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.

For the supervisor and service modules, air flows across the chassis from the right intakes to the back vents.
For the power supply modules, air flows in from the front intakes and out from the back vents.
For the switch fabric module, air flows across the chassis from the front intakes to the back vents.
The chassis should be mounted in a place with sufficient space for air circulation. Sufficient space (10 cm at
least) must be reserved at the air intakes and exhaust vents for ventilation.
If any module slot is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper airflow.

Heat Dissipation Solution
The operating environment temperature of RG-N18010 switches ranges between 0 and 50°C. The heat dissipation design
must satisfy the requirement on the device's reliability in the temperature range while ensuring the device's safety and
maintainability. The supervisor and service modules use fans to draw air and the switch fabric module uses fans to blow
air for forced convection in order to ensure that the device works properly in the specified environment.

The chassis should be mounted in a place with sufficient space for air circulation. Sufficient space (10 cm at
least) must be reserved at the air intakes and exhaust vents for ventilation.
If any module slot is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper airflow.

Module
The RG-N18000 switch adopts the module-based design. Compliant with industry standards, the design divides modules
and integrates module interfaces to ensure the switch system's functioning and independence of various function
modules.
The modules of the RG-N18000 switch provide 10/100/1000M auto-sensing Ethernet copper ports, 1000 Mbps/100 Mbps
SFP (single-mode/multi-mode) optical fiber interfaces and 10G/40G optical fiber interfaces.
M18014-CM
M18014-CM is the supervisor module of the RG-N18014 series switches and is designed with management and switching
functions.
Module Appearance
Figure 0-11 Appearance of the M18014-CM Module
External Port
The M18014-CM module provides five external ports:
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port: By connecting to the USB port, the USB storage devices can store logs, host
version, alarms and other diagnosis information, facilitating online upgrade of switch software and storage of logs.
To secure data and prevent damage to the device, it is recommended to use high-quality flash disks
produced by reliable manufacturers. The USB port is compatible with most USB controllers but may be
unable to identify some USB disk models.
The USB flash disk must be installed to the USB port before you upgrade the software.
Secure digital (SD) memory card slot: By connecting to the SD card slot, SD memory cards can store logs, host
version, alarms and other diagnosis information, facilitating online upgrade of switch software and storage of logs.
To secure data and prevent damage to the device, it is recommended to use high-quality SD memory cards
produced by reliable manufacturers. The SD card slot is compatible with most SD memory cards but may be
unable to identify some SD memory cards.
Console port: As a serial communications port, it uses the RS-232 interface level and standard RJ-45 connector.
This port is used to connect the device to serial ports of background terminal computers to perform tasks including
system commissioning, configuration, maintenance, management, and host software loading.
10/100/1000M MGMT port: As the 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port, it uses the RJ-45 connector. This port can be
used to connect the device to the Ethernet port of the background computer to load programs. Use the standard
cable to connect the device to the Ethernet port of the background computer.
Data Center Manageability Interface (DCMI): DCMI implements the management for the data center devices. For
example, you can check the temperature, configure the serial port, reset the device, and power on/off device. These
operations cannot be achieved through the Console port or the MGMT port. Use the standard cable to connect the
device to the Ethernet port of the background computer.
Button
The M18014-CM module provides a Reset button, which is used to reset the system. If the button is held for less than five
seconds, it is a short press; if the button is held for five seconds or longer, it is a long press.

In case of a short press, the Status LED flashes in green, and the device resets within five seconds after the
press. In case of a long press, the Status LED flashes in green and then flashes in red; the device resets
within five seconds after the press.
Press the button, and the system starts to collect information, during which the device will not restart. After
the collection is complete, the device restarts automatically. Hold the button for a while and release it, the
device restarts automatically in five seconds.
