Warnings and cautions

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or maintain FortiGate-5000 series
equipment. Read and comply with all warnings, cautions and notices in this document.

CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According

!

to the Instructions.

Caution: You should be aware of the following cautions and warnings before installing FortiGate-5000 series

!

hardware

• Turning off all power switches may not turn off all power to the FortiGate-5000 series equipment.
Except where noted, disconnect the FortiGate-5000 series equipment from all power sources,
telecommunications links and networks before installing, or removing FortiGate-5000 series
components, or performing other maintenance tasks. Failure to do this can result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Some circuitry in the Fort iGa te-5000 series equipment may continue to operate
even though all power switches are off.

• An easily accessible disconnect device, such as a circuit breaker, should be incorporated into the data
center wiring that connects power to the FortiGate-5000 series equipment.

• Install FortiGate-5000 series chassis at the lower positions of a rack to avoid making the rack top-heavy
and unstable.

• Do not insert metal objects or tools into open chassis slots.

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiGate-5000 series equipment. Only perform the
procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you
can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist or ankle strap and attaching it to an
ESD connector or to a metal part of a FortiGate chassis.

• Some FortiGate-5000 series components may overlo ad your supply circuit and imp act your over current
protection and supply wiring. Refer to nameplate ratings to address this concern.

• Make sure all FortiGate-5000 series components have reliable grounding. Fortinet recommends direct
connections to the branch circuit.

• If you install a FortiGate-5000 series component in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Make sure the
operating ambient temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature.

• Installing FortiGate-5000 series equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• This equipment is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment room,
service closet or the like), in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

• Per the National Electrical Code, sizing of a Listed circuit breaker or branch circuit fuse and the supply
conductors to the equipment is based on the marked inpu t current rating. A p roduct with a marked input
current rating of 25 A is required to be placed on a 40 A branch circuit. The supply conductors will also
be sized according to the input current rating and also derated for the maximum rated operating
ambient temperature, Tma, of the equipment.

• FortiGate-5000 series equipment shall be installed and connected to an electrical supply source in
accordance with the applicable codes and re gu la tio ns for the location in which it is installed. Particular
attention shall be paid to use of correct wire type and size to comply with the applicable codes and
regulations for the installation / location. Connection of the supply wiring to the terminal block on the
equipment may be accomplished using Listed wire compression lugs, for example, Pressure Terminal
Connector made by Ideal Industries Inc. or equivalent which is suitable for A WG 10. Par ticular attenti on
shall be given to use of the appropriate compre ss ion too l spe cifie d by the compression lug
manufacturer, if one is specified.

FortiSwitch-5003 module

The FortiSwitch-5003 module provides base backplane interface switching for the
FortiGate-5140 chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can use this
switching for data communication or HA heartbeat communication between the
base backplane interfaces of FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in slots 3
and up in these chassis. FortiSwitch-5003 modules can be used for base
backplane communication in a single chassis or between multiple chassis.

Install FortiSwitch-5003 modules in chassis slots 1 and 2. A FortiSwitch-5003
module in slot 1 provides communications on base backplane interface 1. A
FortiSwitch-5003 module in slot 2 provides communications on base backplane
interface 2.

If your configuration includes only one FortiSwitch-5003 module you can install it
in slot 1 or slot 2 and configure the FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the
chassis to use the correct base backplane interface.

The FortiSwitch-5003 module includes the following features:

• A total of 16 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit ethernet interfaces:

• 13 backplane 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit interfaces for base backplane
switching between FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in the same
chassis as the FortiSwitch-5003

• Three front panel 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit in terfaces (ZRE0, ZRE1,
ZRE2) for base backplane switching between two or more FortiGate-5000
series chassis

• One 100Base-TX out of band management ethernet interface (ETH0)

• RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection (CONSOLE)

• Mounting hardware

• LED status indicators

Front panel LEDs and connectors

From the FortiSwitch-5003 font panel you can view the st atus of the modu le LEDs
to verify that the module is functioning normally. You can also connect the
FortiSwitch-5003 module in one chassis to a FortiSwitch-5003 module in another
chassis through the front panel ethernet connect i on s. Th e fron t panel also
includes and out of band management ethernet interface and the RJ-45 console
port for connecting to the FortiSwitch-5003 CLI.
