Caution
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.
Different expansion modules are interchangeable.

1.3.4 Cooling
1. Overview
The RG-S6510-4C adopts the front-to-rear airflow. Air flows in through the ports and out through the power
module, as shown in Figure 1-5.
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.
Dust the equipment every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.
