FortiGate-5140-R
This document describes how to change the configuration of the FortiGate-5140-R
chassis to support FortiSwitch-5203B. board. By default, the FortiGate-5140-R does not
provide adequate cooling or power for the FortiSwitch-5203B board. This technical note
describes how to:
• Increase cooling by setting the minimum fan level to 8
• Increase the power capacity for chassis slots 1 and 2 to 220 watts
To increase cooling capacity and power capacity
To complete this procedure, you need:
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist strap
terminal.
2
Connect to the FortiGate-5140-R shelf manager CLI.
You can connect to the shelf manager CLI by connecting the console cable supplied
with your chassis to a management PC console port and to the appropriate shelf
alarm panel serial port. To connect to the primary shelf manager use Serial 1. To
connect to the secondary shelf manager use Serial 2.
