Inserting AMC slot filler panels
The following procedure describes how to install a slot filler panel in the
FortiGate-5001A front panel AMC opening. The FortiGate-5001A-DW board
includes one AMC double-width slot filler panel and the FortiGate-5001A-SW
board includes one AMC single-width slot filler panel.
To install an AMC slot filler panel
To complete this procedure, you need:
•
FortiGate-5001A board with an empty AMC slot
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord
1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an available ESD socket or wrist
strap terminal.

With the FortiGate-5001A left (top) handle fully open, pull the latch on the slot filler
front panel to the extended position.

Insert the slot filler panel by applying moderate force to the front faceplate to slide
the slot filler panel into the opening.
The slot filler panel should glide smoothly into the opening. If you encounter any
resistance while sliding the slot filler panel in, the slot filler panel could be aligned
incorrectly. Pull the slot filler panel back out and try inserting it again.
