Caution
Different power modules are interchangeable. That is, the switch allows concurrentAC
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 Chassis
The RG-S6510-4C 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 2+1 fan redundancy.
Expansion module: provides four expansion module slots and supports two models.

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.
