Remove the caps from QSFP+ or SFP+ cage sockets on the FortiController-5913C
front panel.

Hold the sides of the transceiver and slide it into the cage socket until it clicks into
place.
FortiController-5913C mounting components
To install a FortiController-5913C board you slide the board into a hub/switch slot in the
front of an ATCA chassis (usually slot 1 or 2 of a FortiGate-5144C chassis) and then use
the mounting components to lock the board into place in the slot. When locked into place
and positioned correctly the board front panel is flush with the chassis front panel. The
board is also connected to the chassis backplane.
To position the board correctly you must use the mounting components shown in
for the right (bottom) of the FortiController-5913C front panel. The mounting
components on the left (top) of the front panel are the same but reversed. The
FortiController-5913C mounting components align the board in the chassis slot and are
used to insert and eject the board from the slot.

Handling the transceivers by holding the release latch can damage the connector. Do
not force the transceivers into the cage slots. If the transceiver does not easily slide in
and click into place, it may not be aligned correctly. If this happens, remove the
transceiver, realign it and slide it in again.
FortiController-5913C boards are vertical when inserted into a FortiGate-5144C chassis,
but you also often see the board on a horizontal service or horizontally in an illustration.
Because of this, the descriptions in this document refer to left (top) and right (bottom)
mounting components.
