1 Overview
1.1 About the RG-S6510-48VS8CQ
The RG-S6510-48VS8CQ switch is a next-generation 25GE switch featuring high-performance, high-density,
and low-latency launched by Ruijie Networks for data centers and high-end campuses. The RG-S6510-
48VS8CQ switch provides high-density 25GE access, 100GE uplink ports, and diverse data center features. It
can be used with Ruijie’s RG-N18000-X and RG-S6920-4C switches for a high-performance and high-reliability
data center network.

Different power modules are interchangeable. That is, the switch allows concurrent AC and DC input. For
example, input 1 uses mains electricity (AC power) and input 2 use Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
DC power.
1.3 Chassis
The RG-S6510-48VS8CQ hardware system consists of a chassis, a power supply system, and a cooling system.
Power supply system: provides two power module slots and supports 1+1 power redundancy.
Cooling system: provides four fan module slots and supports 3+1 fan redundancy.

1.3.4 Cooling
1. Overview
There are two airflow directions available: front-to-rear and rear-to-front.
Front-to-rear: Air flows in through the ports and out through the power module, as shown in Figure 1-5.
Rear-to-front: Air flows in through the power module and out through the ports, as shown in Figure 1-6.
Caution
Maintain a minimum clearance of 200 mm (7.87 in.) around the equipment for air circulation.
At least three fan modules are required. If any slot is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper
airflow and to keep dust out of the chassis.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Overview

All fan and power modules must have the same airflow direction or else an error can occur. See Table 1-
2for accompanying fan and power modules.
Dust the equipment every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.

Caution
To improve system stability and availability, you are advised to configure 1+1 power redundancy. The
chassis configured with power redundancy works in current-sharing mode.
At least one power module is required. If any slot is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper
airflow and to keep dust out of the chassis.
Unplug the power cord before installing or removing the power module.
