Redundant connections to 
another FortiGate-5000 
series chassis.

Install the FortiGate-5003 module into a FortiGate 5050 or 5140 

chassis. Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap to avoid static 

discharges.

You must install the FortiGate-5003 module in specific slots in the 

chassis. These specific slots are wired on the backplane for internal 

port switching capabilities. For the FortiGate-5050 and FortiGate-5140, 

install the FortiGate-5003 in slot 1 or 2.

Note:

 If you are using one FortiGate-5003 module, install the module in 

slot 2.

To install the FortiGate-5003 module

1. Extend the extraction levers.
2. Carefully slide the module into a chassis slot. 

The module is 

seated properly when it touches the chassis up to the 

extraction levers.

3. Lock the extraction levers by pushing them towards each other.
4. If power is supplied to the chassis, the FortiGate-5003 module 

powers on when the extraction levers are closed.

5. Tighten the mounting knots on the left and right sides of the 

FortiGate-5003 front panel.
