FPM-7620F processing module
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Raise the power sliders to unlock the module levers and turn off module power. Then open the module levers to eject the
module from the backplane connectors; allowing the module to be removed from the chassis.
The module lever mechanism helps reduce the engagement force required to insert or eject the module from the
backplane connectors.
The module levers do not fully secure the module in the chassis. The secure screws must be tightened to reliably secure
the module in the chassis and to make sure the module remains securely connected to the backplane for power and
network connectivity.
Power sliders
Close the module levers and move the power sliders to their bottom position to lock the module levers and turn the
module power switch on.
Move the power sliders to the top position to unlock the module levers and turn the module power switch off.
Gently push the power sliders down to make sure they are in their bottom position. If the module LEDs do not light the
module is not receiving power. If this happens check the power sliders to make sure they are in their bottom position.
Secure screws
Fully tighten the secure screws to lock the module in the chassis providing a secure and reliable connection with the
backplane.
Loosen the secure screws before ejecting the module from the chassis.
Front panel interfaces
You connect the FPM-7620F to your 100Gbps networks using the 1 and 2 front panel QSFP28 fabric channel interfaces.
You can also connect the FPM-7620F to your 25Gbps networks using the front panel 3 to 10 SFP28 fabric channel
interfaces. You can create link aggregation groups (LAGs) that can include data interfaces from multiple FIMs and FPMs
in the same chassis.
