FortiGate-5050 chassis
You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series boards 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
boards, the FortiGate-5050 chassis provides a total of 40 FortiGate gigabit ethernet
interfaces. If all 5 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis
supports ten 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2
modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports another ten
10-Gigabit interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board 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-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A
boards can also provide fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5050 fabric
backplane channels.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the
FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2 boards,
two FortiGate-5001SX boards, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 board. You can also install
FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5050 chassis to create
a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the boards 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 FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards to operate HA
clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A boards for fabric data communication
between chassis.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes 14 rear transition module (RTM) slots. The
FortiGate-5050 chassis supports 10-gigabit fabric channel communication if you have
installed FortiGate-5001A boards with FortiGate-RTM-XB2 modules and one or two
FortiSwitch-5003A boards.
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.

FortiGate-5050 back panel
Figure 2 shows the back of a FortiGate-5050 chassis. The FortiGate-5050 chassis back
panel includes two redundant -48V to - 58V DC power input connectors labelled Input A
and Input B. The power input connectors provide redundant DC power connections for the
FortiGate-5050 chassis and distribute DC power to the fan tray and the FortiGate-5000
series boards installed in the FortiGate-5050 chassis. Each power input connector
includes a 24 Amp circuit breaker that also functions as an on/off switch for the power
input connector.
If you require redundant power you should connect both power input connectors to DC
power. If redundant power is not required, you should connect power input connector A to
DC power. When operating, the power input connectors are covered with clear protection
plates.
Figure 2: FortiGate-5050 chassis back panel
The back panel includes the FortiGate-5050 chassis ground connector which must be
connected to Data Center ground. Use the power wire fixtures for securing and managing
DC power wires. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes an ESD socket on the back
panel.

Physical description of the FortiGate-5050 chassis
The FortiGate-5050 chassis is a 5U chassis that can be installed in a standard 19-inch
rack. Table 1 describes the physical characteristics of the FortiGate-5050 chassis.
FortiGate-5050 shelf managers
The FortiGate-5050 chassis includes one or two 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 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.
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 chassis encounters 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.

Figure 3: FortiGate-5050 shelf manager front panel
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.
FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel
The FortiGate-5050 shelf alarm panel (SAP), located at the bottom of the FortiGate-5050
front panel, provides LED indicators of FortiGate-5050 alarms, a telco alarm connector, an
alarm LED reset button, and console access to the FortiGate-5050 shelf managers. The
LED alarm indicators include critical, major, and minor alarms as well as three user
defined alarms.
The alarm LED reset button (RESET) on the shelf alarm panel activates the Alarm Cutoff
(ACO) state. When ACO is activated, the active alarm LEDs blink and all of the alarm
relays are deactivated.

Figure 5: Connections between the shelf managers and the shelf alarm panel
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.
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.

Shelf manager command line interface (CLI)
You can use the shelf manager 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.
Connecting to the shelf manager CLI using a serial port
You can connect to the shelf manager CLI by connecting the console cable supplied with
your chassis to a management PC console port and to the appropriate shelf alarm panel
serial port. To connect to the primary shelf manager use Serial 1. To connect to the
secondary shelf manager use Serial 2.

Power connection and configuration
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.
This section describes:
•Connecting a FortiGate-5050 power input connector to data center DC power
•Connecting the FortiGate-5050 chassis to data center ground
Connecting a FortiGate-5050 power input connector to data center DC power
The following procedure describes how to connect one FortiGate-5050 power input
connector to data center DC power. For normal operation, only power input connector A
must be connected. For redundant DC power you can connect power input connector B to
a different DC power source.

The back panel also includes three AC power connectors numbered 1, 2, 3. The AC
connector numbering corresponds to the slot numbering showing in Figure 10. Each
connector connects AC power directly to a FortiGate-5020/5050 power supply. The
FortiGate-5053 can contain 1, 2, or 3 FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies depending on
your requirements. You should only connect AC power to the power supplies that are
installed.
AC input power characteristics:
• AC input voltage: 110 to 250 VAC
• AC input current: 10A
• Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
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 12). 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 12: 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 13). 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 13: 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.
