An easily accessible disconnect device, such as a circuit breaker, should be incorporated into the data
center wiring that connects power to the FortiGate-5000 series equipment.
Install FortiGate-5000 series chassis at the lower positions of a rack to avoid making the rack top-heavy
and unstable.
Do not insert metal objects or tools into open chassis slots.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiGate-5000 series equipment. Only perform the
procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you
can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap and attaching it to an ESD
connector or to a metal part of a FortiGate chassis.
Some FortiGate-5000 series components may overload your supply circuit and impact your overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Refer to nameplate ratings to address this concern.
Make sure all FortiGate-5000 series components have reliable grounding. Fortinet recommends direct
connections to the branch circuit.
If you install a FortiGate-5000 series component in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Make sure the
operating ambient temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature.
Installing FortiGate-5000 series equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Refer to the ATCA specification for more
information about cooling and airflow requirements.
This equipment is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment room,

Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
results in accelerated small packet performance required for voice, video, and
other multimedia streaming applications. The following traffic scenarios are
recommended for the accelerated interfaces:
•

Small packet applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP).
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC accelerated interfaces provide wire speed
performance for small packet applications.

•

Latency sensitive applications, such as multimedia.
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC accelerated interfaces add much less latency
than normal (non-accelerated) interfaces.

Base backplane gigabit communication

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system

•

Session Oriented Traffic with long session lifetime, such as FTP sessions.
Packet size does not affect performance for traffic with long session lifetime.
For long sessions, processing that would otherwise be handled by the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC CPUs is off-loaded to the acceleration module.

•

Firewall and intrusion protection (IPS), when there is a reasonable percentage
of P2P packets.

•

Firewall, intrusion protection (IPS), and antivirus, when there is a reasonable
percentage of P2P packets.

•

Firewall and IPSec VPN applications.

The following traffic scenarios should be handled by the normal (or nonaccelerated) FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC interfaces:
•

Session oriented traffic when the session lifetime is very short.

•

Firewall and antivirus only applications.
Traffic will not be off-loaded to the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC accelerator
module. The result will be high CPU usage because of the high CPU
requirement for antivirus scanning.

FA2 interfaces and active-active HA performance
FortiOS v3.0 MR4 firmware can also use FA2 acceleration to improve
active-active HA load balancing performance. See the FortiGate HA Overview or
the FortiGate HA Guide for more information.

Base backplane gigabit communication
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC port9 and port10 base backplane gigabit interfaces
can be used for HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
boards installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also
configure FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards to use the base backplane interfaces
for data communication between FortiGate boards. To support base backplane
communications your FortiGate-5140 or 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 FortiGate-5000 Base Backplane Communication
Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the
FortiSwitch-5003 Guide.

Changing FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC jumper settings

You can install the following types of SFP transceivers for connectors 1, 2, 3,
and 4:
•

optical SFP transceivers
•
•

•

SFP 1000Base-LX, SM module
SFP 1000Base-SX, MM module (multimode)

copper SFP transceivers
•

SFP 1000Base-T, SERDES version only (SGMII version not supported)

To install SFP transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:

•

A FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board

•

Four SFP transceivers

•

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

Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist 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-5001FA2-LENC front
panel.

Caution: Handling the SFP transceivers by holding the release Latch can damage the
connector. Do not force the SFP transceivers into the cage slots. If the transceiver does not
easily slide in and click into place, it may not be aligned correctly. If this happens, remove
the SFP transceiver, realign it and slide it in again.

For cage slots 1 and 2, hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide SFP
transceiver into the cage socket until it clicks into place.

For cage slots 3 to 8, turn each SFP transceiver over before sliding it into the cage
slot until it locks into place.

Changing FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC jumper settings
The JP3 jumper on the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board is factory set by Fortinet
into one of two positions (see Figure 3 on page 12):
•

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-5001FA2-LENC board into a chassis the board may not start up or may
not be able to communicate with the chassis shelf manager.

Changing FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC jumper settings

Hardware installation

Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them.
However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC from a FortiGate-5140 or
FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3
jumper.
Also, if a new FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board does not function properly, you
should check the JP3 jumper settings.

