The FortiGate ASM-FB4 module ships with four SFP SERDES SX 1000Mbps bre transceivers that you must install for normal operation of the FortiGate ASM-FB4 module. The SFP
transceivers are inserted into cage sockets numbered 1 to 4 on the FortiGate ASM-FB4 front
panel. You can install the SFP transceivers before or after inserting the FortiGate ASM-FB4
module into a FortiGate unit.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate- ASM-FB4 module
• Four SFP transceivers
• To avoid any electrostatic discharge, install in a static free area.
FortiGate ASM-FB4 modules must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate ASM-FB4 modules at a static-free workstation.
Handling the SFP transceivers by holding the release Latch can damage the connector.
Do not force the SFP transceivers into the cage slots.
It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate ASM-FB4 module all the way into the chassis.
Only then will the FortiGate ASM-FB4 module power-on.
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate ASM-FB4 module
• A FortiGate chassis with an empty AMC single-width (SW) opening.
• To avoid any electrostatic discharge, install in a static free area.
FortiGate ASM-FB4 modules are not hot swappable. The procedure for inserting the
FortiGate ASM-FB4 module into a FortiGate chassis slot requires the FortiGate unit to be
powered off.
To avoid any electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling FortiGate ASM-FB4 modules,
install in a static free area.
To insert a FortiGate ASM-FB4 module into a FortiGate chassis
Ensure the FortiGate unit is powered off before proceeding.
Remove the panel block on the FortiGate unit using the hot swap latch.
Pull the latch on the ASM-FB4 module to the extended position.
Insert the FortiGate ASM-FB4 module into the empty slot in the chassis. Ensure the
Fortinet logo is right-side up. It should be on the upper-right corner of the module.
Carefully guide the module into the chassis.
Insert the module by applying moderate force to the front faceplate near the upper edge
to slide the module into the slot.
The module should glide smoothly into the chassis. If you encounter any resistance
while sliding the module in, the module could be aligned incorrectly. Pull the module
back out and try inserting it again.
Press the hot swap latch to lock in the module.
Power on the FortiGate unit. The hot swap (HS) LED turns on and then begins ashing.

FortiGate-ASM-FB4
01-30005-0409-20070907
Connector Type Speed Protocol Description
Ports 1 to 4 SERDES compatible SX ber 1000 Base-SX Ethernet Fiber network connections.
If the transceiver does not easily slide in and click into place, it may not be aligned correctly
or may be upside down. If this happens, remove the SFP transceiver, realign it or rotate it
and slide it in again.
To Install the transceivers
Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the FortiGate ASM-FB4 front panel.
Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide SFP transceiver into the cage socket
until it clicks into place.
The FortiGate ASM-FB4 also supports SGMII copper gigabit (10/100/1000) transceivers.
Use the following CLI command to enable this type of transceiver:
cong system interface
edit AMC-SW1/1
set mediatype serdes|sgmii

Removing the AMC module
Should you need to remove the ASM-FB4, shut down the FortiGate unit using proper shut
down procedures.
To remove the ASM-FB4 module
Ensure the FortiGate unit is powered off before proceeding.
To avoid any electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling FortiGate ASM-FB4 modules,
install in a static free area.
Pull the hot swap latch on the right-hand side of the module to the extended position to
unlock the module from the FortiGate unit.
Gently pull the hot swap latch to remove the module.
