The FortiGate-5001SX module ships with four SPF transceivers that you must 
install for normal operation of the FortiGate-5001SX module. The SFP 
transceivers are inserted into cage sockets numbered 1 to 4 on the 
FortiGate-5001SX front panel. You can install the SFP transceivers before or after 
inserting the FortiGate-5001SX module into a FortiGate chassis.

You can install 1000Base-LX (single-mode fiber) or 1000Base-T (copper cable) 
SFP transceivers. The 1000Base-LX transceivers use fiber connectors while the 
1000Base-T transceivers use RJ-45 connectors.

To complete this procedure, you need:

•

A FortiGate-5001SX module

•

Four SPF transceivers

•

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with 
connection cord

Attach the ESD wrist or ankle strap to your wrist or ankle and to an ESD socket or 
to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.

Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the FortiGate-5001SX front panel.

Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide SFP transceiver into the cage 
socket until it clicks into place.

The JP3 jumper on the FortiGate-5001SX module is factory set by Fortinet into 
one of two positions (see 

•

For a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis, the jumper connects pins 2 
and 3

•

For a FortiGate-5020 chassis, the jumper connects pins 1 and 2

The jumper must connect pins 2 and 3 if the chassis contains a shelf manager. 
Both the FortiGate-5140 and the FortiGate-5050 contain shelf managers, and the 
FortiGate-5020 does not.

If the JP3 jumper settings are incorrect, when you insert the FortiGate-5001SX 
module into a chassis the module may not start up or may not be able to 
communicate with the chassis shelf manager.

Caution: FortiGate-5000 series and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules must be protected 
from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5000 series 
and FortiSwitch-5000 series modules at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded 
electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling FortiGate-5000 
series or FortiSwitch-5000 series modules.

Caution: Handling the SFP 

transceivers

 by holding the release Latch can damage the 

connector.
