FortiGate-5144C Chassis Guide 6

FortiGate-5144C Chassis
You can install up to 14 FortiGate-5000 series boards in the 14 slots of the FortiGate-5144C ATCA chassis. The
FortiGate-5144C is a 14U 19-inch rackmount ATCA chassis that contains four redundant hot swappable DC power entry
Modules (PEMs). The PEMs connect to -48V DC power and supply 400 W to each chassis front slot. The FortiGate-
5144C chassis also includes four hot swappable cooling fan trays that provide 450W of cooling power per slot and a
front replaceable air filter with redundant pressure sensors. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001D boards, the
FortiGate-5144C chassis provides a total of 28 FortiGate 40Gbps Ethernet interfaces and 28 FortiGate 10Gbps
interfaces.
Using the dual star 40Gbps fabric and 1Gbps base backplane interfaces the FortiGate-5144C chassis can support a
wide range of different configurations. For example:
lUp to 14 FortiGate-5001D boards in chassis slots 1 to 14, each board operating as a separate FortiGate firewall.
lOne or two FortiController-5913C boards in chassis slots 1 and 2 in a dual-star configuration to support a 100 Gbps
session-aware load balancing cluster (SLBC) that distributes traffic to up to 12 FortiGate-5001D boards (called
workers)installed in chassis slots 3 to 14.
lOne or two FortiController-5903C boards to support a 40 Gbps SLBC with up to 12 FortiGate-5001D workers.
lOne or two FortiController-5913C or FortiController-5903C boards in chassis slots 1 and 2 can also be used for
FortiGate-5144C fabric and base backplane switching and to support FGCP clustering.
lTwo FortiController-5103B boards can be installed in slots 1 and 2 to create an SLBC for FortiGate-5001D (or older)
workers. FortiController-5103B boards can also be used for fabric and base backplane switching and to support
FGCP clustering.
lTwo FortiController-5902D boards can be installed in slots 1 and 2 to support content clustering to load balance
traffic to multiple FortiGate-5001D workers.
The FortiGate-5144C chassis requires -48V DC power. If DC power is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053B
power supply shelf and PSU-5000B power supplies (purchased separately).
FortiGate-5144C front panel
The following illustration shows the front of a FortiGate-5144C chassis containing two FortiController-5903C boards are
installed in slots 1 and 2 and 12 FortiGate-5001D boards installed in slots 3 to 14.
These components are also visible on the front of the FortiGate-5144C chassis:
lThe primary and secondary Shelf Managers. Fortinet ships theFortiGate-5144C chassis with the primary shelf
manager installed. You can purchase and install a secondary shelf manager for redundancy. The shelf manager
provides power allocation, cooling, alarms, shelf status, displays alarms and includes a telco alarm interface.
lThe location of the front-replaceable air filter frame and retention screws.
lThe location of hot swappable fan trays 1 and 2 (can be accessed by opening the top cover at the front of the
chassis).
lThe Electrostatic discharge (ESD) socket, used for connecting an ESD wrist band when working with the chassis.

Do not operate the FortiGate-5144C chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis slot must contain either a FortiGate-
5000 series board or an air baffle slot filler. For the same reason, all cooling fan trays and the
air filter should be installed while the chassis is operating. As well all four PEMs (two primary
and two redundant) must be installed in the back of the chassis.

FortiGate-5144C back panel
The FortiGate-5144C chassis back panel includes access to hot swappable fan trays 3 and 4.
The FortiGate-5144C chassis back panel includes four -48V to -60 VDC power entry modules (PEMs). Fortinet ships the
FortiGate-5144C chassis with all four installed. The PEMs are divided into two power feeds. PEMs 1 and 2 make up
feed A. PEMs 3 and 4 make up power feed B. To provide power to the chassis you must connect the PEMs in feed A. To
provide redundant power you can also connect the PEMs in feed B.
FortiGate-5144C 6.2.3 Chassis Guide 8

FortiGate-5144C Chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Each PEM has two power feeds (feed 1 and feed 2) that include a -48V/-60 VDC terminal (labeled -) and a RTN terminal
(labeled +). To connect a PEM, both of its feeds must be connected to DC power.
The back panel also contains 14 RTM slots numbered to correspond to the front panel slots. When the chassis is
shipped, these slots are covered by RTM air baffle slot covers.
The back panel includes the FortiGate-5144C chassis ground connector that must be connected to ground.

Power requirements
The FortiGate-5144C is rated to draw up to 153A. Each of the four PEM feeds/terminals draws up to 39A with -48VDC
input and 450W/slot (400W front and 50W RTM). If no RTM slots are used, the total current will be up to 138.5A and
with up to 35A per feed with -48VDC input. (the draw from the 4 feeds may not be even.)
The FortiGate-5144C chassis is designed to be installed in a Telecom or data center or similar location that has
available -48VDC power fed from a listed circuit breaker (also called battery power or main DC power). Fortinet expects
that mostFortiGate-5144C customers will be installing their chassis in a location that is already equipped with a -48VDC
power system fed from a listed circuit breaker that provides power to existing networking or telecom equipment. The
FortiGate-5144C chassis is designed to be connected directly to this DC power system.
If DC power is not available you can use one or more FortiGate-5053B power converter shelves equipped with PSU-
5000B power supplies to convert AC to DC to supply DC power to the FortiGate-5144C chassis from an AC source.

