Front panel LEDs and connectors FortiGate-5001FA2 security system
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board comes supplied with four optical or four copper
SFP transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001FA2 interfaces 1 to 4,
you must insert the SFP transceivers into the FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel cage
slots numbered 1 to 4.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board ships with two RAM DIMMs installed on the
FortiGate-5001FA2 circuit board. You should confirm that the RAM DIMMs are
installed correctly before inserting the FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a chassis.
Front panel LEDs and connectors
From the FortiGate-5001FA2 font panel you can view the status of the front panel
LEDs to verify that the board is functioning normally. You also connect the
FortiGate-5001FA2 board to your network through the front panel ethernet
connectors. The front panel also includes the RS-232 console port for connecting
to the FortiOS CLI and a USB port. The USB port can be used with a Fortinet USB
key. For information about using the FortiUSB key, see the FortiGate-5000 Series
Firmware and FortiUSB Guide.

LED State Description
PWR Green The FortiGate-50012FA2 board is powered on.
ACC Off or
Flashing
red
The ACC LED flashes red when the FortiGate-5001FA2 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.
STA Green Normal operation.
Red The FortiGate-5001FA2 is booting or a fault condition exists.
IPM Blue The FortiGate-5001FA2 is ready to be hot-swapped (removed
from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no other LEDs
are lit the FortiGate-5001FA2 board has lost power, possibly
because of a loose or incorrectly aligned left handle. See
“Inserting a FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a chassis” on
page 13 for more information.
Flashing
Blue
The FortiGate-5001FA2 is changing from hot swap to running
mode or from running mode to hot swap.
Off Normal operation. The FortiGate-5001FA2 board is in contact
with the chassis backplane.
1, 2, 3, 4 Green The correct cable is connected to the gigabit SFP interface.
Flashing Network activity at the gigabit SFP interface.
