RouterBOARD 1000
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
Assembling the Hardware
First use of 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 one or t o CompactFlash modules or Microdrive hard drives, hich you
can use as an alternative boot device (Not for RouterOS. In J4 slot only) or additional storage media (in any or both
slots);
●Install the board in a case
●Connect other peripherals and cables.
Powering
The board accepts po ering from the po er jack only, 12V is supported.
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. Note that the
device does fully implement hard are (RTS/CTS) flo control. The loader
may be configured to boot the system from the onboard NAND, and/or
from net ork. See the respective section of User's manual on ho to
configure booting sequence and other BIOS parameters.
DHCP or BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allo the RouterBOARD
1000 series board to get an initial IP address, and provide the address of
a TFTP server to do nload an ELF boot image from. It is especially useful
for soft are installation. See the User's manual for more information and
protocol details. Note that you must connect the RouterBOARD you ant
to boot and the BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers to the same broadcast
domain (i.e., there must not be any routers bet een them – they must be on the same Ethernet s itch).
Extension Slots and Ports
●Four Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either
straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other net ork devices.
●DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port.
●SODIMM memory slot, populated ith 512MB DDR2 667MHz SODIMM memory, supports up to 2Gb RAM modules that
match these specifications. Due to a hard are limitation, only 1.5Gb ill be used from a 2Gb module.
