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.

Flashing Management communication activity on the fabric

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.
