1. 450 series boards are compatible with non standard passive Power over Ethernet injectors except power over datalines and accept powering over up to 100m 330 ft long Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet port 38 The board does not work with IEEE802 3af compliant 48V power injectors The maximum output of the power supply to the extension cards is normally at about 5 5A Booting options First RouterBOOT loader is started It displays some useful information on the onboard RS232C asynchronous serial port which is set to 115200bit s 8 data bits 1 stop bit no parity by default The loader may be configured to boot the system from the onboard NAND module or from Ethernet network See the 5 RouterBOARD 450 G Series User s Manual respective section of this manual for how to configure booting sequence and other boot loader parameters Onboard NAND Storage Device The RouterBOARD may be started from the onboard NAND storage chip As there is no partition table on the device the boot loader assumes the first 4MiB form a YAFFS filesystem and executes the file called kernel stored in the root directory on that partition It is possible to partition the rest of the medium by patching the kernel source Booting from network Network boot works similarly to PXE or EtherBoot protocol and allows you to boot a RouterBOARD 450 series computer from an executable image stored on a TFTP server It uses BOOTP or DHCP configurable in bo2. if you purchased your equipment directly from MikroTik Latvia To return failed unit or units to MikroTikls you must perform the following RMA Return Material Authorization procedure Follow the instructions below to save time efforts avoid costs and improve the speed of the RMA process Take into account that all goods have one year warranty Instructions are located on our webpage here http rma mikrotik com Manual This manual is provided as is without a warranty of any kind expressed or implied including but not limited to the implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose The manufacturer has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the contents of this manual however it is possible that it may contain technical inaccuracies typographical or other errors No liability is assumed for any inaccuracy found in this publication nor for direct or indirect incidental consequential or other damages that may result from such an inaccuracy including but not limited to loss of data or profits Please report any inaccuracies found to support mikrotik com RouterBOARD 450 G Series User s Manual Table of Contents COPY Ea A A AA EA A AA A O A A li 1 TEA A A ii 1 LT WAN ii a A A A A A 1 System Board VIE a a o tds 3 System Board LayQUE corra a ID DO EE AA ARA na AO RA AA RA A 3 Hardwarea UI A E AT A A A ada 4 Memory and Storage De
