The RG-N18014 switch is an A-class product and may cause radio disturbance to surroundings. In this case,
users are advised to take proper measures against the disturbance.
Product Appearance
The hardware system of the RG-N18014 switch is composed of the chassis, the power system, modules and the cooling
system.
The power system provides eight power supply slots and supports N+M power supply redundancy. Users are
recommended to configure redundancy for the power supplies.
The RG-N18014 switch provides two supervisor module slots, 12 service module slots and four switch fabric module
slots. The supervisor modules support 1+1 redundancy. Users are recommended to configure redundancy for the
supervisor modules. Users may choose different service modules as needed.
The cooling system is composed of the fan trays and air filters. Fan trays are at the back of the chassis. The air filters
of the service module and the supervisor module are on a side of the chassis. The air filter of the switch fabric
module is on the front of the chassis.

Power supply
The RG-N18014 switch adopts both AC and DC power supply input.
AC power supply input: The RG-PA1600I and the RG-PA600I power supply modules are supported. The two types
of power supply modules support power management. The supervisor module of the RG-N18014 switch can read
the power supply information and implement flexible and intelligent power management.
DC power supply input: The RG-PD1600I and the RG-PD600I power supply modules are supported. The two types
of power supply modules support power management. The supervisor module of the RG-N18014 switch can read
the power supply information and implement flexible and intelligent power management.
The RG-N18014 switch supports N+M power supply redundancy to improve the system stability and
reliability. We recommend users to configure N+M redundancy for power supply modules.
Heat Dissipation System

The operating environment temperature of the RG-N18014 switch ranges between 0 and 50°C. The thermal design must
satisfy the requirement on the device's reliability in the temperature range while ensuring the device's safety and
maintainability. According to the thermal design of the RG-N18014 switch, fans are used to draw air for forced convection
cooling in order to ensure that the device works properly in the specified environment.
