620 RPS/EPS Connectivity

This section shows some recommended connection topologies using the 620

RPS/EPS. The 620 RPS/EPS can provide backup power support for up to two

HP ProCurve switches. In the illustration below, two HP ProCurve 3500yl-24G-

PWR switches are connected to the RPS ports on a 620 RPS/EPS.
