Series 600: Modular Routers
The HP Router 650 is used as a high-speed central-site router. It is a compact
table or rack-mountable chassis with four slots for LAN and/or WAN inter-
face card modules. Most of the interface module products each have four
network ports, and can be installed in any combination. See the
HP Network
Connectivity Product Catalog for the specific interface modules and port
combinations available. The types of ports available on these modules are
described in following sections of this note.
HP’s Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface module product itself has slots that
accept either AUI, BNC, 10Base-FL (fiber-optic), or twisted-pair type of
recessed miniature transceivers. (See “Ethernet Ports” on the next page for
details.) A fifth slot in the chassis is occupied by the built-in routing engine
PCA; it includes a console port and router resetting controls. The chassis
also contains a module of variable-speed fans and one auto-ranging power
supply. A second power supply can be added for load sharing and redun-
dancy. All interfaces, the redundant power supply, and the fan module can
be replaced online without interrupting network connections and compo-
nents that are still operating (“hot swap”). An LED PCA provides multiple
status indicators for each port on each card, for overall chassis status, and
for the fan and redundant power supply. For more information, see the
Installation Guide
for the HP Router 650, and in this manual, see the
“Architecture and Technology” note.
Series 200 and 400: Fixed-Configuration Routers
Routers such as the HP Router FR and HP Router SR, and several others, are
smaller and self-contained, each with a fixed combination of two or more
ports for different applications as regional and branch routers in your net-
work topology. Some of these stackable and rackable routers use one

available on these routers are described in the following sections of this
note. See the
HP Network Connectivity Product Catalog for the specific
routers and port combinations available.
