed of the cooling fans as required.
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-5140B chassis cooling fans always operate at full speed.
FortiGate-5140B shelf alarm module
The FortiGate-5140B chassis includes two redundant hot-swappable shelf alarm
modules (SAMs) each of which provide LED indicators of FortiGate-5140B alarms, a telco
alarm connector, and an alarm LED reset buttons. The LED alarm indicators include
critical, major, and minor alarms.
The shelf alarm modules support redundant operation with automatic switchover. If both
shelf alarm modules are operating normally, one acts as the active shelf alarm module
and the other as the standby. Usually the primary shelf alarm module would be active and
the secondary module would be the standby. The shelf alarm modules monitor each
other and either can trigger a switchover if necessary. By default the shelf alarm module
on the left is the active one. The active shelf alarm module performs all shelf alarm
functions. If the active shelf alarm module fails or is removed, the standby shelf alarm
module takes over all functions.
The Telco Alarm Interface is a standard DB-15 male Telco Form-c connector. The external
dry relay Telco alarm interface (48VDC) provides Telco form-c relay connections for minor,
major and critical power faults. The cable required to connect to the alarm interface is not
supplied by Fortinet. To monitor alarms you should connect to the telco alarm interface of
the active shelf alarm panel, which by default is the one on the left.

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
1801-500-156415-20151104
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.

Air filter
The FortiGate-5140B chassis includes a front replaceable air filter that removes dust from
intake air and provides static pressure to achieve uniform airflow. The filter must be
installed for the chassis to operate normally. If the air filter is not locked into place the
redundant air filter presence sensors cause an alarm.
Air filters should be inspected regularly. If dirty or damaged, the filter should be disposed
of and replaced. The air filter can be fragile and should be handled carefully.
To service the air filter you must remove the air intake bezel at the bottom of the front of
the chassis. See Figure 1 on page 10 for the location of the air intake bezel and air filter.
The bezel is held in place by four torq screws which must be loosened before the bezel
can be removed. The air filter can be removed using the lower flange as a handle. Gently
push the filter and tilt it down to remove it.
Care should be taken when inserting an new air filter to prevent damage to the sensors.
To insert a new filter, slide it along the guide rails at each side of the shelf until the filter
contacts springs at the back of the chassis. Then tilt the filter up until it locks into place
under the card cage. Pull the filter forward to make sure it is locked into place.
Cooling fans, cooling air flow, and minimum clearance
The FortiGate-5140B chassis contains four identical hot-swappable cooling fans installed
in the fan cabinet at the top of the chassis. See Figure 1 on page 10 for the location of the
cooling fans. Two fans are installed at the top of the cabinet and two at the bottom. The
fans at the bottom of the cabinet are not directly under the fans at the top, but are located
further towards the back of the cabinet. To be able to reach the bottom fans long handles
are attached to them so that you don’t have to insert your hand into the chassis to access
them.

flow. See Figure 7 on page 20 for the minimum clearance requirements. The diagram also
shows the cooling air flow through the chassis and the location of the air filter and cooling
fans. Make sure the cooling air intake and warm air exhaust openings are not blocked by
cables or rack construction because this could result in cooling performance reduction
and possible overheating and component damage.

FortiGate-5140B
Power connection and
configuration
This chapter describes how to connect DC power to a FortiGate-5140B chassis.
The FortiGate-5140B chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar
location that has available -48VDC power fed from a 100A listed circuit breaker (also
called battery power or main DC power). Fortinet expects that most FortiGate-5140B
customers will be installing their chassis in a data center or similar location that is already
equipped with a -48VDC power system fed from a 100A listed circuit breaker that
provides power to existing networking or telecom equipment. The FortiGate-5140B
chassis is designed to be connected directly to this DC power system.
If DC power is not available at the location in which the FortiGate-5140B chassis is to be
installed you can use the FortiGate-5053B power converter shelf to convert AC to DC to
supply DC power to the FortiGate-5140B chassis.
Fortinet supplies four 3-ft. power cables with AWG-6 stranded wires and double-hole
lugs: Black for -48VDC and red for RTN. These cables should only be used to connect
the FortiGate-5140B PEMs to a FortiGate-5053B power convertor shelf if purchased with
your FortiGate-5140B chassis. The double-hole lugs to be connected to the
FortiGate-5140B PEMs include rubber boots that should be installed before energizing
the power system. If the power cable length needs to be longer than 3 ft., higher gauge
wires should be considered.
If you are connecting your chassis to a local DC power source, use cables that meet your
local wiring codes. To connect the wires to the FortiGate-5140B PEMs use 3/4-inch
double-hole lugs with insulating boot suitable the DC cables used, such as Thomas &
Betts PN 256-30695-1225.
Green AWG-6 wires are recommended for ground connections (not supplied with the
chassis).

