Troubleshooting
This section describes the following troubleshooting topics:
• FortiSwitch-5003A does not startup
FortiSwitch-5003A does not startup
Positioning of FortiSwitch-5003A handles and a few other causes may prevent a
FortiSwitch-5003A board for starting up correctly.
All chassis: handles not fully closed
If the handles are damaged or positioned incorrectly the FortiSwitch-5003A board
will not start up. Make sure the handles are correctly aligned, fully inserted and
locked.
All chassis: Firmware problem
If the FortiSwitch-5003A board is receiving power and the handles are fully closed,
and you have restarted the chassis and the FortiSwitch-5003A still does not start
up, the problem could be with FortiOS. Connect to the FortiSwitch-5003A console
and try cycling the power to the board. If the BIOS starts up, interrupt the BIOS
startup and install a new firmware image. For details about installing a new
firmware image in this way, see the
FortiGate-5000 Series Firmware and FortiUSB
Guide .
If this does not solve the problem, contact Fortinet Technical Support.
