It is important to carefully seat the FortiGate ASM-FX2 module all the way into the chassis. 

Only then will the FortiGate ASM-FX2 module power-on.

To complete this procedure, you need:

• A FortiGate ASM-FX2 module.

• A FortiGate chassis with an empty AMC single-width (SW) opening.

• To avoid any electrostatic discharge, install in a static free area.

FortiGate ASM-FX2 modules are not hot swappable. The procedure for inserting the

FortiGate ASM-FX2 module into a FortiGate chassis slot requires the FortiGate unit to be 

powered off.

To avoid any electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling FortiGate ASM-FX2 modules, 

install in a static free area.

To insert a FortiGate ASM-FX2 module into a FortiGate chassis

Ensure the FortiGate unit is powered off before proceeding.

1. 

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

2. 

Pull the latch on the ASM-FX2 module to the extended position.

3. 

Insert the ASM-FX2 module into the empty slot in the chassis. Ensure the Fortinet logo 

4. 

is right-side up. It should be on the lower-right corner of the module.
Carefully guide the module into the chassis.

5. 

Insert the module by applying moderate force to the front faceplate near the upper edge 

6. 

to slide the module into the slot.
