FortiSwitch-5003 module FortiSwitch-5003 module The FortiSwitch-5003 module provides base backplane interface switching for the FortiGate-5140 chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can use this switching for data communication or HA heartbeat communication between the base backplane interfaces of FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in slots 3 and up in these chassis.
Press this button to switch the ZRE LEDs to Link/Speed mode. In Link/Speed mode the ZRE LEDs use a solid color to indicate a link. The color of the LED indicates the speed of the link.

FortiSwitch-5003 module In a single chassis, more than one cluster can use the same base backplane interface for HA heartbeat communication. To separate heartbeat communication for multiple clusters on the same base backplane interface, configure a different HA group name and password for each cluster. In a single chassis, you can also use the same base backplane interface for data and HA heartbeat communication.

Hardware installation Turn both extraction levers to their fully-closed positions. The extraction levers should hook into the sides of the chassis slot. Closing the extraction levers draws the FortiSwitch-5003 module into place in the chassis slot and into contact with the chassis backplane. The FortiSwitch-5003 front panel should be in contact with the chassis front panel.
