The FIM-7901E module levers align the module in the chassis slot and insert and eject the module from the slot. The
power sliders activate micro switches that turn on or turn off power to the module. When both sliders are raised, the
module cannot receive power. When the sliders are fully closed, the module can receive power if it is fully inserted into a
chassis slot.
Inserting a FIM-7901E module into a chassis
This procedure describes how to insert a FIM-7901E module into slot 1 or 2 of a FortiGate-7000 chassis. The procedure
includes photographs to illustrate the procedure steps. The photos were taken in one of Fortinet's hardware labs using a
generic module and FortiGate-7000 chassis.
You must carefully slide the module all the way into the chassis slot, close the module levers
to seat the module into the slot, and tighten the secure screws to make sure the module is
fully engaged with the backplane and secured. You must also make sure that the power
sliders are fully closed by gently pushing them down.
Installation Highlights
:
1. Module levers must be closed.
2. Secure screws must be tightened.
3. Power sliders must be fully closed for the module to get power and start up.
If the module is not receiving power all LEDs remain off.
FIM-7901E modules are hot swappable. This procedure is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on.
Do not carry the FIM-7901E module by holding the module levers or secure screws. When
inserting or removing the FIM-7901E from a chassis slot, handle the module by the front
panel. The levers are not designed for carrying the module. If the levers become bent or
damaged, the FIM-7901E may not align correctly in the chassis slot.
To complete this procedure, you need the following equipment and tools:
l
a FIM-7901E
l
a FortiGate-7000 chassis with an empty slot
l
an electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
l
a Phillips screwdriver
FIM-7901Es must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work
with FIM-7901Es at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge
(ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FIM-7901Es. Attach the ESD wrist strap to your
wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame. (An ESD wrist
strap is not visible in the photographs below because they were taken in an ESD safe lab
environment.)
