FortiGate-7030E System Guide 5

FortiGate-7030E chassis
The FortiGate-7030E is a 6U 19-inch rackmount 3-slot chassis with a 80Gbps fabric and 1Gbps base backplane
designed by Fortinet. The fabric backplane provides network data communication and the base backplane provides
management and synch communication among the chassis slots. Power is provided to the chassis using three hot
swappable 2+1 redundant 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply units (PSUs). You can also optionally add a fourth PSU.
The FortiGate-7030E can also be equipped with DC PSUs allowing you to connect the chassis to -48V DC power.
FortiGate-7030E front panel
The FortiGate-7030E chassis is managed by a single System Management Module (SMM) that includes an Ethernet
connection as well as two switchable console ports that provide console connections to the modules in the chassis slots.
The SMM controls chassis cooling and power management and provides an interface for managing the modules
installed in the chassis. The standard configuration of the FortiGate-7030E includes one FIM (interface) module in
chassis slot 1 and two FPM (processing) modules in chassis slots 3 and 4. The front panel also includes a sealed blank
panel. Breaking the seal or removing the panel voids your warranty. Two versions of the FortiGate-7030E are available:
lFortiGate-7030E QSFP28 and includes one FIM-7920E and two FPM-7620Es
lFortiGate-7030E SFP10G and includes one FIM-7901E and two FPM-7620Es

FortiGate-7030E chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Do not operate the FortiGate-7030E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For
optimum cooling performance and safety, each chassis slot must contain an FIM or FPM or
an FIM or FPM blank panel (also called a dummy card). For the same reason, all cooling fan
trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be installed while the chassis is
operating.
FIM modules
FIM modules are hot swappable interface modules that provide data and management interfaces, base backplane
switching and fabric backplane session-aware load balancing for the chassis. The FIM modules include an integrated
switch fabric and DP2 processors to load balance millions of data sessions over the chassis fabric backplane to FPM
processor modules. The following FIM modules are available for the FortiGate-7030E:
lThe FIM-7901E includes thirty-two front panel 10GigE SFP+ fabric channel interfaces (A1 to A32). These interfaces
are connected to 10Gbps networks. These interfaces can also be configured to operate as Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces using SFP transceivers.
lThe FIM-7920E includes four front panel 100GigE QSFP28 fabric channel interfaces (C1 to C4). These interfaces
can be connected to 100Gbps networks. Using a 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 or 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver,
each QSFP28 interface can also be split into four 10GBASE-SR interfaces and connected to 10Gbps networks.
FPM-7620E
The FPM-7620E is a hot swappable processor module that provides FortiOS firewalling and security services. FPMs in
the chassis function as workers, processing sessions load balanced to them by the FIMs. FPMs include multiple NP6
network processors and CP9 content processors to accelerate traffic.
FortiGate-7030E back panel
The FortiGate-7030E chassis back panel provides access to three hot swappable cooling fan trays and three hot
swappable AC or DC PSUs. A fourth slot is available for including a fourth power supply for additional redundancy. At
least two PSUs (PWR1 and PWR2) must be connected to power. PWR4 is a backup power supply. You can add a fourth
power supply to PWR3 to provide a second backup power supply. The back panel includes the FortiGate-7030E chassis
ground connector that must be connected to ground.

The SMM (MGMT), with Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) address 0x20) communicates with all modules in
the chassis over the base backplane. Each module, including the SMM includes a Shelf Management Controller (SMC).
These SMCs support IPMB communication between the SMM and the FIM and FPMs for storing and sharing sensor
data that the SMM uses to control chassis cooling and power distribution. The base backplane also supports serial
communications to allow console access from the SMM to all modules, and 1Gbps Ethernet communication for
management and heartbeat communication betweenmodules.
FIM1 (IPMB address 0x82) is the FIM in slot 1. The interfaces of this module connect the chassis to data networks and
can be used for Ethernet management access to chassis components. The FIM includes DP2 processors that distribute
sessions over the Integrated Switch Fabric (ISF) to the NP6 processors in the FPMs. Data sessions are communicated
to the FPMs over the 80Gbps chassis fabric backplane.
FPM3 and FPM4 (IPMB addresses 0x86 and 0x88) are the FPM processor modules in slots 3 and 4. These worker
modules process sessions distributed to them by the FIM. FPMs include NP6 processors to offload sessions from the
FPM CPU and CP9 processors that accelerate content processing.

