Connecting a You can connect a SuperStack 3 Advanced Redundant Power System to Redundant Power the Switch. This unit, which is also known as an RPS, is designed to

System maintain the power to your Switch if a power supply failure occurs.

For normal redundancy, the unit requires one Type 3 Power Module (part number 3C16075).

For full redundancy, the unit requires two Type 3 Power Modules combined using a Type 3 Y-Cable (part number 3C16077).

WARNING: If you are connecting the Switch to a Type 3 Power Module, read the Safety Information section in the Type 3 Power Module User Guide.

CAUTION: The Switch can only use a SuperStack Advanced Redundant

Power System output.

CAUTION: The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method of connecting or disconnecting mains power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord.

Choosing the Correct If your Switch has 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, these ports are Auto-MDIX, 10/100/1000BASE-Tthat is they have a cross-over capability. These ports can automatically

Cables detect whether to operate in MDI or MDIX mode. Therefore you can make a connection to one of the ports with a straight-through (MDI) or a cross-over cable (MDIX).

The Auto-MDIX feature only operates when auto-negotiation is enabled.

If auto-negotiation is disabled, all the Switch ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over). If you want to make a connection to another MDIX port, you need a cross-overcable. Many ports on workstations and servers are configured as MDI (straight-through). If you want to make a connection to an MDI port, you need to use a standard straight-throughcable. See Table 7.

3Com recommends that you use at least Category 5 twisted pair cable — the maximum segment length for this type of cable is 100 m (328 ft).
