FortiGate-5020 chassis FortiGate-5020 chassis You can install one or two FortiGate-5000 series modules in the two slots of the FortiGate-5020 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5020 is a 4U chassis that contains two redundant AC to DC power supplies that connect to AC power. The FortiGate-5020 chassis also includes an internal cooling fan tray.
FortiGate-5020 back panel FortiGate-5020 back panel Physical description of the FortiGate-5020 chassis Figure 2 shows the back of a FortiGate-5020 chassis. The chassis back panel includes two redundant AC power connectors and provides access to the hot swappable cooling fan tray. Each AC power connector includes a 25 Amp circuit breaker that also functions as the on/off switch for the AC power connector.
FortiGate-5020 hardware procedures FortiGate-5020 hardware procedures This chapter describes: • Mounting the FortiGate-5020 chassis • Connecting the FortiGate-5020 chassis to AC power • Turning on FortiGate-5020 chassis power • Inserting FortiGate-5000 series modules into a FortiGate-5020 chassis Mounting the FortiGate-5020 chassis Note: Mount the FortiGate chassis before installing the FortiGate-5000 series modules.
Turning on FortiGate-5020 chassis power Turning on FortiGate-5020 chassis power Inserting FortiGate-5000 series modules into a FortiGate-5020 chassis Once the FortiGate-5020 chassis is connected to two AC power sources you can turn on the power by switching on the circuit breakers at the back of the FortiGate-5020 chassis (see Figure 2 on page 6 breakers).
Base backplane communications and HA between FortiGate-5020 chassis Base backplane communications and HA between FortiGate-5020 chassis This chapter describes: • FortiGate-5020 base backplane interfaces • FortiGate HA between two FortiGate-5020 chassis FortiGate-5020 base backplane interfaces For the FortiGate-5020 chassis, you can use the FortiGate-5000 module base backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat communication and data communication between the two FortiGate modules installed in the same chassis.
FortiGate HA between two FortiGate-5020 chassis FortiGate HA between two FortiGate-5020 chassis Changing the HA heartbeat interface configuration Base backplane communications and HA between FortiGate-5020 chassis The FortiGate-5020 chassis does not support direct ethernet connections between two or more FortiGate-5020 chassis. To configure HA for FortiGate modules installed in two different FortiGate-5020 chassis you must use one or two of the front panel interfaces of the FortiGate modules as HA heartbeat interfaces.
