FortiGate-RTM-XB2
The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module provides two 10-gigabit fabric backplane
interfaces and NP2 processor acceleration for FortiGate-5001A fabric interfaces.
For 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications, each FortiGate-5001A board
requires one FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module is an
ATCA rear transition module (RTM) that installs into an RTM slot at the back of a
FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis.
To support 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or
FortiGate-5050 chassis must also include one or more FortiSwitch-5003A boards
or other 10-gigabit fabric backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in
fabric slots 1 and 2.

The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 NP2 processors provide hardware accelerated network
processing for eligible traffic passing through the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interfaces.
For information about Fortinet NP2 processor acceleration, see the
Fortinet
Hardware Acceleration Technical Note
.
Follow the instructions in the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 System Guide
to install the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module.
AMC modules
You can install one FortiGate AMC Double width Module (ADM) in the
FortiGate-5001A-DW front panel AMC double-width opening. For example:
•
The FortiGate-ADM-XB2, provides 2 NP2 accelerated XFP 10-gigabit
interfaces.
•
The FortiGate-ADM-FB8, provides 8 NP2 accelerated SFP 1-gigabit
interfaces.
Figure 4: FortiGate-ADM-XB2
You can install one FortiGate AMC Single width Module (ASM) in the
FortiGate-5001A-SW front panel AMC single-width opening. For example:
Note:
On some versions of the FortiGate-5001A firmware, when a FortiGate-5001A board
starts up with a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module installed, the fabric1 and fabric2 interfaces are
replaced with interfaces that are named RTM/1 and RTM/2 to indicate the presence of the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2
module. Configuration settings that include the fabric1 and fabric2
interface names will have to be changed to use the RTM/1 and RTM/2 interface names.
