The FortiGate-7040E is a 6U 19-inch rackmount 4-slot chassis with a 80Gbps fabric and 1Gbps base backplane designed by Fortinet. The fabric backplane provides network data communication and the base backplane provides management and synch communication among the chassis slots. Power is provided to the chassis using three hot swappable 2+1 redundant 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply units (PSUs).
The FPM-7620E is a hot swappable processor module that provides FortiOS firewalling and security services. FPMs in the chassis function as workers, processing sessions load balanced to them by the FIMs. FPMs include multiple NP6 network processors and CP9 content processors to accelerate traffic.

FortiGate-7040E chassis schematic The FortiGate-7040E chassis schematic below shows the communication channels between chassis components including the management module (MGMT), the FIMs (called FIM1 and FIM2) and the FPMs (FPM3 and FPM4).
1500W AC power supply units (PSUs) for the FortiGate-7040E. FG-7040E-CHASSIS FortiGate-7040E chassis including 1x management module, 3x fan trays, and 3x AC PSUs. You can also order the following: Additional FIMs and FPMs Transceivers FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Install the new fan tray by sliding it into place. As you slide the new fan into place it will power up and the fan outlet cover will fall off of the fan tray. Tighten the retention screws. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
80% of cooling air comes from the front panel air intake and 20% from the left and right side panels and 100% exits out the back. Side clearance is optional and chassis cooling will be sufficient if no side clearance is available. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Use a C15 Power cable, supplied with the chassis, to connect power to each PSU C16 power connector. C15/C16 power connectors are used for high temperature environments and are rated up to 120°C. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
3+2 redundancy. You can add a 6th power supply to provide a third backup power supply and 3+3 redundancy. See FortiGate-7040E back panel on page 8 for locations of the PSUs. The diagram shows AC PSUs, with a DC version of the chassis the AC PSUs are replaced with DC PSUs. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.

1. Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame. 2. Make sure that the PSU and power cords are not energized. 3. Snap the clear plastic cover off of the PSU power terminals. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord. One green 6 AWG stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug suitable for minimum 6 AWG copper wire, such as Thomas & Betts PN 54850BE. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating. In addition, if any modules have been installed in the chassis they should power on and their front panel LEDs should indicate that they are starting up and operating normally. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
You can optionally install the left and right cable management brackets to help manage the network cables connected to FIM modules installed in the FortiGate-7040E. Install the left and right cable management brackets by attaching them to the left and right front mounting brackets. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
(FIM-7910E/FIM-7920E only) Front cable management brackets (FIM-7910E and FIM-7920E only) These front cable management brackets are not included with the FortiGate-7040E package. Fortinet ships a front cable management bracket with each FIM-7910E and FIM-7920E module. These brackets help support the relatively large CFP2 transceivers used with FIM-7910E modules and QSFP28 transceivers used with FIM-7920E modules.
2-post rack. As shown in the diagram, first attach the mid-mount trays to the rack making sure to leave enough space above the trays for the chassis. Then attach the mid-mount ears to the chassis also as shown in the FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
All FortiGate-7040E chassis are shipped with a protective front panel installed in the chassis to protect internal chassis components. This panel must be removed before you install FIM and FPM modules. Insert FIM modules into chassis slots 1 and 2. Insert FPM modules into chassis slots 3 and 4. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
If you are installing different FIM modules in the FortiGate-7040E chassis, for optimal configuration you should install the module with the lower model number in slot 1 and the module with the higher number in slot 2. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.

2. If your chassis includes a FIM-7904E and a FIM-7920E, install the FIM-7904E in chassis slot 1 and the FIM-7920E in chassis slot 2. This applies to any combination of two different interface modules. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
(mgmt) and the HA heartbeat interfaces (M1 and M2) are in this VDOM. You cannot delete or rename this VDOM. You also cannot remove interfaces from it or add interfaces to it. You can however, configure other settings such as routing for management communications, the mgmt interface IP address, and so on. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
When your FortiGate-7000 first starts up, the MGMT1 to MGMT4 interfaces of both of the FIMs are part of a static 802.3 aggregate interface with a default IP address of 192.168.1.99. On the GUI or CLI the 802.3 aggregate interface is mgmt . named FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
MGMT1 interfaces of each FIM to a switch. The switch is configured with a 802.3 static aggregate interface that includes two ports, one for each MGMT1 interface. The switch also connects the MGMT1 interfaces to a management network. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Page 28
The following example shows redundant connections between both FIMs and the switch. In this case you need to add more switch ports to the static aggregate interface on the switch. You do not have to change the configuration of the FortiGate-7000 to set up this redundant management connection configuration. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.

After you have logged in, you can manage the backup FortiGate-7000 from the primary FIM or you can use the execute-load-balance slot manage command to connect to the CLIs of the other FIM and the FPMs in the backup FortiGate-7000. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
DP processor firmware upgrade is included. Before beginning a firmware upgrade, Fortinet recommends that you perform the following tasks: Review the latest release notes for the firmware version that you are upgrading to.
You may need to use the special port number to log in to the FIM in slot two (for example, browse to https://192.168.1.99:44302). 2. Once the FIM restarts, verify that the new firmware has been installed. FortiGate-7040E System Guide Fortinet Technologies Inc.
