The Cisco RPS supports quasi-redundant, fully redundant, or redundant-with-reboot configurations, depending upon the external device. This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco RPS features, including the supported external devices and power configurations, in the following sections: •...
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support of error messages • for Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3620/3640 series routers. (There is no SNMP support for error messages in the Cisco 1516M hub, FastHub 400 series hub, Catalyst 1900 series switches, Catalyst 2820 series switches, Catalyst 2900 and Catalyst 3500 series XL switches, Cisco 2500 and 4000 series routers, and the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator.)
Page 25
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.
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.
Supported Devices and Configurations 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,...
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.
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.
DC output Fully redundant Quasi-Redundant Front and Rear Panel Descriptions The LEDs on the Cisco RPS front panel show the Cisco RPS operational status. Figure 1-5 shows the front panel of the Cisco RPS. Figure 1-5 Cisco RPS Front Panel...
FAN and TEMP LEDs—Both on the right side of the front panel. • When the Cisco RPS is working properly, all LEDs on its front panel are solid green. Some external devices also include LEDs that show the operating condition of the Note Cisco RPS.

LED Name Color/State Description AC STATUS Off AC power is not being supplied to the Cisco RPS, or it is switched off. Amber AC power is being supplied to the Cisco RPS, but the designated AC-input power module has failed.

Caution 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.

Catalyst 3500 series XL switches ship with an RPS connector and do not require a power adapter plate. If you did not order your router or concentrator with a Cisco RPS connector installed, you must order a power adapter plate that provides compatibility and must install the plate in place of your existing power supply.
Before connecting to external devices, read the power warnings below. We recommend that you disconnect all power before beginning. If you want to connect an additional external device to a Cisco RPS that is already Note powered up, you can do so without interrupting power to the Cisco RPS or any other connected external devices.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS Connecting Hubs Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS receptacle. To Warning see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS Connecting Hubs The Cisco RPS can also be used with the older FastHub 100, 200, and 300 series Note hubs. All hubs can use the one-to-one cable configuration for quasi-redundancy. The FastHub 400 series also supports the option of connecting the AC power cord for redundancy with reboot, although this configuration is not recommended.

Reading the LEDs Some external devices also have LEDs that show the operating condition of the Note Cisco RPS. Refer to the installation guide that accompanied the device for detailed information about the LEDs. Table 5-1 lists symptoms indicating a problem, along with possible causes and suggested corrective actions.

DC status is normal. Board Temperature: Warning: Board overtemperature condition detected. If the Cisco RPS gets too hot, it shuts down to prevent damage to its components. Caution If thermal shutdown occurs because the cooling system failed or the ambient temperature rose above normal operating limits, a thermal warning displays on the router console, and an SNMP trap is sent before shutdown.

Replacing an External Device If an external device (hub, switch, router, or concentrator) that is receiving power from the Cisco RPS fails, you can replace it without powering down the Cisco RPS or interrupting power to any other external devices. Follow these steps to replace a failed external device that is connected to the Cisco RPS: Do not power down the Cisco RPS.
