Mounting

The device is designed for indoor use and can be mounted in a rackmount enclosure or placed on a desktop.

1. Attach the bracket to the front right side.
2. Attach the rear right bracket.
3. Attach the bracket to the left front side.
4. Attach the rear left bracket.
5. Attach long brackets to the rackmount and install the device with the holes so that the device fits conveniently.
6. If needed, install cable management brackets.

Please ensure the placement of the device in a dry and ventilated environment, as it has no protection from water contamination. We recommend using Cat6 cables for our devices. The mounting and configuration of this device should be done by a qualified person.

Powering

Connect two powering units to the AC source using power cords.

Reset Button

The RouterBOOT reset button has the following functions:

• Press the button and apply power, then release the button when the green LED starts flashing to reset the RouterOS configuration to defaults.
• Release the button when the LED turns solid green to clear all configuration and defaults.
• Release the button after the LED is no longer lit (~20 seconds) to cause the device to look for Netinstall servers (required for reinstalling RouterOS over the network).

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. This can be useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.
