Product overview
Introduction
The RPS1600-A is an external power supply that uses AC inputs and
provides eight lines of DC output, with a maximum output power of
3200 W (220 VAC input voltage) and 1600 W (110 VAC input voltage).
It can provide DC power supply simultaneously for multiple powered
devices (PDs), such as switches and routers. The RPS1600-A can
serve as:
•A heavy-duty external PoE power supply
•A redundant power supply for PDs
Serving as a redundant power supply, the RPS1600-A offers the
following functions:
•If using the same AC power source with a PD, when the internal
power supply system of the PD fails, the RPS1600-A can
provide DC power supply to the PD, ensuring uninterrupted
operation of the PD.
•If using a different AC power source from the PD, when the AC
power source to the PD fails, the RPS1600-A can provide DC
power supply to the PD, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the
PD.
The RPS1600-A adopts a power supply failover mechanism: when
the power supply of the PD works properly, both the RPS1600-A and
the PD’s power supply can supply power to implement load sharing;
when the power supply of the PD fails, only the RPS1600-A works to
ensure uninterrupted operation of the PD.

NOTE:
A
s optional parts for the RPS1600-A, different types DC output
cables are available depending on the requirement of the
powered device. For details about the DC output cables, please
consult H3C marketing or customer service staff.
Front panel
The RPS1600-A has two power module slots, allowing two power
modules to work in parallel, one of which is provided by default and

5
Table 2 Protection features of the RPS1600-A
Item Description
Input
over-voltage
protection
When the input voltage exceeds 295 ± 5 VAC,
the unit executes an over-voltage protection
shutdown and displays an alarm through the
alarm LED.
When the input voltage comes down to 275 ± 5
VAC, the unit automatically recovers and clears
the alarm.
Input
under-voltage
protection
When the input voltage comes down to 75 ± 5
VAC, the unit executes an under-voltage
protection shutdown and displays an alarm
through the alarm LED.
When the input voltage rises to 85 ± 5 VAC, the
unit automatically recovers and clears the
alarm.
Output
over-voltage
protection
When the output voltage exceeds –59.5 VDC,
the power module executes an over-voltage
protection shutdown and displays an alarm
through the alarm LED. To remove the fault,
pull out the power module and insert it again, or
turn off the AC input and turn it on again.
Output
over-current
protection
When the output current of a power module
exceeds 31.5 ± 1.5 A, the power module
executes an over-current protection shutdown
and displays an alarm through the alarm LED.
When the over-current condition is eliminated,
the power module automatically recovers and
clears the alarm.

6
Item Description
Per-output
over-current
protection and
short-circuit
protection
A protection action of one output does not affect
any other.
•For a 25-A output, press the reset button to
clear the condition;
•For an 8-A output, check the corresponding
fuse, and replace the fuse if it was blown to
clear the condition.
Over-tempera
ture protection
At temperatures between 65°C (149°F) and
75°C (167°F), the unit operates with reduced
output power.
At temperatures higher than 75°C (167°F), the
unit executes an over-temperature protection
shutdown and displays an alarm through the
alarm LED.
When the temperature comes down to 65°C
(149°F), the unit automatically recovers and
clears the alarm.
AD162M56-1M1/AD162M56-1M1A power
module
The power module is a hot-swappable internal AC-DC power supply
for standalone use or for working in parallel. When working in parallel,
the power modules automatically share the current in the power
supply system. Each AD162M56-1M1/AD162M56-1M1A power
module delivers a maximum output power of 1600 W.

WARNING!
The RPS1600-A can provide power supply to multiple PDs
simultaneously. Use one or two power modules depending on
the power consumption of the PDs. Make sure that:
•The system power consumption of each PD does not
exceed the maximum output power of the corresponding DC
output;
•The total power consumption contributed by all the PDs
does not exceed the total maximum output power of the
RPS1600-A.

Installation
Precautions
To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper
use, observe these rules:
•Do not place the RPS1600-A on an unstable case or table, and
ensure that the cabinet and the workbench are firm enough to
support the RPS1600-A and its accessories.
•Make sure that the cabinet and workbench has a good
ventilation system, and enough room is left around the air intake
and outlet of the RPS1600-A for heat dissipation. Never block
the air intake and outlet of the RPS1600-A. (The air intake of the
RPS1600-A is located on the front panel of the AD162M56-1M1/
AD162M56-1M1A. Air flows in through the air intake and flows
out through the heat dissipation holes located at the two sides of
the RPS1600-A.)
•Keep the RPS1600-A away from high-power radio transmitters,
radars, and high-frequency devices working in high current. Use
electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
•Make sure that the operating voltage of the power source
matches the voltage required by the RPS1600-A.
•Interface cables must be routed indoors. Otherwise,
over-voltage and over-current may damage the device. As for
power cables from the outside of the building, you can add a
dedicated lightning arrester at the input end of the cables.
•To enhance lightning protection, add a power lightning arrester
at the input end.
•Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing the
RPS1600-A, and make sure that the wrist strap has good skin
contact.

11
•To avoid electric shock, never open the chassis of the
RPS1600-A while it is in operation; try not to open the
RPS1600-A even if it is not electrified.
•Unplug the power cable before cleaning the RPS1600-A.
•Keep the equipment room clean. The limits on the
concentrations of dust and harmful gases in the equipment
room are shown in Table 5 and Table 6.

Install the RPS1600-A by using front and rear mounting
brackets
Follow these steps to install the RPS1600-A by using front and rear
mounting brackets:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap (make sure it makes good
skin contact and is well grounded), and check the grounding and
stableness of the rack.
2. Unpack the supplied front mounting brackets and screws, and
attach the front mounting brackets to the RPS1600-A with the
screws. Figure 5 shows how to install a mounting bracket to one
side of the switch. Install the other mounting bracket in the same
way.

holding the front end of the RPS1600-A, gently push the
RPS1600-A into the rack. After pushing the RPS1600-A into the
rack, make sure of the close contact between the upper edges
of the rear mounting brackets on the rack and the weight-bearing
screws on the RPS1600-A, as shown in Figure 8.
6. Fix the front mounting brackets to the front square-holed posts
of the rack by using M6 screws and cage nuts (user supplied).
Make sure that the RPS1600-A is securely fixed with the front
and rear mounting brackets on the rack, as shown in Figure 8.
