Mounting Instructions
NOTICE: Before you install the PowerConnect™ RPS-60, consult the
User's Guide for your PowerConnect switch to confirm that your switch
supports the PowerConnect RPS-60 redundant power system.
The PowerConnect RPS-60 is an external redundant power system that
provides a second redundant power supply for your PowerConnect switch,
eliminating the power supply as a single point of failure. To use the RPS-60:
1 Attach the adapter tray to the back of the switch by tightening the two
mounting screws.
2 Insert the power adapter into the tray.
3 Plug the power adapter’s DC cable into the connector labeled "RPS"
on the back of the switch.
4 Connect the AC power cable to the power adapter, and then plug it
into an electrical outlet.
The switch is now using both power supplies simultaneously. You can
monitor the status of the two power supplies with the front-panel LEDs on
your PowerConnect switch.
