Shutting down and removing a FIM-7920E board from a chassis
To avoid potential hardware problems, always shut down the FIM-7920E operating system properly before
removing the FIM-7920E from a chassis slot or before powering down the chassis.
Disconnect all cables from the FIM-7920E module, including all network cables and USB cables or keys.
FIM-7920Es are hot swappable. The procedure for removing a FIM-7920E from a chassis slot is the same
whether or not the chassis is powered on.
To remove a FIM-7920E board from a chassis slot
Do not carry the FIM-7920E by holding the handles or retention screws. When
inserting or removing the FIM-7920E from a chassis slot, handle the module by the
front panel. The handles are not designed for carrying the board. If the handles
become bent or damaged theFIM-7920E may not align correctly in the chassis slot.
To complete this procedure, you need:
l
A FortiGate-7000 chassis with a FIM-7920E module installed
l
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
FIM-7920Es must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle
or work with FIM-7920Es at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded
electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FIM-7920Es. (An
ESD wrist strap is not visible in the photographs below because they were taken in an
ESD safe lab environment.)