You can now insert the board into a chassis and verify that it is operating correctly.
For inserting instructions, see “Inserting a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a
chassis” on page 13.

Inserting a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a chassis
The following procedure describes how to correctly use the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC mounting components shown in Figure 4 to insert a
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a FortiGate-5000 series chassis slot.
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board left handle contacts to a hidden power
switch. The board must be fully installed in a chassis slot and this handle must be
closed and locked for the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board to receive power and
operate normally. If the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board is not receiving power,
the IPM LED glows blue and all other LEDs remain off.
It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board all the way
into the chassis, to not use too much force on the handles, and to make sure that
the handles are properly locked and engaged with the hidden power switch. Only
then will the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board power-on and start up correctly.

To insert a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a FortiGate-5000 series
chassis

Caution: Do not carry the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board by holding the handles. When
inserting or removing the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board from a chassis slot, handle the
board by the front panel. The handles are designed for positioning and locking the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board into a slot in a chassis only and should not be used for
handling the board. If the handles become bent or damaged the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
board may not align correctly in the chassis slot and the handles may not activate the
power switch.

To complete this procedure, you need:

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC does not startup
Positioning of FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC handles, the presence or absence of a
functioning shelf manager, incorrect jumper settings and firmware problems may
all prevent a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board for starting up correctly. This section
describes how to find and fix each of these problems.

All chassis: left handle not contacting power switch
The left handle activates the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board power switch.

Switch Contact

If the left handle is damaged or positioned incorrectly the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board does not receive power and will not start up.
Make sure the left handle is correctly aligned, fully inserted and locked.
Sometimes you may have to make small adjustments to the handle to achieve
contact with the switch.

FortiGate-5020 chassis: incorrect FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
jumper settings
If the JP3 jumper on the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC circuit board is set to detect a
shelf manager, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board will not start up when inserted
into a FortiGate-5020 chassis. This occurs because the FortiGate-5020 chassis
does not have a shelf manager.
To fix the problem, remove the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board and check the
position of the JP3 jumper (see Figure 3 on page 12). Make sure the jumper
connects pins 1 and 2 (to the right when seen from the front of the board).

FortiGate-5140 or 5050 chassis: shelf manager not installed or
not functioning
If you are operating a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC in a FortiGate-5140 or 5050
chassis, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board will not start up if the JP3 jumper
connects pins 2 and 3 (see Figure 3 on page 12) and a shelf manager is not
installed or is not operating correctly.
If the shelf manager is not installed or not operating correctly, when you insert a
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board, the board attempts to communicate with the
shelf manager. If the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board cannot communicate with
the shelf manager, the board will not startup.
If a shelf manager is installed, make sure it is functioning normally (the Status LED
is green and all other LEDs are off). If the shelf manager is not functioning
normally, you can try removing it from the chassis and reinstalling it. If this does
not solve the problem, contact Fortinet Technical Support.
If the shelf manager has been removed from the chassis, you should re-install it. If
you are planning on operating the chassis without a shelf manager, you can move
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC JP3 jumper between pins 1 and 2. The
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC should now start up.

Troubleshooting

Hardware installation

All chassis: Firmware problem
If the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board power switch is connected and the JP3
jumper and shelf manager are set as required, and the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
still does not start up, the problem could be with FortiOS. Connect to the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC console and try cycling the power to the board. If the
BIOS starts up, interrupt the BIOS startup and install a new firmware image. For
details about installing a new firmware image in this way, see the FortiGate-5000
Series Firmware and FortiUSB Guide.
If this does not solve the problem, contact Fortinet Technical Support.

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC cannot display chassis information
If the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board is installed in a FortiGate-5140 or 5050
chassis, if a shelf manager is operating in the chassis, and if the JP3 jumper is set
between pins 2 and 3, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board should be able to
communicate with the chassis shelf manager.
If the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board can communicate with the shelf manager,
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based manager System > Chassis pages
should display information about the boards installed in the chassis. If any one of
the conditions listed above are not met, theFortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based
manager system chassis pages will not display chassis information.
If all of the above conditions are met, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
System > Chassis > Blades list displays a list of all of the boards installed in the
chassis. If any of the other FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards in the chassis have
the JP3 jumper between pins 1 and 2, these slots will appear empty. Figure 6
shows the blades list for a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board installed in slot 3 of a
FortiGate-5050 chassis. The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards in slots 3 and 4
are called node cards. The FortiGate-5003 board in slot 2 is called a switch card.

