Figure 8: FortiSwitch-5003B right (bottom) mounting components
The FortiSwitch-5003B handles (also called extraction levers) align the board in the
chassis slot and are used to insert and eject the board from the slot. The right (bottom)
handle activates a microswitch that turns on or turns off power to the board. When the
right (bottom) handle is open the microswitch is off and the board cannot receive power.
When the right (bottom) handle is fully closed the microswitch is on and if the board is
fully inserted into a chassis slot the board can receive power.
Inserting a FortiSwitch-5003B board
The FortiSwitch-5003B board must be fully installed in a chassis hub/switch slot (usually
slot 1 or 2), with the handles closed and locked and retention screws fully tightened for
the FortiSwitch-5003B board to receive power and operate normally. If the
FortiSwitch-5003B board is not receiving power, the HS LED glows solid blue and all
other LEDs remain off. See
“Front panel components” on page 7
.
It is important to carefully seat the FortiSwitch-5003B board all the way into the chassis,
to not use too much force on the handles, and to make sure that the handles are properly
locked. Only then will the FortiSwitch-5003B board power-on and start up correctly.
FortiSwitch-5003B boards are hot swappable. The procedure for inserting
a FortiSwitch-5003B board into a chassis slot is the same whether or not the chassis is
powered on.
