Caution: The RPS does not support PoE-compliant SecureStack switches. Do not try to
connect the power cable from this RPS to any SecureStack switch with a “P” suffix in the
model name, such as C2xxxxx-xxP. Otherwise, damage to the device may result.
Precaución: El RPS no es compatible con switches SecureStack C2 con PoE. No intente
conectar el cable de corriente del RPS a ningún switch SecureStack C2 que tenga el sufijo
“P” en el nombre del modelo, tal como C2xxxxx-xxP. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede
dañarse.
Note: Connection of the RPS system does not require the reconfiguration of the
connected Ethernet Switch.

C2RPS-CHAS8 Chassis
Thechassisisaaneight‐slotframewithoutACpowerconnectionsorelectronics.The
chassiscanbeinstalledinastandard19‐inchrackandpopulatedwithuptoeightPSMs.
EachPSMoperatesindependently.

RPS Deployment Strategies
1-4 Introduction
RPS Deployment Strategies
TheRPScanbedeployedinavarietyofsituationswithmission‐criticalapplications.
For example:
•ForuseinavoiceanddatanetworkwhereswitchesareconnectedtoIPphonesand
PCs.ConnectinganRPStotheswitchescanpreventvoicenetworkfailurescausedby
switchfailures.
•Foruseintraditionaldata10/100/1000Ethernetswitchescarryingmission‐critical
data.
TheseapplicationswouldtypicallyuseoneRPStosupportuptoeightSecureStackC2
switchdevicesasshowninFigure 1‐5.IfaSecureStackC2switchdeviceexperiencesan
internalpower‐supplyfailure,thefollowingoccurs:
1. TheSecureStackC2switchdeviceinternalDC‐powersourceisimmediatelyswitched
overfromtheinternalDC‐powersupplytotheRPSDC‐powerinput.
2. TheSecureStackC2switchdevicesavesthisstatusinformationforfutureretrieval,if
necessary.
