System Chassis (FortiGate-5000 series)
SMC (shelf manager card)
System Chassis (FortiGate-5000
series)
For FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in a FortiGate-5050 or
FortiGate-5140 chassis, you can go to System > Chassis to view real-time
operating status information about the hardware components installed in the
chassis.
From the system chassis pages you can view information about all of the
hardware components in the chassis. You can use the get chassis status
command to display similar chassis information from the FortiGate CLI.
Information displayed by the system chassis pages and by the get chassis
status command depends on the FortiGate-5000 series chassis and the
FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in the chassis and not on the
FortiGate-5000 module that you are connecting to.
The system chassis pages display information received from the chassis shelf
manager. The system chassis pages only display information if at least one shelf
manager is functioning in the chassis and only if the FortiGate-5000 module that
you have connected to can communicate with a shelf manager.
This section describes:
• SMC (shelf manager card)
• Blades (FortiGate-5000 chassis slots)
• Chassis monitoring event log messages
SMC (shelf manager card)
Go to System > Chassis > SMC to view the status of the shelf manager cards
(SMCs) installed in the FortiGate-5000 series chassis. The SMC list is the same
for the FortiGate-5140 chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis. The SMC list
shows basic status information about the shelf manager cards in the chassis.
