To position the board correctly you must use the mounting components shown in
for the right (bottom) side of the front panel. The mounting components on the
left (top) side of the FortiMail front panel are the same but reversed. The FortiMail
mounting components align the board in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject
the board from the slot.
Figure 23: FortiMail right (bottom) mounting components
The FortiMail handles align the board in the chassis slot and are used to insert and eject
the board from the slot. The right handle activates a microswitch that turns on or turns off
power to the board. If the FortiMail board is installed in a FortiGate-5140 chassis this is the
lower handle. When the right handle is open the microswitch is off and the board cannot
receive power. When the right handle is fully closed the microswitch is on and if the board
is fully inserted into a chassis slot the board can receive power. You can use the right
handle to cycle the power and reset the board without removing the board from the
chassis. See
“Resetting a FortiMail board” on page 61
.
Inserting a FortiMail board
The FortiMail board must be fully installed in a chassis slot, with the handles closed and
locked and retention screws fully tightened for the FortiMail board to receive power and
operate normally. If the FortiMail board is not receiving power, the IPM LED glows solid
blue and all other LEDs remain off. For descriptions of the LEDs, see the FortiMail-5001A
QuickStart Guide.
Note:
FortiMail boards are horizontal when inserted into a FortiGate-5050 chassis and
vertical when inserted into a FortiGate-5140 chassis. The inserting and removing
procedures are the same in either case. For clarity the descriptions in this document refer
to the left (top) and right (bottom) mounting components.
