Connecting the switch to a +12 VDC output RPS

This section applies to the 5120-24G EI (2 slots), 5120-24G EI TAA (2 slots), 5120-48G EI (2 slots), 5120-48G EI TAA (2 slots), 5120-24G EI, and 5120-48G EI switches.

To connect these switches to the RPS that provides +12 VDC output:

1.Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded.

2.Loosen the captive screws on the RPS receptacle protective cover and remove the protective cover, see Figure 64.

If you do not use the RPS receptacle, install the protective cover.

Figure 64 Remove the RPS receptacle protective cover

3.Unpack the RPS cable shipped with the RPS, identify the plug for connecting to the switch, correctly orient the plug with the RPS receptacle on the switch chassis, and insert the plug into the receptacle (see callout 1 in Figure 65).

The RPS receptacle is foolproof. If you cannot insert the plug into the receptacle, re-orient the plug rather than use excessive force to push it in.

4.Tighten the screws on the plug with a flat-blade screwdriver to secure the plug in the RPS receptacle (see callout 2 in Figure 65).