Cooling fans, cooling air flow, and minimum clearance
The FortiGate-7030E chassis contains three hot swappable cooling fan trays installed in the back of the chassis. Each
fan tray includes two fans that operate together. The fan tray includes two LEDs, one for each fan. When these LEDs
are green both fans are operating normally. If one of the LEDs turns red or goes off, that fan is not working and the fan
tray should be replaced.
Fan trays are hot swappable. You can replace a failed fan tray while the chassis is operating. To replace a fan tray,
unscrew the four retention screws and use the handles to pull the fan tray out of the chassis. Then apply the fan outlet
cover to the outlet grill of the new fan tray. Install the new fan tray by sliding it into place. As you slide the new fan into
place it will power up and the fan outlet cover will fall off of the fan tray. Tighten the retention screws.
The other fan trays will continue to operate and cool the chassis as a fan tray is being removed and replaced. However
an open fan tray slot will result in less air flow through the chassis so do not delay installing the replacement fan tray.
The FortiGate-7030E System Management Module (SMM) monitors the internal temperature of the chassis and adjusts
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 SMM is up and running, it reduces cooling fan speeds to maintain an optimum temperature in the
chassis. If the SMM is not installed or is not operating correctly, the FortiGate-7030E chassis cooling fans always
operate at full speed.
During normal operation, all fan trays are active. If cooling requirements increase, the fan speed will increase.

Cooling air flow and required minimum air flow clearance
When installing the chassis, make sure there is enough clearance for effective cooling air flow.The following diagram
shows the cooling air flow through the chassis and the locations of fan trays. Make sure the cooling air intake and warm
air exhaust openings are not blocked by cables or rack construction because this could result in cooling performance
reduction and possible overheating and component damage.
Most cool air enters the chassis through the chassis front panel and all warm air exhausts out the back. For optimal
cooling allow 100 mm of clearance at the front and back of the chassis and 50 mm of clearance at the sides. Under
these conditions 80% of cooling air comes from the front panel air intake and 20% from the left and right side panels
and 100% exits out the back. Side clearance is optional and chassis cooling will be sufficient if no side clearance is
available.

Optional air filters
You can purchase an optional NEBScompliant air filter kit that includes a front filter that fits over the front of the chassis
and two filters for the side cool air intakes. These filters are not required for normal operation but can be added if you
require air filtration.
The air filters should be inspected regularly. If dirty or damaged, the filters should be disposed of and replaced. The air
filters can be fragile and should be handled carefully.
AC PSUs and supplying AC power to the chassis
The FortiGate-7030E chassis back panel includes three hot swappable AC or DC power supply units (PSUs). At least
two PSUs (PWR1 and PWR2) must be connected to power. PWR4 is a backup power supply and provides 2+1
redundancy. You can add a fourth power supply to PWR3 to provide a second backup power supply and 2+2
redundancy. See FortiGate-7030E back panel on page 8 for locations of the PSUs.
All PSUs should be connected to AC power. To improve redundancy you can connect each power supply to a separate
power source.
Use a C15 Power cable, supplied with the chassis, to connect power to each PSU C16 power connector. C15/C16 power
connectors are used for high temperature environments and are rated up to 120°C.

