Installing and removing AMC modules
You can install one FortiGate ADM module in the FortiGate-5001A-DW front
panel AMC double-width opening. The following FortiGate ADM modules are
available:
• FortiGate-ADM-XB2, provides 2 accelerated XFP 10 gigabit interfaces.
• FortiGate-ADM-FB8, provides 8 accelerated SFP 1 gigabit interfaces.
This section describes:
•
Inserting AMC slot fillers
•
Inserting AMC modules
•
Removing AMC modules
!
Caution:
Do not operate the FortiGate-5001A board with an open AMC opening. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, the AMC opening must contain a slot filler or a
FortiGate ADM module.
Note:
When closed, the FortiGate-5001A left handle blocks the AMC opening. You must
eject the FortiGate-5001A board from its chassis slot and completely open the left handle
before inserting or removing AMC modules or slot fillers.
!
Caution:
Because the FortiGate-5001A board does not support hot swapping AMC
modules, the FortiGate-5001A board must be disconnected from power and the left handle
opened before you install a FortiGate AMC module.
