2-10 Riverstone Networks RS 3000/3100/3200 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
Hardware Features Introduction

You can install line cards in any order in the expansion slots. For example, you could install a module in the first slot
and leave the other slot empty. The RS 3000, RS 3100 and RS 3200 provide non-blocking throughput regardless of the
software features you are using. Therefore, you do not need to load balance line cards by placing them in certain
relationships.

2.4.2 External Controls and Connections
The RS 3000, RS 3100 and RS 3200 have the following external controls and ports used for management:
• Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection to a terminal or PC
running terminal emulation software. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the
RS 3000/RS 3100/RS 3200 . The default baud rate is 9600.
• 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network connection to a
management station. The port is configured as Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to establish
a management connection to the RS 3000/RS 3100/RS 3200 over a local or bridged Ethernet
segment.
• Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the Switch Router’s motherboard. The Reset switch
is recessed in the chassis, so that a tool such as a small allen wrench is necessary to activate the
switch.
