Figure 4: Factory default shelf manager mode setting for SW6
By default a FortiGate-5001D board will not start up if the board is installed in a chassis
that does not contain a shelf manager or that contains a shelf manager that is not
operating. Before installing a FortiGate-5001D in a chassis that does not contain an
operating shelf manager you must change the SW6 switch setting to match
Figure 5
.

If the shelf manager in a FortiGate-5000 series chassis is missing or not functioning,
FortiGate-5001D boards with factory default SW6 settings will not start up.
FortiGate-5001D boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001D boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001D boards.
