## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which board revision is this product? v1.0 or v1.1?**
A: Now the version of the board sent is V1.1 version, please feel free to buy, thank you !

**Q: Can one SFP be connected to LAN and the other to WAN?**
A: That's how it's laid out by default.  Sfp2 bridged with lan, wan port bridged eth1(other sfp).  I use it as a home router only with SFPs and nothing plugged in to any of the rj45's.

**Q: Does the case come without logos and inscriptions or with the banana pi logo(s)? I am interested in a cabinet without logos (clean)**
A: Dear friends, This shell contains the BPI logo. If you want to customize your company or personal logo, you can contact our store and we can customize it for you. Of course, there are quantity requirements. Thank you.

**Q: does this come pre installed with openwrt? Also does it need any additional components like heat sink or fan?**
A: BPI R3 burned the openwrt system to nand before leaving the factory, and it can be started directly from nand; if you want to improve the heat dissipation of R3, you can buy a radiator for installation. The accessories in our package are accessories that allow users to boot directly, please Don't worry, thank you
