Hardware installation
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Do not carry the FPM-7620F by holding the module levers or secure screws. When inserting or
removing the FPM-7620F 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 FPM-
7620F may not align correctly in the chassis slot.
To complete this procedure, you need the following equipment and tools:
l
a FortiGate-7000 chassis with a FPM-7620F module installed
l
an electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
l
a Phillips screwdriver
FPM-7620Fs must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work
with FPM-7620Fs at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge
(ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling FPM-7620Fs. (An ESD wrist strap is not visible in
the photographs below because they were taken in an ESD safe lab environment.)
1. Shut down the module operating system properly.
To avoid potential hardware problems, always shut down the module operating system properly before removing the
module from a chassis slot or before powering down the chassis. To shutdown the module, connect to the module GUI
and select
Shutdown
from the administrator menu. Or, from the module CLI, enter the
execute shutdown
command.
2. Disconnect all cables from the module, including all network cables and USB cables
or keys.