make sure the PSU is connected to power. If the power connection is good then the PSU has failed and should be
replaced.
Hot Swapping an AC PSU
Follow these steps to safely hot swap an AC PSU.
You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the FortiGate-7030E as long as two PSUs
are connected to power and operating normally. If you need to hot swap one of two operating
PSUs, you must power down the chassis first.
1. Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
2. Turn off the power being supplied to the power supply and disconnect the power cord.
3. Press the latch towards the handle until the PSU is detached then pull it out of the chassis.
4. Insert a replacement PSU into the chassis and slide it in until it locks into place.
5. Connect the PSUpower terminals as described above.
6. Turn on power to the PSU.
7. Verify that the PSU status LED is solid green meaning that the PSU is powered up and operating normally.
DC PSUs and supplying DC power to the chassis
The DC version of the FortiGate-7030E chassis front panel comes with three hot swappable 48-72V to 12V 125A DC
PSUs. Each PSU has a Internal 60A/170VDC fast blow fuse on the DC line input.
At least two PSUs (power supplies 1 and 2) must be connected to power. The third power supply is a backup power
supply and provides 2+1 redundancy. A fourth power supply can be added to provide 3+1 redundancy. See FortiGate-
7030E back panel on page 8 for locations of the PSUs. The diagram shows AC PSUs, with a DC version of the chassis
the AC PSUs are replaced with DC PSUs.
FortiGate-7030E 6.2.3 System Guide 14

FortiGate-7030E chassis Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Each PSU is designed to be installed in a Telecom data center or similar location that has available -48VDC power fed
from a listed 40A circuit breaker. To improve redundancy you can connect each power supply to a separate power
circuit.
DC power cables are intended to be used only for in-rack wiring, must be routed away from sharp edges, and must be
adequately fixed to prevent excessive strain on the wires and terminals. Make sure DC terminal rings are securely and
safely fastened to the PSU terminals.

Turning on FortiGate-7030E chassis power
Connect AC power to PWR1, PWR2 and PWR4. Once the FortiGate-7030E chassis is connected to power the chassis
powers up. If the chassis is operating correctly, the LEDs on the PSUs and fans should be lit. As well, the LEDs on the
FortiGate-7030E SMM should be lit.
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating.
In addition, if any modules have been installed in the chassis they should power on and their front panel LEDs should
indicate that they are starting up and operating normally.

FortiGate-7030E hardware assembly and rack mounting
The FortiGate-7030E chassis must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack and requires 6Uof vertical space in the rack.
This chapter describes how to attach accessories to the FortiGate-7030E chassis, how to install the chassis in a 4-post
or 2-post rack, and how to install FIM and FPM modules in the chassis front panel slots.
If you install the FortiGate-7030E chassis in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature
does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
The FortiGate-7030E chassis should not be operated as a free-standing appliance.
Install accessories before mounting the chassis in a rack. Install the modules after the chassis
is rack mounted.
Installing optional accessories
The following accessories are optional and not required for all configurations:
lFront mounting brackets
lLeft and right cable management brackets
lFront cable management bracket
lPower cord clamps
Front mounting brackets
You need to install the front mounting brackets to mount the FortiGate-7030E in a four-post rack (see Mounting the
FortiGate-7030E chassis in a four-post rack on page 21). You also need to install the front mounting brackets to be able
to attach the left and right cable management brackets.
The front mounting brackets are not required to mount the FortiGate-7030E in a two-post rack (see Mounting the
FortiGate-7030E chassis in a two-post rack on page 21).
Left and right cable management brackets
You can optionally install the left and right cable management brackets to help manage the network cables connected
to FIM modules installed in the FortiGate-7030E. Install the left and right cable management brackets by attaching
them to the left and right front mounting brackets.

Front cable management bracket (FortiGate-7030E-QSFP28 only)
The FIM-7920E module included with a FortiGate-7030E-QSFP28 ships with an optional front cable management
bracket that helps support the relatively large QSFP28 transceivers used with this module.
If you decide to use the front cable management bracket, install it by attaching it to the left and right cable management
brackets.
Power cord clamps
You can also install power cord clamps into the back of the chassis beside each PSU. Install the clamps by inserting
them into the holes adjacent each supply at the back of the chassis. Use the clamps to secure the AC power cords so
they are not accidentally disconnected.
