Hardware installation
Before use, the FortiGate-5001FA2 board must be correctly inserted into an
Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ACTA) chassis such as
the FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis.
Before inserting the board into a chassis you should make sure RAM DIMMS are
installed and FortiGate-5001FA2 jumpers are set. SFP transceivers must also be
installed for interfaces 1 to 4 before these interfaces can be connected to network
devices.
This section describes:
• RAM DIMMs
• Installing SFP transceivers
• Changing FortiGate-5001FA2 jumper settings
• Inserting a FortiGate-5001FA2 board into a chassis
• Removing a FortiGate-5001FA2 board from a chassis

RAM DIMMs
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.
To install FortiGate-5001FA2 RAM DIMMs
To complete this procedure, you need:
• A FortiGate-5001FA2 board
• Two RAM DIMMs to be installed into the FortiGate-5001FA2 board RAM DIMM
slots
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on a chassis or frame.
2 Remove RAM DIMMs from their antistatic packaging.
!
Caution: FortiGate-5001FA2 boards must be protected from static discharge and physical
shock. Only handle or work with FortiGate-5001FA2 boards at a static-free workstation.
Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when
handling FortiGate-5001FA2 boards.
!
Caution: Handle DIMMs by the edges only. DIMMs are ESD-sensitive components that
can be damaged by mishandling.