Fortinet ships the FortiGate-5144C chassis with the primary shelf manager installed. You can purchase a secondary
shelf manager for redundancy.
If your chassis has two shelf managers, they support redundant operation with automatic switchover. If both shelf
managers are operating normally, one acts as the active shelf manager and the other as the backup. You can tell
which shelf manager is active by the state of the shelf manager front panel ACT(Active) LED. This LED is solid green for
the active shelf manager and flashing green for the backup shelf manager.
The active shelf manager performs all shelf manager functions. The shelf managers monitor each other and if the active
shelf manager stops communicating (for example because it has failed or is restarting) the backup shelf manager
becomes the active shelf manager. When the failed or restarting former active shelf manager comes back up it will
detect that the other shelf manager is active and become the backup shelf manager. Also, if one shelf manager fails or
is removed the other will operate independently as the active shelf manager and the chassis will continue to function
normally.
The active Shelf Manager communicates with Intelligent Platform Management Controllers (IPMCs) in the chassis,
each of which is responsible for local management of one or more Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), such as boards, fan
trays or power entry modules. Management communication within a chassis occurs primarily over the Intelligent
Platform Management Bus (IPMB), which is implemented using radial bus technology.
The active shelf manager controls chassis power allocation, monitors chassis operating parameters, monitors and
controls chassis cooling, and generates alarms if the chassis encounters problems. The active shelf manager also
displays alarms and includes a telco alarm interface. All FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the chassis communicate
with the active Shelf Manager through the IPMCs.
The shelf managers are hot swappable. You remove a shelf manager by pressing and holding the hot swap button. The
hot swap LED starts blinking blue. When the hot swap LED turns solid blue you can loosen both retention screws and
remove the shelf manager from the chassis.
FortiGate-5144C 6.2.3 Chassis Guide 13

FortiGate-5144C Chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Connecting to the Shelf manager and shelf manager Ethernet channels
Each shelf manager has an RS-232 serial port for connecting to the shelf manager console CLI. For information about
using this port, see Connecting to the shelf manager CLI using the shelf manager console port on page 36.
Each shelf manager also includes an Ethernet switch that connects the shelf manager front panel Ethernet interface and
the shelf manager base channel backplane Ethernet interface.The switch has two Ethernet channels, ETH0 and ETH1:
lETH0 connects to the shelf manager Ethernet switch. This switch splits ETH0 into 2 independent channels. One
channel connects to both shelf manager front panel Ethernet interfaces and the other connects to the chassis
backplane base channel SH1.
lETH1 connects the Shelf manager directly to the chassis backplane base channel SH2.
Shelf Manager Ethernet switch and ETH0 and ETH1 architecture
The factory default shelf manager ETH0 port IP address is 192.168.0.2. You can change this IPaddress from the shelf
manager CLI. If your chassis has one shelf manager it will be installed in the primary shelf manager slot and you can
communicate with it by connecting the shelf manager's front panel Ethernet interface (ETH0) or to the B1 or B2 interface
of a hub or switch board installed in chassis slot 1 or 2.
If your chassis has two shelf managers (one in the primary shelf manager slot and one in the secondary shelf manager
slot) either one of them can be the active shelf manager. From an external device you can only connect to the active
shelf manager. You should connect the front panel Ethernet interface (ETH0) of both shelf managers to your network.
That way, no matter which shelf manage is active you can still connect to the active shelf manager using the shelf
manager IP address (default 192.168.0.2). You can change the active Shelf Manager's IP address from the shelf
manager CLI. You can also connect to the active shelf manager from the B1 or B2 interface of a hub or switch board
installed in chassis slot 1 or 2
You cannot connect to the backup shelf manager from an external device and you normally don't have to. However, if
you want to connect to the backup shelf manager you can log into the active shelf manager and then Telnet to
192.168.1.3. This is the fixed internal IP address of the backup shelf manager and is normally only used to allow
communication between the active and backup shelf managers.
If a failover occurs the active shelf manager's IP address will be transferred to the new active shelf manager. The new
backup shelf manager will have the internal IP address of 192.168.1.3.

FortiGate-5144C Chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Shelf manager Ethernet connections to chassis slots (and boards)
The following diagram shows how the shelf managers connect to the chassis slots. Each shelf manager has two
connections to the chassis; one to each of the hub slots. ETH0 connects to SH1 of one chassis slot and ETH1 connects
to SH2 of the other chassis slot.
Shelf Manager Ethernet cross-connections and connections to chassis slots
Changing the shelf manager switch configuration to prevent Ethernet loops
Because ETH0 connects to both shelf manager front panel Ethernet interface and to the chassis backplane base
channel via the shelf manager onboad Ethernet switch, it is possible to create an Ethernet loop if you connect the shelf
FortiGate-5144C 6.2.3 Chassis Guide 15

