Using the AMC modules
Hard disk module
The FortiGate ASM-S08 is a single-width 80 gigabyte hard disk that enables you
to store log files, content archives locally on your FortiGate unit.
Using the hard disk, you can enable the FortiGate unit to log to the disk, and
periodically upload rolled logs to a FortiAnalyzer unit for storage.
Note: The FortiGate-3810A supports only one FortiGate-ASM-S08 hard disk module.
Note: AMC modules are not hot swappable. Always ensure you properly shut down the
FortiGate unit before installing or removing a module.
