Base channel interfaces
Table 3 lists and describes the FortiSwitch-5003A base backplane channel
interfaces. The base backplane interfaces are not configurable or visible from the
FortiSwitch-5003A CLI.

Indicates this interface is connected to a 10-gigabit
network device with the correct cable and the
attached network device has power.
Blinking
Green
Indicates 10-gigabit network traffic on this interface.
Off No link.
HS (Hot Swap) Blue The FortiSwitch-5003A is ready to be hot-swapped
(removed from the chassis). If the HS light is blue
and no other LEDs are lit the FortiSwitch-5003A
board has lost power
Flashing
Blue
The FortiSwitch-5003A is changing from hot swap to
running mode or from running mode to hot swap.
This happens when the FortiSwitch-5003A board is
starting up or shutting down.
Off Normal operation. The FortiSwitch-5003A board is in

SH1 If the FortiSwitch-5003A board is in the first hub/switch fabric slot, this
LED indicates a backplane connection to shelf manager 1. If the
FortiSwitch-5003A board is in second hub/switch fabric slot this LED
indicates a backplane connection to shelf manager 2.
This LED may not be lit even if a shelf manager is present if the shelf
manager is configured to use its front panel interface.
15 and SH2 Not used.
2/1 Base channel connection between base channels 1 and 2.
The 2/1 LED is lit if there is any board capable of connecting to the base
channel in the other slot. For example, if the FortiSwitch-5003A board is
installed in the first hub/switch fabric slot, this LED will be lit if any board
is installed in the second hub/switch fabric slot, including a
FortiSwitch-5003A board or any FortiGate-5000 board.
3 to 14 Base channel connection to FortiGate-5000 boards in chassis slots 3 to
14.
