Important

Connections must be made in a specific order when attaching an RPS to a powered system.

The supplied one meter RPS cable (part no. RPS-CBL-1M) is required for use with the RPS-550W and RPS-950W external redundant power supplies.

To connect the RPS:

  1. Connect the RPS cable between the switch and the RPS before connecting the AC power cord. The RPS cable is connected from the Redundant Power Output on the rear panel of the RPS to the Redundant Power Input on rear panel of the switch.
  2. Connect the AC power cord to the AC input power connector on the RPS, then plug the AC power cord into the main AC power outlet.

The AC power LED on the rear of the RPS turns green to indicate a successful connection and that the RPS is operating properly.

If the PWR LED does not turn green, refer to External Redundant Power Supply LEDs for troubleshooting information.
