FortiGate-5020 chassis

You can install one or two FortiGate-5000 series modules in the two slots of the 
FortiGate-5020 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5020 is a 4U chassis that contains 
two redundant AC to DC power supplies that connect to AC power. The 
FortiGate-5020 chassis also includes an internal cooling fan tray. If both slots 
contain FortiGate-5001SX modules, the FortiGate-5020 chassis provides a total 
of 16 Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces.

If you install the same FortiGate-5000 series module in both slots, you can 
configure the modules to operate as an HA cluster. HA heartbeat communications 
between the modules uses the FortiGate-5020 backplane. No extra switching or 
other connections are required.

The FortiGate-5020 chassis can only be connected to AC power. Two redundant 
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are factory installed in the FortiGate-5020 
chassis.

 shows the front of a FortiGate-5020 chassis. Two FortiGate-5002FB2 

modules are installed. The FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are factory 
installed behind the panel at the top of the chassis. The power LEDs for the power 
supplies are visible on the front panel as well.

Caution: 

Do not operate the FortiGate-5020 chassis with open slots on the front panel. For 

optimum cooling performance and safety, the slots must contain a FortiGate-5000 series 
module or an air baffle slot filler.
