Power cycling a FortiSwitch-5003B board
This section describes how to cycle the power on a FortiSwitch-5003B board by opening
the right handle (the lower handle when the board is installed vertically in a
FortiGate-5140 chassis) to activate a switch that cycles the power without removing the
board from the chassis. The steps recommend loosening the retention screws before
opening the handle to allow the handle to toggle the switch. During this process the
board may move out a small amount (less than 1 mm).
To power cycle a FortiSwitch-5003B board without fully removing the board from
the chassis
To complete this procedure, you need:
• An ATCA chassis with a FortiSwitch-5003B board installed
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1
Shut down the operating system running on the FortiSwitch-5003B board. For
example:
• From the web-based manager, go to the
Unit Operation
dashboard 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
Fully loosen the retention screws on the FortiSwitch-5003B front panel.
4
Unlock both handles by squeezing the handle locks.
5
Slowly open both handles a small amount (about 8 degrees) until the IPM LED flashes
blue.
6
Keep the handles in this position until the IPM LED stops flashing and becomes solid
blue.
7
After 10 seconds snap both handles back into place.
The board powers up, the LEDs light and in a few minutes the FortiSwitch-5003B
board operates normally.
To avoid potential hardware problems, always shut down the FortiSwitch-5003B
operating system properly before power cycling the FortiSwitch-5003B board.
FortiSwitch-5003B boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiSwitch-5003B boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiSwitch-5003B boards.
