Powering
The device accepts 11-57 V DC ⎓ from the direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin
positive plug) accepts. The Ethernet port 1 accepts 802.3af/at and passive PoE power input (18-57 V DC).
The power consumption of this device under maximum load is up to 17 W. It is possible to connect both power
inputs at the same time and they will work in fail-over mode (input with higher voltage will work as the main source).
When using 802.3af/at to power this device, we recommend not using grounding for best compatibility.
Configuration
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest to
start here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS3xx_series_switches.
In case the IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (http://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC
address of the device.
The device is equipped with an RS-232 serial port, set by default to 115200 bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device for reinstallation, see the next section.
The device supports booting RouterOS (for routing and switching configuration) or SwOS (for only using as a
switch). By default the device will boot RouterOS, but you can reboot into the other operating system in the
following ways:
• From SwOS: In the System menu, click “Boot RouterOS” button on the bottom of the page.
• From RouterOS: in the System, RouterBOARD menu, click “Settings” and there select “Boot OS”.
It is also possible to select the OS and configure other boot settings via the serial console menu.
Buttons and Jumpers
The reset button has these functions:
• Hold this button during boot time until the user LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset
RouterOS configuration.
• Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds or until the user LED turns off, then release it to make the
RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers. The first Ethernet port is used for the Netinstall process.
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. Release the button before LED begins to flash, to only load backup
RouterBOOT without reset. This is useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.
LED indicators
• Power LED is lit when the router is powered from the DC jack or PoE.
• The user LED can be configured from RouterOS.
• The port LEDs indicate the individual Ethernet and SFP port activity.
Accessories

• Fastening set for rackmount case K-37.
