Changing FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC jumper settings Hardware installation Normally, because the jumpers are factory set, you do not have to change them. However, if you are moving a FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC from a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 to a FortiGate-5020 or the reverse, you need to move the JP3 jumper. Also, if a new FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board does not function properly, you should check the JP3 jumper settings. Table 3: FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC JP3 jumper settings for each chassis Ch
