FortiGate-5001C boards are hot swappable. The procedure for removing
a FortiGate-5001C board from a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is
powered on.
To remove a FortiGate-5001C board from a chassis slot
To complete this procedure, you need:
• An ATCA chassis with a FortiGate-5001C board installed
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1
Shut down the operating system running on the FortiGate-5001C board. For example:
• From the web-based manager, go to
System > Status
and from the
Unit Operation
widget, select
Shutdown
and then select
OK
.
• From the CLI enter
execute shutdown
2
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist strap
terminal.
3
Disconnect all cables from the FortiGate-5001C board, including all network cables,
the console cable, and any USB cables or keys.
4
Fully loosen the retention screws on the FortiGate-5001C front panel.
5
Unlock the handles by squeezing the handle locks.
6
Slowly open both handles a small amount (about 8 degrees) until the IPM LED flashes
blue.
7
Keep the handles in this position until the IPM LED stops flashing and becomes solid
blue.
Do not carry the FortiGate-5001C board by holding the handles or retention screws.
When inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001C board from a chassis slot, handle the
board by the front panel. The handles are not designed for carrying the board. If the
handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001C board may not align correctly in
the chassis slot.
FortiGate-5001C boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001C boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001C boards.
