FortiGate-7060E front panel

The chassis is managed by two redundant System Management Modules (SMM). Each SMM includes an Ethernet connection as well as two switchable console ports that provide console connections to the modules in the chassis slots. The active SMM controls chassis cooling and power management and provides an interface for managing the modules installed in the chassis.

Do not operate the FortiGate-7060E chassis with open slots on the front or back panel. For optimum cooling performance and safety, chassis front panel slots 1 and 2 must contain FIMs. Front panel slots 3 to 12 must contain FPMs or FPM blank panels (also called dummy cards). In addition, all cooling fan trays, power supplies or power supply slot covers must be installed while the chassis is operating. The FPM blank panels shipped with the chassis should be kept available in case an FPM is removed from the chassis. If an FIM or FPM fails and you don't have a replacement FIM or FPM or an available blank panel, you should keep the failed FIM or FPM in the chassis slot until you receive a replacement.

Power is provided to the chassis using four hot swappable 3+1 redundant 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC or -48V DC power supply units (PSUs). At least three PSUs (1 to 3) must be connected to power. PSU 4 is a backup PSU. You can add a 5th or 6th PSU for 3+2 and 3+3 redundancy.

The standard configuration of the FortiGate-7060E includes two FIM (interface) modules in chassis slots 1 and 2 and up to four FPM (processing) modules in chassis slots 3 to 6.
