Flashing
green
The ACC LED flashes green when the FortiGate-5001A
board accesses the FortiOS flash disk. The FortiOS flash
disk stores the current FortiOS firmware build and
configuration files. The system accesses the flash disk when
starting up, during a firmware upgrade, or when an
administrator is using the CLI or GUI to change the FortiOS
configuration. Under normal operating conditions this LED
flashes occasionally, but is mostly off.
OOS
(Out of
Service)
Off Normal operation.
Green A fault condition exists and the FortiGate-5001A blade is out
of service (OOS). This LED may also flash very briefly during
normal startup.
Power
Green The FortiGate-5001A board is powered on.
Status
Off The FortiGate-5001A board is powered on.
Flashing
Green
The FortiGate-5001A is starting up. If this LED is flashing at
any time other than system startup, a fault condition may
exist.
IPM
Blue The FortiGate-5001A is ready to be hot-swapped (removed
from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no other LEDs
are lit the FortiGate-5001A board has lost power.
Flashing
Blue
The FortiGate-5001A is changing from hot swap to running
mode or from running mode to hot swap. This happens when
the FortiGate-5001A board is starting up or shutting down.
Off Normal operation. The FortiGate-5001A board is in contact
with the chassis backplane.
