Install the FortiGate-5003 module into a FortiGate 5050 or 5140
chassis. Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap to avoid static
discharges.
You must install the FortiGate-5003 module in specific slots in the
chassis. These specific slots are wired on the backplane for internal
port switching capabilities. For the FortiGate-5050 and FortiGate-5140,
install the FortiGate-5003 in slot 1 or 2.
Note: If you are using one FortiGate-5003 module, install the module in
slot 2.
To install the FortiGate-5003 module
1. Extend the extraction levers.
2. Carefully slide the module into a chassis slot.
The module is
seated properly when it touches the chassis up to the
extraction levers.
3. Lock the extraction levers by pushing them towards each other.
4. If power is supplied to the chassis, the FortiGate-5003 module
powers on when the extraction levers are closed.
5. Tighten the mounting knots on the left and right sides of the
FortiGate-5003 front panel.

HA setup
Clustering FortiGate-5001 Antivirus Firewall modules
The FortiGate-5003 Switch Blade module is an HA component that is designed for use with the FortiGate-5050 and FortiGate-5140 chassis to
provide full HA clustering capabilities between the FortiGate-5001 modules. The FortiGate-5003 acts as the switch, providing automatic connection
through port 10 the backplane of the chassis. Using two FortiGate-5003 modules provides redundant HA interconnects with no single point of
failure.
For information on configuring the FortiGate-5001 module for HA see the FortiGate-5000 series Installation Guide.
High Availability Modes
Active-Active Load balancing and failover HA. Each FortiGate unit in the HA cluster actively processes connections and
monitors the status of the other FortiGate units in the cluster. The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster
controls load balancing.
Active-Passive Failover HA. The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster processes all connections. All other FortiGate units in
the cluster are passively monitor the cluster status and remain synchronized with the primary FortiGate unit.
All members of the HA cluster must be set to the same HA mode.

Clustering FortiGate-5000 series chassis
The FortiGate-5003 Switch Blade module provides full HA clustering capabilities between FortiGate-5050 and FortiGate-5140 chassis to provide
inter-chassis communication. The FortiGate-5003 acts as the switch, providing automatic connection through port 10 the backplane of the chassis.
The diagrams shown also apply to the FortiGate-5140 chassis.