Planning the configuration

Quick Configuration Guide

Planning the configuration
Before beginning to configure your FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system,
you need to plan how to integrate the system into your network. Your configuration
plan depends on the operating mode that you select: NAT/Route mode (the
default) or Transparent mode.

NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system is visible to
the networks that it is connected to. Each interface connected to a network must
be configured with an IP address that is valid for that network. In many
configurations, in NAT/Route mode all of the FortiGate interfaces are on different
networks, and each network is on a separate subnet.
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
security system is deployed as a gateway between private and public networks. In
the default NAT/Route mode configuration, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security
system functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system. No traffic can pass through the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system until you add firewall policies.
In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode.
In NAT mode, the FortiGate firewall performs network address translation before
IP packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation
takes place.

Quick Configuration Guide

Choosing the configuration tool

Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system is invisible to
the network. All of the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC interfaces are connected to
different segments of the same network. In Transparent mode you only have to
configure a management IP address so that you can connect to the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system to make configuration changes and so
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system can connect to external services
such as the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN).

You would typically deploy a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system in
Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a
router. In the default Transparent mode configuration, the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system functions as a firewall. No traffic can
pass through the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system until you add firewall
policies.

Choosing the configuration tool
You can use either the web-based manager or the Command Line Interface (CLI)
to configure the FortiGate board.

Web-based manager
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based manager is an easy to use
management tool. Use the web-based manager to configure the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC administrator password, the interface addresses, the
default gateway, and the DNS server addresses.
Requirements:
•
•

An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board and
management computer.
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher on the management computer.

Factory default settings

Quick Configuration Guide

Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to configure the administrator
password, the interface addresses, the default gateway, and the DNS server
addresses.
Requirements:
• The serial connector that came packaged with your FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC
board.
• Terminal emulation application (for example, HyperTerminal for Windows) on
the management computer.

Factory default settings
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC unit ships with a factory default configuration. The
default configuration allows you to connect to and use the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based manager to configure the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board onto the network. To configure the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board onto the network you add an administrator
password, change the network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP
addresses, and, if required, configure basic routing.

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base backplane data communication
You can configure the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards for data communications
using the two FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis base
backplane interfaces.
Note: Different FortiGate-5000 series boards may use different names for the base
backplane interfaces. For example, on the FortiGate-5001SX and FortiGate-5001FA2
boards the base backplane interfaces are called port9 and port10. On the
FortiGate-5005FA2 and FortiGate-5001A boards the base backplane interfaces are called
base1 and base2.

By default the base backplane interfaces are used for HA heartbeat
communication. However, using the information in this section, you can configure
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC to also use the base backplane interfaces for data
communication. Once the base backplane interfaces are configured for data
communication you can operate and configure them in the same way as any
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC interface.
Note: VLAN communication over the backplane is only available for FortiGate-5005FA2
boards installed in a FortiGate-5020 chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 does not support
VLAN-tagged packets so VLAN communication is not available over the FortiGate-5050
and FortiGate-5140 chassis backplanes.

Although not recommended, you can use base backplane interfaces for data
communication and HA heartbeat communication at the same time.

Quick Configuration Guide

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base backplane data communication

In a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis, FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base
backplane communication requires one or two FortiSwitch-5003 boards.
A FortiSwitch-5003 board installed in chassis slot 1 provides communication on
the port9 interface. A FortiSwitch-5003 board installed in chassis slot 2 provides
communication on the port10 interface. The FortiGate-5020 chassis supports
base backplane data communication for both interfaces with no additions or
changes to the chassis.
For details and configuration examples of FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base
backplane communication using the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the FortiGate5000 Base Backplane Communication Guide.
To enable base backplane data communication from the
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based manager
From the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC web-based manager use the following steps
to enable base backplane data communication.
1

Go to System > Network > Interface.

Select Show backplane interfaces.
The port9 and port10 backplane interfaces now appear in the Interface list.
