The selection of SDRAM and Flash memory depends on the main control board. For their specifications, refer to “The RPU Module” and “The RPU2 Module”.

The standard shipment provides a single PSU for power supply, but you can order one more PSU for redundancy. See “The PSU Module”.

About the Router The router processing unit (RPU or RPU2) is the main controller for the Processor Unit Router 6000. The RPU or RPU2 handles protocols, forwards low-speed

packets, governs interfaces, and detects faults. You can see information about the operating state of the FAN module, PSU, and system using the LEDs on the RPU or RPU2. Alternatively, you can monitor system status using a network management system. The RPU or RPU2 also provides a hardware reset button.

Your Router 6000 may have one of two different Router Process Units: and RPU or and RPU2. For information on the RPU, refer to “The RPU Module”. For information on the RPU2, refer to “The RPU2 Module”.
