Fabric gigabit switching between chassis FortiGate-5140 fabric backplane communication
The chassis can be connected to the network using any of the FortiGate front
panel interfaces. You can also connect FortiSwitch-5003A front panel fabric
interfaces to the network. You can also install FortiGate AMC modules in the
FortiGate-5001A boards and connect networks to the AMC front panel interfaces.
The AMC modules and the network connections are not shown in Figure 11.

For the FortiGate-5001A and 50005FA2 boards to use fabric channel 1 for data
communication you must show backplane interfaces on the FortiGate web-based
manager and then configure firewall polices and routing for the fabric1 interfaces.
