Hardware installation
Before use, the FortiSwitch-5003A module must be correctly inserted into the first
or second hub/switch fabric slot of an Advanced Telecommunications Computing
Architecture (ACTA) chassis such as the FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050.
Before inserting the board into a chassis you should make sure the configuration
switch is set correctly.

Setting the FortiSwitch-5003A configuration switch
The SW3 switch on the FortiSwitch-5003A board is factory set by Fortinet with the
front panel 14/F8 interface enabled and the fabric backplane slot 14 disabled. This
means you can connect the FortiSwitch-5003A front panel 14/F8 interface to a
network but you cannot connect a FortiGate-5000 board in slot 14 to the fabric
backplane.
The SW3 switch on the FortiSwitch-5003A board can be used to switch between
enabling 14/F8 front panel interface and enabling the fabric backplane slot 14
interface.
