RS 2100 Introduction

2.4.4Fans

The RS 2100 contains three internal fans to provide cooling air flow across the motherboard and gigabit ports. The fans are located near the middle of the chassis, between the power supplies and the motherboard.

Warning To ensure that the fans can provide adequate cooling, Riverstone recommends that you allow a minimum of 3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis.

2.4.5Gigabit Ports

The RS 2100’s eight gigabit (1000Base-SX) Ethernet ports are indexed into four groups of two ports each. The ports can operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode. Each port can be configured as a switched port or a routed port. The ports have shortwave (850 nm) lasers and connect to multimode-mode fiber (MMF) cables.
