Assembling the Hardware
First to use the board:
●
In most cases you do not need to use any additional boot devices, as
you can boot the RouterBOARD from the onboard NAND memory. You
can also install a CompactFlash module or Microdrive hard drive, which
you can use as an alternative boot device or an additional storage
medium.
Warning! The RouterBOARD 500 series does not
support hot insert of CompactFlash/Microdrive devices
.
●
MiniPCI socket. There is also one MiniPCI socket on the other side of
the board.
●
One of the RouterBOARD 500 Daughterboard options (ordered
separately) may be secured on top of the main board.
●
Configure jumpers. The board should have 4 jumpers already set in
some positions. Be very careful setting the jumpers as you can
permanently damage the board should you set them incorrectly. The
Jumper Index of the User's manual describes all possible jumper
positions. The most important ones are described further on.
●
Install the board in a case and connect other peripherals and cables.
●
Plug in power cable to turn on the board.
Powering
JP3 and JP4 choose input voltage (
1-2
for 25..56V DC,
2-3
for 11..24V DC). Note that the
RB532p1 build version does not accept 25..56V DC powering.
CAUTION! If JP3 and JP4
are switched to the 2-3 position, and a higher voltage (e.g. 48V) power adapter or
a standard PoE injector is used, the board will be irreparably broken and exchange
will not be covered by warranty.
Power source is chosen with jumpers JP5 and JP6:
