Redundant Power System LED
The Redundant Power System (RPS) LED shows the RPS status (Ta ble 3-2 ). Certain switches in the
switch cluster use a specific RPS model:
Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1)—Catalyst 2900 LRE XL, Catalyst 2950,
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL, and Catalyst 3550 switches
Cisco RPS 60 0 (mo del PWR600-AC-RPS) —Catal yst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches,
except the Catalyst 2900 LRE XL and Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches
Refer to the appropriate switch hardware documentation for RPS descr ipti ons specif ic for t he s wit ch.

The RPS could be in standby mode. To put the RPS in Active mode, press the Standby/Active button on the
RPS, and the LED should turn green. If it does not, one of these conditions could exist:
One of the RPS power supplies could be down. Contact Cisco Systems.
The RPS fan could have failed. Contact Cisco Systems.
Blinking amber Internal power supply of the switch is down, and redundancy i s lost . T he sw itch is o pe rat ing o n the RPS.
