Chapter 2 Installation
Connecting the RPS 675
Note The switch might restart when it changes from RPS power to its own internal
power. This situation might occur after the power supply on a switch fails, the
RPS takes over, and the switch reverts to its own power. We advise you to assume
this possibility and plan accordingly when you restart a switch using its internal
power after using the RPS as backup power.
Warning
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and
unplug the power cord.
Statement 1
With the RPS 675 on a desktop or in a rack, connect devices as follows:
Step 1 If the RPS is already connected to AC power, press the Standby/Active button on
the RPS to put it into standby mode or disconnect the RPS from the AC power. If
you pressed the Standby/Active button, the Standby/Active LED should begin
blinking amber. If the Standby/Active LED does not blink amber, see Chapter 3,
“Troubleshooting.”
Step 2 Connect one end of an RPS connector cable (CAB-RPS-1614=) to an RPS DC
output connector. See Figure 2-6. To ensure proper operation, be sure that you
completely seat the connector and that you securely tighten the screw.
Note The connector is designed to be inserted into the receptacle in its correct
orientation.
