FIM-7920E mounting components
To install a FIM-7920E 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 components 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. The module is also
connected to the chassis backplane.
To position the module correctly you must use the mounting components shown below for the right of the FIM-
7920E front panel. The mounting components on the left of the front panel are the same but reversed. The FIM-
7920E mounting components align the module in the chassis slot and are 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 handle on the right side of the FIM-7920E. In fact you may have to
remove network connectors from some front panel interfaces to open the handle. In
most cases you should remove all network connectors from the front panel before
opening the handles to remove a FIM module from a chassis slot.
