The control LEDs of a secondary FortiController-5208 board will be synchronized
to the control LEDs of the primary because all the installed boards use the same
fabric backplane network to communicate. Each FortiController-5208 board has
its own base backplane network with which to exchange data traffic with the
worker boards so the data LEDs of each FortiController-5208 board will indicate
only its own communication.
Connectors
Table 26
lists and describes the FortiController-5208 board connectors.
CONTROL
1-16
Green
The control LEDs display the fabric backplane
connections of the FortiController-5208 board,
an optional secondary FortiController-5208 board,
and all the 5005 boards, over which management
communication is sent. LED 1 is for the
FortiController-5208 board’s connection. LEDs 2
through 14 are for connections to the corresponding
slots in a 5050 or 5140. LEDs 15 and 16 are for
future use.

backplane connection.

Green
The correct cable is connected to the gigabit SFP
interface.
Flashing Network activity at the gigabit SFP interface.
IPM
Blue
The FortiController-5208 is ready to be hot-
swapped (removed from the chassis). If the IPM
light is blue and no other LEDs are lit the
FortiController-5208 board has lost power. See
“Inserting a FortiController-5208 module into a
chassis” on page 10
for more information.
Flashing
Blue
The FortiController-5208 is changing from hot swap
to running mode or from running mode to hot swap.
Off
Normal operation. The FortiController-5208 board is
in contact with the chassis backplane.
