Note
The weight only includes that of the empty chassis and fans. The weight of the whole
device is subject to that of the modules selected.
In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
This device is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
Risk of electric shock. The fuse is on the midline of the grid power supply. Cut off
the grid power supply to disconnect each phase of the conductor.
Product Appearance
The hardware system of the RG-N18010-E switch is composed of the chassis, the power system,
modules and the cooling system.
The power system provides four power supply slots and supports N+N power supply
redundancy. Users are recommended to configure redundancy for the power supplies.
The RG-N18010-E switch provides two supervisor module slots, eight service module slots
and four switch fabric module slots. The supervisor modules support 1+1 redundancy. You
are advised to configure redundancy for the supervisor modules. You may choose different
service modules as needed.
The heat dissipation system is composed of fan trays, which are at the back of the chassis.

Caution
Ensure that the supervisor module, service module, switch fabric module and power supply
module are removed from the chassis before you move or transport the RG-N18010-E chassis.
Power supply
The RG-N18010-E switch adopts both AC power supplies and DC power supplies.
AC power supplies: The RG-PA1600I and RG-PA600I power supply modules are supported.
The power supply modules support power management. The supervisor module of the RG-
N18010-E switch can read the power supply information and implement flexible and
intelligent power management.
DC power supplies: The RG-PD1600I and RG-PD600I power supply modules are supported.

The power supply modules support power management. The supervisor module of the RG-
N18010-E switch can read the power supply information and implement flexible and
intelligent power management.
Note
The RG-N18010-E switch supports N+N power supply redundancy. To improve the system
stability and reliability, you are advised to configure N+N redundancy for power supply modules.
Heat Dissipation System
The operating environment temperature of the RG-N18010-E switch ranges from 0°C to 50°C
(32°F to 122°F). 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-N18010-E switch, fans are used to draw air for forced convection
cooling in order to ensure that the device works properly in the specified environment.

Vents)
Note
Exhaust vents for power supply modules
Exhaust vents for service, supervisor and switch fabric modules
For the power supply modules, air flows in from the front intakes and out from the back vents.
For the service modules, air flows in from the intakes on the right side and out from the back
vents.
For the supervisor and switch fabric modules, air flows in from the intakes on the bottom and
out from the back vents.
Note
The chassis should be mounted in a place with sufficient space for air circulation. Sufficient space
(10 cm or 3.94 in. 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 ensure proper airflow. Ensure that there
is at least one filler panel installed in two neighboring unoccupied slots.
