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
FortiGate-
5000 Base Backplane Communication Guide
