Installing FortiBlade-4010 modules
Install a FortiBlade-4010 module by removing a FortiGate-4000 unit slot cover and
replacing it with a FortiBlade-4010 module. Begin installing the FortiBlade-4010
modules at slot number 1 and fill the FortiGate-4000 chassis from left to right (see
Figure 3 on page 28 for slot numbering).
1 Loosen the two screws both at the top and bottom of the FortiGate-4000 unit’s empty
slot cover that fastens the cover to the FortiGate-4000 chassis.
2 Remove the cover from the chassis.
3 Holding the FortiBlade-4010 module by the module lock and handle, insert the
FortiBlade-4010 module into the chassis. See Figure 15.

4 Slide the FortiBlade-4010 module into the slot until the lock clicks into place.
5 Tighten the mounting knots both at the top and bottom of the front panel of the
FortiBlade-4010 module.
Note: Do not operate the FortiGate-4000 unit with open slots on the front panel. For optimum
cooling performance, all front panel slots should either contain a FortiBlade-4010 module or be
covered by an empty slot cover.
