FortiSwitch-5003 system
The FortiSwitch-5003 system 
provides base backplane 
communication between 
FortiGate security boards installed in FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis. 
Base backplane communication can be used for HA heartbeat communication 
and for data communication. The FortiSwitch-5003 board can also provide HA 
heartbeat and data communication between chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 board 
is only used in FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. For details about the 
FortiSwitch-5003 board, see 
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system
The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system is 
very similar to a single FortiGate unit, but with 
much higher capacity and with support for 
failover protection and scalability. The 
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system consists 
of a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis 
with one or two Input/Output or I/O boards 
(FortiController-5208 boards) and one or more worker boards (FortiGate-5005FA2 
boards running in DIST mode). The I/O boards provide 10 gigabit and 1gigabit 
network connections and distribute traffic to the worker boards. The worker 
boards provide FortiGate security system functions including firewall, VPN, IPS, 
antivirus, antispam, and so on. For details about the FortiGate-5005-DIST security 
system, see 
.
FortiController-5208 system
An integral part of a 
FortiGate-5005-DIST Security 
System, the FortiController-5208 
board provides all Fortigate-5005-DIST 10gigabit and 1 gigabit network 
interfaces. The FortiContro0ller-5208 board also provides the management 
interface to the FortiGate-5005-DIST system and controls backplane 
communication between all FortiGate-5005-DIST components.
You can create a FortiGate-5005-DIST high-throughput multi-threat network 
security system using one or two FortiGate boards and multiple FortiGate-5005 
boards in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis. A FortiGate-5020 chassis 
cannot be used to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST system. Functionally, one or two 
FortiGate boards using the processing power of multiple FortiGate-5005 boards 
function much like a single FortiGate unit, but with far greater capacity. For details 
about the FortiController-55208 board, see 
Warnings and cautions
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or 
maintain FortiGate-5000 series equipment. Read and comply with all 
warnings, cautions and notices in this document.
