FortiGate-7060E schematic
FortiGate-7060E
Power is provided to the chassis using four hot swappable 3+1 redundant 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply
units (PSUs). You can also optionally add up to six PSUs to provide 3+3 redundancy. The FortiGate-7060E can
also be equipped with DC PSUs allowing you to connect the chassis to -48V DC power
The standard configuration of the FortiGate-7060E includes two FIM (interface) modules in chassis slots 1 and 2
and up to four FPM (processing) modules in chassis slots 3 to 6.
FortiGate-7060E schematic
The FortiGate-7060E chassis schematic below shows the communication channels between chassis components
including the management modules (MGMT), the FIM modules (called FIM1 and FIM2) and the FPM modules
(FPM3, FPM4, FPM5, and FPM6).
By default MGMT2 is the active management module and MGMT1 is inactive. The active management module
always has the IPMB address 0x20 and the inactive management module always has the IPMB address 0x22.
The active management module communicates with all modules in the chassis over the base backplane. Each
module, including the management modules has a Shelf Management Controller (SMC). These SMCs support
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) communication between the active management module and the
FIM and FPM modules for storing and sharing sensor data that the management module uses to control chassis
cooling and power distribution. The base backplane also supports serial communications to allow console access
from the management module to all modules, and 1Gbps Ethernet communication for management and
heartbeat communication between modules.
FIM1 and FIM2 (IPMB addresses 0x82 and 0x84) are the FIM modules in slots 1 and 2. The interfaces of these
modules connect the chassis to data networks and can be used for Ethernet management access to chassis
components. The FIM modules include DP2 processors that distribute sessions over the Integrated Switch Fabric