FortiGate-5144C Chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
manager front panel interfaces and the B1 or B2 interface of a switch board in slot 1 or 2 to same network. So
connecting these interfaces to the same network is not recommended.
The most recent version of the shelf manager firmware (version 3.4.2.4G) is factory set to disable the connection
between the shelf manager switch and the backplane. This means that you must connect to the shelf manager front
panel Ethernet interface to manage the shelf manager. This also means that if you connect the shelf manager front
panel interfaces and the B1 or B2 backplane to the same network you will not get looping.
Firmware version 3.4.2.4G includes the ShMC_Eth_Switch_config command that can be used to change the
switch configuration. The command has four options:
lget_EEPROM_config displays the current switch configuration.
lset_default_EEPROM sets the switch to the default switch configuration. The default configuration enables
BOTH the front panel and the backplane interfaces.
ldisable_backplane_port disables the connection to the backplane. This option is factory set by Fortinet.
ldisable_front_panel_port disables the connection to the front panel Ethernet interface.
Entering these commands (except for get_EEPROM_config) reboots the shelf manager. If your chassis has two shelf
managers if you enter one of these commands to change the configuration you must enter the command on each shelf
manager. When you enter a command the active shelf manager reboots and while this is happening the backup shelf
manager becomes the active shelf manager.

Radial IPMB bus topology
The FortiGate-5144C backplane includes a redundant dual star radial IPMB bus for higher reliability. Each shelf
manager provides 14 unique IPMB0-A and 14 unique IPMB0-B links to the 14 chassis slots. This means 28 IPMB
channels per shelf manager. The radial topology is shown below.

Using the shelf manager CLI
You can use the shelf manager command line interface (CLI) to communicate with the intelligent management
controllers of the chassis, with boards in the chassis, and with the shelf manager itself. The CLI is an IPMI-based set of
commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management application or a script. Using the CLI,
you can access information about the current state of the chassis including current board population, current sensor
values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall chassis health.
To get started using the shelf manager CLI, see Shelf Manager CLI on page 36.
Shelf Manager fan and power control
The FortiGate-5144C shelf managers monitor the internal temperature of the chassis and adjust the operating speed of
the cooling fans as required.
When the chassis is first powered on all cooling fans run at full speed. Once the shelf manager is up and running, the
shelf manager reduces cooling fan speeds to maintain an optimum temperature in the chassis. If shelf managers are
not installed or not operating correctly the FortiGate-5144C chassis cooling fans always operate at full speed.
Telco alarms
The Telco Alarm Interface is a standard DB-15 male Telco Form-c connector. The external dry relay Telco alarm
interface (48VDC) provides Telco form-c relay connections for minor, major and critical power faults. The cable required
to connect to the alarm interface is not supplied by Fortinet. To monitor alarms you should connect to the telco alarm
interface of the active shelf alarm panel, which by default is the one on the left.
The Telco alarm interface relay circuits are capable of carrying 60 VDC or 1 A with a max. rating of 30 VA. The shelf
alarm panel accepts timed pulse inputs for clearing minor and major alarm states. Reset is accomplished by asserting a
voltage differential from 3.3 V to 48 V for between 200 and 300 ms. The acceptance voltage range is from 0 to 48 VDC
continuous (handles up to 60 VDC at a 50% duty cycle). The current drawn by a reset input does not exceed 12 mA.

The alarm LED reset button activates the alarm cutoff (ACO) state for major, minor, and user-defined alarms. You
cannot reset critical alarms with the alarm LED reset button.
When the ACO state is activated, active alarm LEDs blink and all of the alarm relays are deactivated. The alarm reset
button activates the ACO state but does not clear the alarm completely.

Air Filter
The FortiGate-5144C chassis includes a front replaceable air filter that removes dust from intake air and provides static
pressure to achieve uniform airflow. The filter must be installed for the chassis to operate normally. If the air filter is not
locked into place the air filter presence sensors cause an alarm.
FortiGate-5144C 6.2.3 Chassis Guide 19

FortiGate-5144C Chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
The air filter should be inspected regularly. If dirty or damaged, the filter should be disposed of and replaced. The air
filter can be fragile and should be handled carefully.
To service the air filter you must loosen two the air filter frame retention screws at the bottom of the front of the chassis.
Tilt down the air filter frame and remove the air filter material.
Care should be taken when inserting an new air filter to prevent damage to the sensors. To insert a new filter, slide it
into the frame using the guides at each side of frame until the filter contacts springs at the back of the chassis. Then tilt
the frame up and tighten the retention screws.
Cooling fans, cooling air flow, and minimum clearance
The FortiGate-5144C chassis contains four hot-swappable cooling fans (fan 1 to fan 4) installed in the fan cabinet at the
top of the chassis. Two fans are access able from the front of the chassis and two from the back.

To service the front fan trays (fan trays 1 and 2), open the front fan cabinet. The back fan trays (fan trays 3 and 4), are
accessible from the back of the chassis. The fan trays are hot swappable. You do not need to press a hot swap switch to
remove a fan. Just pull a fan out of the chassis and replace it. The shelf manager regulates the fan speed by adjusting
the DC voltage supplied to the fan trays.
