RouterBOARD 1100Hx2 and 1100AHx2
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
The RB1100 is a rackmount router with 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two of the ports provide bypass functionality.
There are two models, a dual core 1066MHz PPC processor and 1GB of RAM (RB1100Hx2), or with a dual core
1066MHz PPC processor with hardware encryption and 2GB of RAM (RB1100AHx2).
First use
The RB1100 device comes preinstalled with RouterOS and is ready to use. RB1100 is compatible with RouterOS v5
and newer, if your device comes preinstalled with an earlier version, please upgrade before using it:

•
Optionally, you may open the case and install a microSD card into the provided slot, for additional storage
•
Connect ethernet cables
•
Plug in the IEC C13 power cable into the back of the device to power it on.
Powering
The board accepts powering from the power connector on the back of the case, or 24V PoE on Ethernet port 13.
The device supports 110-‐220V at the built in PSU, and 12-‐24V when powering directly to the board and not using
the provided case/PSU.
Booting process
First, RouterBOOT loader is started. It displays some useful information on the onboard RS232C asynchronous serial
port. The serial port is set by default to 115200bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
The
RouterOS
system will then load. It will be also indicated by two beeps.
Note
that the device does not fully implement the hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control, so it is suggested to try to
disable hardware flow control in the terminal emulation program in case the serial console does not work as
expected, and if it does not help, make a new cable using the pin out given in the User's manual.
The loader may be configured to boot the system from the onboard NAND, and/or from network. See the
respective section of User's manual on how to configure booting sequence and other BIOS parameters. DHCP or
BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allow the RouterBOARD to get an initial IP address, and provide the
address of a TFTP server to download an ELF boot image from. It is especially useful for software installation.
