FortiGate-5000 chassis compatibility

The following table lists the currently available FortiGate-5000 series chassis and the FortiGate and FortiController boards that are compatible with each. A FortiGate or FortiController board is supported in a chassis if the chassis can supply enough power and cooling for the board. Also taken into account is the fabric backplane speed of the chassis.

Chassis Features Supports
FortiGate-5144C Available power per slot: 400W
Heat dissipation per slot: 1535 BTU/hr
Fabric Backplane speed: 40Gbps
Capacity: 14 slots
Height: 14U, 19-inch rack mount
All FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiController boards.
FortiGate-5140B Available power per slot: 300W
Heat dissipation per slot: 1023 BTU/hr
Fabric Backplane speed: 10Gbps
Capacity: 14 slots
Height: 14U, 19-inch rack mount
FortiGate-5001C, FortiGate-5101C, FortiGate-5001B, FortiController-5103B, FortiSwitch-5003B,
FortiSwitch-5203B

FortiGate-5001D and FortiController-5902D (but only with 10Gbps fabric backplane support)
FortiGate-5060 Available power per slot: 300W
Heat dissipation per slot: 1023 BTU/hr
Fabric Backplane speed: 10Gbps
Capacity: 6 slots
Height: 5U, 19-inch rack mount
FortiGate-5001C, FortiGate-5101C, FortiGate-5001B, FortiController-5103B, FortiSwitch-5003B,
FortiSwitch-5203B

FortiGate-5001D and FortiController-5902D (but only with 10Gbps fabric backplane support)*

* The FortiGate-5060 does not support the FortiGate-5001E because, even though the FortiGate-5060 can supply enough power for normal operation of the FortiGate-5001E, the FortiGate-5060 does not supply enough power to safely handle power surges or other power irregularities.
