Hi,

Do you guys know why fortigate 90e was removed from the line?

Some bug?

    Best answer by seadave

    This is part of the Atom CM2000 series clock defect.  It is/will impact MANY products from MANY manufacturers.  The rumor is that Intel is forcing vendors to sign NDAs and compensating them in some way to replace the defective hardware. More people need to be made aware as this is going to hit a lot of folks who don't pay attention in a bad way over the next few years.  I just deployed a 90E at my daughter's school so I'm not happy about the situation.

    Dunno, it surely was in a "strange" position and even stranger with the 80e

    One of our partners tells us that it's no longer available for sale and all 90E inquiries should be directed towards the 80E.

    Maybe this:

    Customer Support Bulletin CSB-170207-1 Clock Signal Degrades Over Time 2017-02-15 Subject: Clock Signal Degrades Over Time Released: 2017-02-15 Modified: 2017-02-15  Product: FortiGate 90E, FortiGate 91E, and FortiHypervisor 90E

    Description:

    FortiGate devices, whereby the clock signal may degrade over time.  This can lead to system boot failure or operating errors.  Devices which use these components have an increased possibility of needing replacement after about 3 years.

     

    Possibly Affected Products:

    In certain instances this component may affect the earliest deliveries of the following products with the specific part number AND rework (EX4893-xx) not yet applied:

    FortiGates 90E:              P19061-03 FortiGate 91E:                P19071-03 FortiHypervisor 90E:        P19078-03 *

    (* Correction of part number as hightlighted.  It was P19079-03 in the 2017-02-08 release.)

    A unit with the above mentioned part number with rework EX4893-xx label is NOT affected.

    To verify the part number and work label:

    (1)    Part number can be can be identified by issuing “get sys status” command:

    FGT90E4Q16000020 # get sys status Version: FortiGate-90E v5.4.1,build5461,160627 (GA) --- abbreviated--- System Part-Number: P19061-03

    (2)    A rework label with rework number (EX4893-xx), if applied, can be seen in the bottom of the unit alongside of the big Fortinet product sticker with model, serial number, and other pertinent information about the unit.
