Turning FortiGate-4000 chassis power on and off Getting started
Out of band management connections
You can manage the FortiBlade-4010 modules by connecting to the 10/100 out of
band management module. The 10/100 out of band management module provides
ethernet management connections for all of the FortiBlade-4010 modules installed in
the FortiGate-4000 chassis. See Figure 6 on page 31 or Figure 7 on page 32 for the
location of the 10/100 out of band management module.
Console management connections
You can connect to the CLI of each FortiBlade-4010 module by connecting the RJ-45
to DB-9 serial cable to the management module console port (see Figure 10 on
page 33). The management module provides console connections for all of the
FortiBlade-4010 modules installed in the FortiGate-4000 chassis.
Use the KVM switch module to switch serial connections to the CLI of each
FortiBlade-4010 module installed in the FortiGate-4000 chassis. To access the CLI,
connect the black header of the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to the management
module (see “Management module” on page 33) and to a management PC. You can
use the KVM switch module (see “KVM switch module” on page 30) to select the
FortiBlade-4010 module that you can connect to.
Turning FortiGate-4000 chassis power on and off
Use the following procedures when turning on and off power to the FortiGate-4000
chassis. Turn power on and power off in the order specified in the following
procedures to avoid damaging FortiGate-4000 chassis components.
• Turning on FortiGate-4000 chassis power
• Turning off FortiGate-4000 chassis power
The FortiGate-4000 chassis automatically recovers from a power outage. When the
power restores, the FortiGate-4000 chassis takes a few seconds to power on. A few
seconds after the chassis is on, the FortiBlade-4010 modules power on automatically.
Turning on FortiGate-4000 chassis power
Turning on the FortiGate-4000 chassis power consists of making power connections,
turning on power supplies, and then turning on individual components.
1 Make sure all FortiGate-4000 chassis power switches are turned off.
Check the following:
• Power switch on each power supply module
• Chassis power switch on the power connector module
• On/off switch on the management module
• On/off switch on the switched interface module (FortiGate-4000S)
Note: All FortiBlade-4010 modules are shipped with the same default IP address (172.16.1.2).
You need to change the IP address before trying to manage the modules.
