FortiGate-5050 chassis
You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series modules in the five slots of the
FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount
ATCA chassis that contains two redundant DC power connections that connect to
-48 VDC Data Center DC power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot
swappable cooling fan tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5005FA2,
FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2 modules, the FortiGate-5050 chassis
provides a total of 40 Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003 module in the FortiGate-5050 chassis to
provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can
be used for HA heartbeat communications and for data communications. You can
add a second FortiSwitch-5003 module for redundancy. The First
FortiSwitch-5003 module should be installed in slot 2, the second in slot 1. If
FortiSwitch-5003 modules are included you can install up to three FortiGate-5000
series modules in slots 3, 4, and 5.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series modules in the
FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2
modules, two FortiGate-5001SX modules, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 module.
You can also install FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 modules in a
FortiGate-5050 chassis to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the modules installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis can be operating in a
FortiGate HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units.
You can also operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a
single FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can also use the FortiSwitch-5003 module to
operate HA clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in
multiple FortiGate-5050 chassis.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes 5 backplane slots which are used by
some FortiGate-5000 series modules.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power
is not available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased
separately) with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.

Table 3 lists and describes the FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel connectors.
Shelf alarm panel telco alarms
The shelf alarm panel 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.

FortiGate-5050 shelf manager
The FortiGate-5050 chassis includes two identical redundant hot-swappable shelf
managers, located in the dedicated shelf manager slots on the bottom of the
FortiGate-5050 front panel. The primary shelf manager is installed on the right
(SMC 1) the secondary shelf manager is installed on the left (SMC 2). The
FortiGate-5140 and 5050 chassis include the same shelf managers.
The shelf managers 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 standby. Usually the primary shelf manager would be the
active shelf manager and the secondary shelf manager would be the standby
shelf manager. The shelf managers monitor each other and either can trigger a
switchover if necessary. The active shelf manager performs all shelf manager
functions. If the active shelf manager fails or is removed, the standby shelf
manager takes over all shelf manager functions.

01-30000-0395-20070201 11
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers control chassis power up and power down,
chassis power distribution, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and
control chassis cooling,and can signal alarms if the chassisencounters problems.
All FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the chassis communicate with the shelf
managers.
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers are factory installed. In most cases users do
not have to install or configure the shelf managers.
Each shelf manager has two ethernet interfaces (ETH 0 and ETH 1). You can
connect to ETH 0 from the shelf manager front panel. ETH 1 connects to the
FortiGate-5050 backplane.
The shelf managers detect alarm conditions and communicate alarm signals to
the FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel. The shelf alarm panel also contains serial
interfaces for connecting to the shelf managers.
The shelf managers are hot swappable. You can remove a shelf manager by
opening the extraction lever until the hot swap LED starts blinking. When the hot
swap LED turns solid blue you can remove the shelf manager from the
FortiGate-5050 chassis.

FortiGate-5050 shelf manager FortiGate-5050 chassis
Shelf Manager fan and power control
The FortiGate-5050 shelf managers monitor the internal temperature of the
FortiGate-5050 chassis and adjust the operating speed of the FortiGate-5050
chassis cooling fan as required. If the temperature in the chassis becomes too
high, the shelf managers can also power down FortiGate-5000 modules installed
in the chassis to help reduce the temperature.
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-5050 chassis cooling fans always
operate at full speed.

This chapter describes how to connect data center DC power to a FortiGate-5050
chassis. If data center DC power is not available, this document also describes
how to use the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray to supply DC power to the
FortiGate-5050 chassis.
This chapter describes:
•About data center DC power
•Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power and data
center ground
•Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to AC power using the FortiGate-5053
power converter tray
•Turning on FortiGate-5050 chassis power
About data center DC power
The FortiGate-5050 chassis is designed to be installed in a data center or similar
location that has available -48VDC power (also called battery power). Fortinet
expects that most FortiGate-5050 customers will be installing their FortiGate
equipment in a data center or similar location that is already equipped with a
-48VDC power system that provides power to existing networking or telecom
equipment. The FortiGate-5050 chassis are designed to be connected directly to
this DC power system.
In this document, data center DC power refers to a -48VDC power system that is
already available at the location at which the FortiGate-5050 chassis is being
installed.
Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power
and data center ground
Connect the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center DC power using the redundant
power input connectors on the FortiGate-5050 back panel. Fortinet supplies and
recommends AWG-14 stranded wires for all power connections: Black for -48VDC
and red for RTN. Green AWG-6 wires are recommended for ground connections.
If required, install terminal lugs on the wires before connecting them to the power
input connectors.

Selecting the power supplies and power converter trays that you need for
your FortiGate-5050 configuration
This section provides some basic information for determining how many
FortiGate-5053 power converter trays and FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies
that you need, depending on the power requirements of your FortiGate-5050
chassis. This section provides guidelines only. Actual requirements may vary
depending on your installation requirements. Contact Fortinet Technical Support if
you need more information.
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray contains space for up to three
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies. A FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply
converts AC power to -48 VDC power. Each FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply
provides 800W of power.
The FortiGate-5053 power converter tray uses 2 + 1 power supply redundancy.
If three FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in a FortiGate-5053
power converter tray, the first two power supplies provide a total of 1600W
(2 x 800W) of power. The third power supply is the redundant backup.
The maximum power output for a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray with
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies is 1600W; which can be achieved with two
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies. If you need 1600W of power and power
supply redundancy, you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
Individual power requirements vary. If 800W is enough power and redundancy is
not required, you need one FortiGate-5053 power converter tray and one
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
If 800W is sufficient but a redundant power supply is required, you can add a
second FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply. This second power supply will also
cover power requirements between 800 and 1600W. If you require redundant
power greater than 800W you can add a third FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply.
Basic power requirements
To supply enough power for a FortiGate-5050 chassis with a total of five FortiGate
modules and FortiSwitch modules you require one FortiGate-5053 power
converter tray and two FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies (see Figure 10). The
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are installed in FortiGate-5053 slots 1 and 2.
This configuration supplies 1600W of power to the FortiGate-5020/5050 chassis.
Note: If your will not be filling all of the FortiGate-5050 slots you may not need both
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.

Figure 10: Non-redundant power for all FortiGate-5050 chassis slots
Redundant FortiGate-5050 power supplies
You can supply redundant power to a FortiGate-5050 chassis by adding a third
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply to the FortiGate-5053 power converter tray
(see Figure 11). If one of the FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies in the
FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails, the third power supply takes its place
without a power interruption.
Figure 11: 2 + 1 redundant FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies
Redundant FortiGate-5053 power converter trays
A single FortiGate-5053 power converter tray is usually only connected to one
FortiGate-5050 power input connector. If this power input connector or
FortiGate-5053 power converter tray fails or is disconnected the FortiGate-5050
chassis will loose power.
You can supply redundant power to the entire FortiGate-5050 chassis by adding a
second FortiGate-5053 power converter containing two or three
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies and connected this FortiGate-5053 power
converter tray to the second FortiGate-5050 power input connector.
