2-12 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
Hardware Overview Introduction
Boot Flash
The Control Module has a boot flash containing the RS’s boot software and configuration files. The system software
image file typically resides on a 32 megabyte PC card, but can also be located on a TFTP server or BootP/TFTP server.
Memory Module
The Control Module uses memory to hold the routing tables and other tables. The Control Module 2 contains 128MB
of memory (in a 128MB DIMM).
The Control Module 3 contains 256MB of memory (in two 128MB DIMMs). You can obtain an RS memory upgrade
kit from Riverstone Networks, Inc. to increase memory in the Control Module 3 to 256MB.
The Control Module 5 contains 512MB of memory (in two 256MB DIMMs). You can obtain an RS memory upgrade
kit from Riverstone Networks, Inc. to increase memory in the Control module 5 to 768 MB.
External Controls and Connections
The Control Module has the following external controls.
•
Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the RS’s CPU.
•
LEDs that indicate the current status of the RS 8000/8600. Table 2-3 describes the meaning of the
Control Module LEDs
•
PC flash card slots. These slots are used to connect the PC card to the Control Module. The
RS 8000/8600’s operating software image resides on the PC cards, and is loaded by the system at
power-up. More than one software image can reside on the PC cards, this allows for upgrades and
the changing of software versions run by the RS 8000/8600.
