FortiGate-5001A mounting components
To install a FortiGate-5001A board you slide the board into an open slot in the
front of an ATCA chassis and then use the mounting components to lock the
board into place in the slot. When locked into place and positioned correctly the
board front panel is flush with the chassis front panel. The board is also connected
to the chassis backplane.
To position the board correctly you must use the mounting components shown in
Figure 9 for the right (bottom) side of the front panel. The mounting components
on the left (top) side of the FortiGate-5001A-SW front panel are the same but
reversed. The mounting components on the left (top) side of the
FortiGate-5001A-DW are slightly different as shown in Figure 10. The
FortiGate-5001A mounting components align the board in the chassis slot and are
used to insert and eject the board from the slot.

Note: FortiGate-5001A boards are horizontal when inserted into a FortiGate-5050 chassis
and vertical when inserted into a FortiGate-5140 chassis. The inserting and removing
procedures are the same in either case. For clarity the descriptions in this document refer
to the left (top) and right (bottom) mounting components.

Note: The FortiGate-5001A-DW right (bottom) handle includes a hook that secures the
handle into place when the board is mounted in the chassis (Figure 9). The hook is not
included on the FortiGate-5001A-DW left (top) handle (Figure 10). Otherwise the left (top)
and right (bottom) mounting components are the same. Operating the left (top) and right
(bottom) handles is also basically the same except that without the hook you do not have to
squeeze the FortiGate-5001A-DW left (top) handle lock. Also the FortiGate-5001A-DW left
(top) handle does not lock into place in the same way as the right (bottom) handle. Both
FortiGate-5001A-SW handles include the hook. The hook was removed from the
FortiGate-5001A-DW left (top) handle because of the double-width AMC opening.
