The FortiGate ADM-XB2 module ships with two XFP transceivers that you must install for nor-
mal operation of the FortiGate ADM-XB2 module. The XFP transceivers are inserted into cage 
sockets numbered 1 and 2 on the FortiGate ADM-XB2 front panel. You can install the SFP 
transceivers before or after inserting the FortiGate ADM-XB2 module into a FortiGate unit.

To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate- ADM-XB2 module
• Two XFP transceivers
• To avoid any electrostatic discharge, install in a static free area.

FortiGate ADM-XB2  modules  must  be  protected  from  static  discharge  and  physical  shock. 
Only handle or work with FortiGate ADM-XB2 modules at a static-free workstation.

Handling the XFP transceivers by holding the release Latch can damage the connector.
Do not force the XFP transceivers into the cage slots.
If the transceiver does not easily slide in and click into place, it may not be aligned correctly or 

It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate ADM-XB2 module all the way into the chassis. 
Only then will the FortiGate ADM-XB2 module power-on and start up correctly.

To complete this procedure, you need:

• A FortiGate ADM-XB2 module
• A FortiGate chassis with an empty AMC double-width (DW) opening.
• To avoid any electrostatic discharge, install in a static free area.

FortiGate ADM-XB2 modules are not hot swappable. The procedure for inserting the
FortiGate ADM-XB2 module into a FortiGate chassis slot requires the FortiGate unit to be 
powered off.

FortiGate ADM-XB2 modules must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. 
Only handle or work with FortiGate ADM-XB2 modules at a static-free workstation.

To insert a FortiGate ADM-XB2 module into a FortiGate chassis

Ensure the FortiGate unit is powered off before proceeding.

Attach an ESD wrist or ankle strap to your wrist or ankle and to an ESD socket or to a 
bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.

Remove the panel block on the FortiGate unit using the hot swap latch.

Insert the FortiGate ADM-XB2 module into the empty slot in the chassis. Ensure the 
Fortinet logo is right-side up. It should be on the upper-right corner of the module

Carefully guide the module into the chassis.

Pull out the hot swap latch on the right-hand side of the module to the extended position 
if it is pushed in.

Insert the module by applying moderate force to the front faceplate near the upper edge  
to slide the module into the slot.

may be upside down. If this happens, remove the XFP transceiver, realign it or rotate it  and 
slide it in again.

To Install the transceivers

Remove the caps from XFP cage sockets on the FortiGate ADM-XB2 front panel.
Hold the sides of the XFP transceiver and slide XFP transceiver into the cage socket 

until it clicks into place.

The module should glide smoothly into the chassis. If you encounter any resistance while 
sliding the module in, the module could be aligned incorrectly. Pull the module back out 
and try inserting it again.

Press the hot swap latch firmly to lock in the module.

Power on the FortiGate unit. 

The hot swap (HS) LED turns on and then begins flashing. 

After a few minutes the HS LED will turn off. If the module is operating correctly the PWR 
LED will stay lit.

Removing the AMC module

Should you need to remove the ADM-XB2, shut down the FortiGate unit using proper shut 
down procedures.

To remove the ADM-XB2 module

Ensure the FortiGate unit is powered off before proceeding.

To avoid any electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling FortiGate ASM-XB2 modules, 
install in a static free area.

Pull the hot swap latch on the right-hand side of the module to unlock the module to the 
extended position to unlock the module from the FortiGate unit.

Gently pull the hot swap latch to remove the module.
