FIM-7901E mounting hardware
To install an FIM-7901E you slide the module into a hub/switch slot in the front of an FortiGate-7000 series chassis
(either slot 1 or 2) and then use the mounting hardware, described in
, to lock the module
into place in the slot. When locked into place and positioned correctly, the module front panel is flush with the chassis
front panel and connected to the chassis backplane.
To position the module correctly, you must use the mounting hardware shown below for the right of the FIM-7901E front
panel. The mounting hardware on the left of the front panel is the same but reversed. The FIM-7901E mounting
hardware aligns the module in the chassis slot and is used to insert and eject the module from the slot.
On some FIM modules there may be very little clearance between the front panel interfaces
and the module lever on the right side of the FIM-7901E. In fact, you may have to remove
network connectors from some front panel interfaces to open the module lever. In most cases
you should remove all network connectors from the front panel before opening the module
levers to remove an FIM module from a chassis slot.
