FortiGate-5001SX security system
The FortiGate-5001SX security system module is a high-performance FortiGate 
security system with a total of 8 Gigabit ethernet interfaces. The 
FortiGate-5001SX module supports high-end features including 802.1Q VLANs 
and multiple virtual domains. You can also configure two or more 
FortiGate-5001SX modules to create a high availability (HA) cluster to provide 
failover protection and load balancing. HA clustering uses two internal gigabit 
interfaces for HA communication through the FortiGate-5000 series chassis 
backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit interfaces available for network 
connections.
The FortiGate-5001SX module includes the following features:
A total of eight gigabit interfaces
Four gigabit interfaces that can accept Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) 
fiber or copper transceivers (interfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4)
Four 1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces 5, 6, 7, 
and 8)
DB-9 RS-232 serial console connection
USB connector
Mounting hardware
LED status indicators
The FortiGate-5001SX module comes supplied with four fiber or four copper SFP 
transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001SX interfaces 1 to 4, you 
must insert the SPF transceivers into the FortiGate-5001SX front panel cage slots 
numbered 1 to 4.
The FortiGate-5001SX is shipped with two RAM DIMs. You must install the RAM 
DIMMs into the slots provided on the FortiGate-5001SX circuit board before 
inserting the FortiGate-5001SX module into your FortiGate-5000 series chassis.
