Slot #
The slot number in the chassis. The FortiGate 5050 chassis contains five slots numbered 1 to 5. The FortiGate 5060 chassis contains six slots numbered 1 to 6. The FortiGate 5140 and 5140B chassis contains fourteen slots numbered 1 to 14.
Extension Card
If there is an extension card installed in the blade, this column displays an arrow you can select to expand the display. The expanded display shows details about the extension card as well as the blade.
Slot Info
Indicates whether the slot contains a node card (for example, a FortiGate 5001SX blade) or a switch card (for example, a FortiSwitch 5003 blade) or is empty.
State
Indicates whether the card in the slot is installed or running, or if the slot is empty.
Temperature Sensors
Indicates if the temperature sensors for the blade in each slot are detecting a temperature within an acceptable range. OK indicates that all monitored temperatures are within acceptable ranges. Critical indicates that a monitored temperature is too high (usually about 75°C or higher) or too low (below 10°C).
Current Sensors
Indicates if the current sensors for the blade in each slot are detecting a current within an acceptable range. OK indicates that all monitored currents are within acceptable ranges. Critical indicates that a monitored current is too high or too low.
Voltage Sensors
Indicates if the voltage sensors for the blade in each slot are detecting a voltage within an acceptable range. OK indicates that all monitored voltages are within acceptable ranges. Critical indicates that a monitored voltage is too high or too low.
Power Allocated
Indicates the amount of power allocated to each blade in the slot.
Action
Select Activate to turn the state of a blade from Installed into Running. Select Deactivate to turn the state of a blade from Running into Installed.
