Figure 2-3. Attaching the Adhesive Feet

2.Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.

Caution: DO NOT connect the RPS to an AC power source until DC power cords have been connected to the supported switches.

To connect switches to the RPS, refer to Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 and proceed as follows:

1.Power up the switch by connecting one end of the AC cord to the AC receptacle on the supported switch, and the other end to a grounded power outlet.
