The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Ciscos installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Modifying the equipment without Ciscos written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense. You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures: Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio. Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio. Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.) Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

1. The Cisco RPS has a demonstrated mean time between failures (MTBF) of greater than 500,000 hours in this mode. 2. The redundant-with-reboot configuration is not recommended because of the reboot and downtime; if you use this configuration, always power up the switch before you power up the Cisco RPS to ensure correct operation. 3. The Cisco RPS can also be used with the older FastHub 100, 200, and 300 series hubs. 4. If you are using a Cisco RPS with a revision level lower than Z3 with a Catalyst 3508G or a Catalyst 3548 XL switch, the switch RPS LED and the RPS DC LED might display amber (normally indicating RPS malfunction) even when the Cisco RPS is functioning properly. The LEDs display correctly for Cisco RPS revision level Z3 or later revision. The label on the bottom of the Cisco RPS shows the revision level. 5. For simplicity, Cisco 2500 series access servers, such as the Cisco 2509 or the Cisco 2511, are referred to as Cisco 2500 series routers throughout this guide.
Note
You might need to order a power adapter plate for your router or concentrator to make it compatible with the Cisco RPS. Table 3-1 on page 3-6 lists adapter plates and order numbers.
1-3
Overview
Quasi-Redundant Configuration
The Cisco RPS provides a quasi-redundant power source for four external devices that use up to 150W DC each. This configuration is allowed for all supported devices. You can use a one-to-one cable (one connector at each cable end) to connect four external devices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-1. The power source is quasi-redundant because there are two AC input power modules for the Cisco RPS and one DC output power module for each external device. The AC input to the Cisco RPS is fully redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.
Note
This is the only recommended configuration for Cisco switches and hubs.

Chapter 1
Fully Redundant Configuration

The Cisco RPS can provide a fully redundant power source for two of the supported routers or concentrators. You can use a two-to-one cable (ordered separately) to connect two external devices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-2. The two-to-one cable is a Y-shaped cable with two connectors at one end and one connector at the other end. In this configuration, the connectors at one end of the Y-shaped cable connect to two Cisco RPS DC output power modules; the single connector on the other end of the cable connects to one external device. The power source is fully redundant, because there are two AC input modules and two DC output power modules connected to each external device. If any power module fails, there is a full backup.
Note
This configuration is not supported for switches and hubs.

Overview
Redundant with Reboot

By using a mode of operation called redundant with reboot, you can connect more hubs and switches to the Cisco RPS and thereby extend its capacity or provide additional redundancy. Redundancy with reboot works for the following devices only: FastHub 400 series hubs, Catalyst 1900 series and Catalyst 2820 switches, and Catalyst 2900 series and Catalyst 3500 series XL switches. However, this configuration is not generally recommended, because a power supply failure will cause an interruption while the hub or switch reboots. The redundant-with-reboot configuration is shown in Figure 1-3, where a straight-through one-to-one cable connects an external switch or hub to the Cisco RPS while the device is powered by its own internal power supply (the device AC power plug is connected).

Note
If you use this configuration, always power up the external device before powering up the Cisco RPS to ensure correct operation. If the Cisco RPS powers up first, the LEDs might not indicate the actual state. After power up, a sense circuit in the Cisco RPS reads that the device has its AC power connected and shuts the Cisco RPS output off, preventing competition between the power supplies. Normally, the external device internal power supply always provides power. If the internal power system of the hub or switch fails, the device powers down briefly (for approximately 30 seconds) until the Cisco RPS begins supplying power. When the device comes back up, the Cisco RPS is the main power source. In this configuration, if the Cisco RPS fails or is disconnected, the external device does not power cycle, because its internal power supply has not been disturbed. When both the Cisco RPS and internal power supply are powered, the RPS LED on the external device blinks green, and the LED on the Cisco RPS front panel is off because the Cisco RPS is not supplying power. Despite 30 seconds of downtime that occur when using redundancy with reboot, this configuration does provide additional redundancy and extends the capacity of the Cisco RPS.
Note
Cisco recommends that you do not use the redundant-with-reboot configuration with the hub or switch connected to both the Cisco RPS and to the AC power plug, because of the 30-second reboot and downtime. If you do use the redundant-with-reboot configuration, always power up the external device before you power up the Cisco RPS to ensure correct operation. When the Cisco RPS powers up first, the LEDs might not indicate the actual state.
Quasi- and Fully Redundant Mixed Configuration

You can mix quasi-redundant and fully redundant configurations for supported devices. For example, two devices can be in quasi-redundant mode while one is in fully redundant mode (see Figure 1-4).

Chapter 2 Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
Planning Your Rack-Mount Installation

Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Make sure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. When mounting a chassis in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack. Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different configurations. When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack and in adjacent racks to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power. Install the Cisco RPS and the external device to which it will connect in adjacent shelves in a rack.
The following information will help you plan your equipment rack installation:

Connection Requirements
This chapter describes the equipment required to connect the Cisco RPS to external devices. The Cisco RPS includes two fully redundant AC input power modules and four DC output power modules for connection to external devices. The Cisco RPS supports a quasi-redundant configuration for all devices, fully redundant configuration for the referenced Cisco routers and concentrator, and redundant-with-reboot configurations for the referenced hubs and switches. However, the redundant-with-reboot configuration is not recommended because a power supply failure will cause an interruption while the hub or switch reboots. For an explanation of power source configurations, refer to Chapter 1, Overview.
Caution
The Cisco RPS AC input power modules are power-factor-corrected to comply with certain International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. Do not connect the Cisco RPS to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that has not been tested and designed for power-factor-corrected power systems. Do not connect the Cisco RPS to a ferro-resonant transformer. If you do either of these things, you could damage the Cisco RPS. This chapter contains the following sections:

This chapter provides instructions on connecting your external device to the Cisco RPS. The chapter is divided into the following major sections:
Power Considerations, page 4-1 Connecting Hubs, page 4-3 Connecting Switches, page 4-7 Connecting Routers and the Cisco MC3810 Concentrator, page 4-13
Power Considerations
Before connecting to external devices, read the power warnings below. We recommend that you disconnect all power before beginning.
Note
If you want to connect an additional external device to a Cisco RPS that is already powered up, you can do so without interrupting power to the Cisco RPS or any other connected external devices. Be sure to connect your cable to the Cisco RPS first and then to the external device. However, in a redundant-with-reboot configuration, to ensure proper operation, you must power up the switch or hub before powering up the Cisco RPS. Therefore, always connect the switch to AC power before you connect it to the Cisco RPS. Failure to follow the proper power-up sequence can result in incorrect LED displays.
