Fortinet fortigate-5001a Betriebsanweisung

The FortiGate-5001A base backplane gigabit interfaces can be used for HA 
heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001A boards installed in the same 
or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also configure FortiGate-5001A 
boards to use the base backplane interfaces for data communication between 
FortiGate boards. To support base backplane communications your 
FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include one or more 
FortiSwitch-5003 boards. FortiSwitch-5003 boards are installed in chassis slots 1 
and 2. The FortiGate-5020 chassis supports base backplane communication with 
no additions or changes to the chassis.

For information about base backplane communication in FortiGate-5140 and 
FortiGate-5050 chassis, see the 

. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the 

The FortiGate-5001A fabric backplane gigabit interfaces can be used for data 
communication or HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001A boards 
installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. The fabric backplane 
is also reserved for future 10 gigabit operation. To support fabric backplane 
communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include one 
or more gigabit switch boards installed in chassis slots 1 and 2. The 
FortiGate-5020 chassis does not support fabric backplane communications. 

You can install one FortiGate ADM module in the FortiGate-5001A-DW front panel 
AMC double-width opening. The following FortiGate ADM modules are available:

• FortiGate-ADM-XB2, provides 2 accelerated XFP 10 gigabit interfaces.
• FortiGate-ADM-FB8, provides 8 accelerated SFP 1 gigabit interfaces.