FortiGate-5140B chassis power level requirements
This section provides some basic information for determining the power requirements of
your FortiGate-5140B chassis. This section provides guidelines only. Actual requirements
may vary depending on your installation requirements. Contact Fortinet Support if you
need more information.
Connecting the FortiGate-5140B chassis to DC power and groundPower connection and configuration
The base FortiGate-5140B chassis (empty, with four fans, one shelf manager, two shelf
alarm modules and two PEMs installed and operating with the fans running at full speed)
requires a maximum of 530 W. Each chassis slot can supply up to 300 W. You can use
these numbers to estimate the power requirement for a chassis configuration.
Example: power for a chassis with 5 boards
For example, the power requirement for a FortiGate-5140B chassis with FortiGate,
FortiSwitch, or FortiController boards in five slots would be:
530W + (300W * 5) = 2030W
Example: power for a fully-loaded chassis (14 boards)
The power requirement for a fully loaded FortiGate-5140B chassis with boards in all 14
slots would be:
530W + (300W * 14) = 4730W
Connecting the FortiGate-5140B chassis to DC power and ground
Connect the FortiGate-5140B chassis to DC power using the redundant -48V to - 60 VDC
power entry modules (PEMs) at the bottom of the chassis back panel. The specified
voltage range of the PEMs is -40 VDC to -72 VDC. The chassis ships with both PEMs
installed. The PEMs provide redundant DC power connections for the FortiGate-5140B
chassis and distribute DC power to all chassis slots and components.
The PEM includes a Reverse Voltage LED that lights if you have reversed the polarity
when connecting power.
Each FortiGate-5140B PEM includes four -48V/-60 VDC (labeled as - and connected
together internally) and four return connectors (labeled as + and connected together
internally). Each PEM supplies 5 power channels. Each channel includes a separate 30A
fuse to power a group of 3 to 4 chassis slots or a 20A fuse for fans and Shelf Managers.
All terminals should be connected single -48VDC power source with a 100A listed circuit
breaker.
To connect the FortiGate-5140B PEMs to DC power you must use power connectors and
wires that comply with the local electrical wiring code and the requirements of the facility
in which you are installing the FortiGate-5140B chassis.
The PEMs are hot-swappable, which means you can remove and replace a defective
PEM while the system is operating (assuming that the FortiGate-5140B system has both
PEMs connected for redundancy). It is not necessary to notify the software or reset the
system power to remove a PEM. You can add, remove, or replace a second PEM without
interrupting FortiGate-5140B operation.

Crimping guidelines
To connect the PEMs to datacenter power you should use AWG-6 or larger wires
depending on the length and the power requirements of your chassis. The ends of these
wires must be fitted with 3/4-inch double-hole lugs with insulating boot suitable the DC
cables used, such as Thomas & Betts PN 256-30695-1225. Use the following information
to crimp and prepare these wires.
Do not crimp energized wires.
Before crimping, slide rubber boot along each wire. Follow these crimping guidelines:
• Strip the insulation from cable. Be careful not to nick cable strands which may later
result in stands breaking
• Cable end should be clean: wire brush or clean with emery cloth if necessary. Insert
cable into connector until it stops. The insertion length must approximate the stripped
length of cable
• Insert connector in die and compress between the markings beginning near the
tongue of the connector. Using the wrong installing die may result in a defective
connection.
• After crimping, remove all sharp edges, flash or burrs.
Connecting a FortiGate-5140B PEM to DC power
The following procedure describes how to connect power to a PEM. You can repeat this
procedure for both PEMs.
Two DC cable sets are required for each PEM connection (and all 4 terminals on each
polarity should be used). If for any reason any of the PEM terminals are not used the
unused terminals need to be covered with insulated material (or wrapped with electrical
tape) as the exposed terminals are a shock hazard.

