To verify that the UPS unit’s maximum wattage is not exceeded, calculate the total power consumption of all units connected to the Advanced RPS. If the result is less than 325 watts, your configuration is safe if the result is greater than 325 watts, then there are too many units connected to the Advanced RPS Page Table 3-1 Gigabit Ethernet Maximum Cable Lengths MAKING CONNECTIONSconnecting to the network backbone.
