If the chassis is powered on, as the module slides into place the IPM LED starts
flashing blue. If the module is aligned correctly, inserted all the way into the slot,
and the extraction levers are properly locked the IPM LED flashes blue for a few
seconds. At the same time the STATUS LED turns amber, and the interface LEDs
flash green. After a few seconds the IPM LED goes out and the
FortiController-5208 module firmware starts up. If the module is operating
correctly, the front panel LEDs are lit as described in
Table 3
.
If the module has not been inserted properly the IPM LED changes to solid blue
and all other LEDS turn off. If this occurs, squeeze and open the extraction levers,
slide the module part way out, and repeat the insertion process.

Fully tighten the left and right mounting knots to lock the FortiController-5208
module into position in the chassis slot.
Removing a FortiController-5208 module from a chassis
The following procedure describes how to correctly use the FortiController-5208
mounting components shown in
Figure 2
to remove a FortiController-5208
module from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis slot.
To remove a FortiController-5208 module from a FortiGate-5000 series
chassis
FortiController-5208 modules are hot swappable. The procedure for removing
the FortiController-5208 module from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis
slot is the same whether or not the chassis is powered on or not.

Caution:
Do not carry the FortiController-5208 module by holding the extraction levers.
When inserting or removing the FortiController-5208 module from a chassis slot, handle
the module by the front panel. The extraction levers are designed only for positioning and
locking the FortiController-5208 module into a slot in a chassis and should not be used for
handling the module. If the extraction levers become bent or damaged the
FortiController-5208 module may not align correctly in the chassis slot.