Supplying power using the FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf
and PSU-5000B power supplies
If DC power is not available at your location, you can use the FortiGate-5053B and
FortiGate-5053B-LC 1U 19-inch rack mount power supply shelves with PSU-5000B hot
swappable power supplies to convert AC power to DC power. These components are not
supplied with the FortiGate-5140B chassis and must be purchased separately.
Figure 10: FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf with four PSU-5000B power supplies
As already stated, Fortinet supplies four 3-ft. power cables with AWG-6 stranded wires
and double-hole lugs: Black for -48VDC and red for RTN. These cables should only be
used to connect the FortiGate-5140B PEMs to a FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf if
purchased with your FortiGate-5140B chassis. The double-hole lugs to be connected to
the FortiGate-5140B PEMs include rubber boots that should be installed before
energizing the power system. If the power cable length needs to be longer than 3 ft.,
higher gauge wires should be used.
The FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf can include up to four PSU-5000B power
supplies. The power supply shelf can be connected to high line AC input (186-240VAC) or
low line AC input (100-185VAC).
• When connected to high-line AC input, a single power supply can provide 2725W of
DC power and a fully populated FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf can provide up
to 10.9KW of DC power and 8175W of DC power with 3+1 redundancy with an output
voltage of 54 VDC.
• When connected to low-line AC input a single power supply can provide 1200W of DC
power and a fully populated FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf can provide up to
4800W of DC power and 3600W of DC power with 3+1 redundancy with an output
voltage of 54 VDC.
The FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf edge controller controls and manages the
power supplies, provides for redundancy, and provides a control and alarm
communication interface for the power supply shelf.
For a more information about the FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf see the FortiGate-
5053B Power Supply Shelf Guide.
To supply power to a FortiGate-5140B chassis you must connect one FortiGate-5053B
power supply shelf to one FortiGate-5140B PEM.
You can install extra PSU-5000B power supplies in a single FortiGate-5053B power
supply shelf to provide power redundancy. If a PSU-5000B fails or is removed a backup
PSU-5000B will continue to supply power.
For a completely redundant power supply you can connect a second FortiGate-5053B
power supply shelf to the second FortiGate-5140B PEM.

Selecting the power supplies and power supply shelves that you need for your
FortiGate-5140B chassis
This section provides some basic information for determining the power requirements of
your FortiGate-5140B chassis. Using these power requirements you can decide how
many PSU-5000B power supplies and FortiGate-5053Bpower supply shelves you need
to provide that power. This section provides guidelines only. Actual requirements may
vary depending on your installation requirements. Contact Fortinet Support if you need
more information.
The base FortiGate-5140B chassis (empty, with four fans, one shelf manager, two shelf
alarm modules and two PEMs installed and operating with the fans running at full speed)
requires a maximum of 530 W. Each chassis slot can supply up to 300 W. You can use
these numbers to estimate the power requirement for a chassis configuration.
Example: power for a chassis with 5 boards
For example, the power requirement for a FortiGate-5140B chassis with FortiGate,
FortiSwitch, or FortiController boards in five slots would be:
530 W + (300 W * 5) = 2030 W
If you are using high-line AC power, one PSU-5000B produces 2725W. Powering a
chassis with 5 boards would require one FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf connected
to one PEM. The power supply shelf would include one PSU-5000B unit. You can add a
second power supply for redundancy. If you want completely redundant power for the
chassis you can connect a second FortiGate-5053B unit to the other FortiGate-5140B
PEM and include one or two power supplies.
If you are using low-line AC power, one PSU-5000B produces 1200W. Powering a
chassis with 5 boards would require one FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf connected
to one PEM. The power supply shelf would include two PSU-5000B units. You can add a
third power supply for redundancy. If you want completely redundant power for the
chassis you can connect a second FortiGate-5053B unit to the other FortiGate-5140B
PEM and include two or three power supplies.
Example: power for a fully-loaded chassis (14 boards)
The power requirement for a fully loaded FortiGate-5140B chassis with boards in all 14
slots would be:
530 W + (300 W * 14) = 4730 W
If you are using high-line AC power, one PSU-5000B produces 2725W. Powering a
chassis with 14 boards would require one FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf
connected to one PEM. The power supply shelf would include two PSU-5000B units and
produce a total of 3450W. You can add a third power supply for redundancy. If you want
completely redundant power for the chassis you can connect a second FortiGate-5053B
unit to the other FortiGate-5140B PEM and include two or three power supplies.
If you are using low-line AC power, one PSU-5000B produces 1200W. Powering a
chassis with 14 boards would require one FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf
connected to one PEM. The power supply shelf would include four PSU-5000B units. If
you want redundant power for the chassis you can add a second FortiGate-5053B unit
connected to the other FortiGate-5140B PEM and include four power supplies.
