Troubleshooting
This section describes some common troubleshooting topics.
FortiGate-5001C board does not start up
Shelf manager or firmware problems may prevent a FortiGate-5001C board from starting
up correctly.
Chassis with a shelf manager: no communication with shelf manager
If the FortiGate-5001C board is receiving power and the handles are fully closed and the
FortiGate-5001C still does not start up, the problem could be that the FortiGate-5001C
cannot communicate with the chassis shelf manager. This problem can only occur in an
ATCA chassis that contains a shelf manager.
FortiGate-5001C boards must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001C boards at a static-free workstation. Always
wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling
FortiGate-5001C boards.
