Hardware Features
Introduction
2.4.3
Fans
The router contains two fans to provide a cooling air flow across the motherboard and modules. They are located
towards the rear of the chassis.
Warning
To ensure that the fans can provide adequate cooling, always provide a
minimum of 3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis.
External Controls and Connections
The RS 3000 has the following external controls and ports used for managing the RS 3000:
•
Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection to a terminal or PC
running terminal emulation software. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the
RS 3000. The default baud rate is 9600.
•
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network connection to a
management station. The port is configured as Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to establish
a management connection to the RS 3000 over a local or bridged Ethernet segment.
•
Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the RS 3000’s motherboard. The Reset switch is
recessed in the chassis, so that a tool such as a small allen wrench is necessary to activate the switch.
•
Status LEDs.
