RPS-500p Redundant Power Supply

Tip

Extreme Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) do not support the ability for the RPS to be connected to an operational switch. Connecting an RPS to an operational switch can have an adverse effect on the switch. It is best practice that both the switch and the RPS be powered down prior to cabling them together. Once the cabling is completed, turn on the RPS, then turn on the switch.

The RPS-500p (model 10923) is a 500 watt DC power redundant power supply for use with Extreme 802.3at PoE-compliant stackable or standalone switches. The RPS-500p is a standalone unit that can be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack.

The power supply provides power backup to an Extreme stackable or standalone fixed switch. If for some reason the switch loses power from its internal power supply, the RPS-500p can provide up to 500 watts maximum operating power to support switch operation and the 55 VDC necessary to support 55 VDC/data connections to PDs (powered devices). The RPS-500p has one 2x7 power connector.

The power supply ships with the following:

RPS cable (1 meter long)
Four rubber feet (for flat surface installation)
Two rack mount brackets
Eight flathead screws (M3x6mm)

The RPS-500p is compatible with the following Extreme Networks switches:

X440-G2 switches (most models)
X450-G2 switches (non-PoE models)

The RPS-500p is compatible with both PoE and non-PoE switches.

Power LED	Meaning	Recommended Action
Green, solid	AC input to power supply is within specifications	None
Off	AC input power to power supply is out of specification.	Check AC power cord connection to the power supply. Check AC power at the power outlet. Swap power cord for a known good one. If the problem persists, contact Extreme Networks for support.
