| RPS Port | ||
| An optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is connected to the RPS port. An RPS enhances | ||
| the reliability of the Ethernet switch and it can keep the unit running if a power failure | ||
| occurs. Only use a Linksys RPS1000 Redundant Power Supply unit and a proper RPS cable | ||
| (RPSCBL1) with the Ethernet switch. | ||
|
|
| |
|
| WARNING: Do not remove the cover |
|
|
| from the RPS port unless an RPS unit is |
|
|
| connected to the Ethernet switch. Keep |
|
|
| the RPS port covered when not in use. |
