AT-RPS3004 Redundent Power Supply Unit &
AT-PWR3004 Power Module
Installation Guide
Overview
The AT-RPS3004 can supply redundant power for up to four Ethernet switches. It provides
external power to the switch should the primary (internal) power supply unit fail. Initially, it
contains one pre-installed AT-PWR3004 power module. Each AT-PWR3004 power module
can support one switch.
You can purchase additional power modules from your Allied Telesis representative. If you
purchased more AT-PWR3004 Power Modules, they must be installed in the AT-RPS3004
Redundent Power Supply Unit. The power modules cannot be used as standalone units.
This power supply supports the following Fast Ethernet Switches:
❑ AT-8016F/MT
❑ AT-8016F/SC
❑ AT-8024M
❑ AT-8516F/SC
❑ AT-8524M
❑ AT-8550/SP
❑ AT-8624T/2M
❑ AT-8648T/2SP
The AT-RPS3004 can be installed on a desktop or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
It is not necessary to power OFF the AT-RPS3004 unit or the connected Ethernet switches
to install a new AT-PWR3004 power module.

Warning: To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover.
No user-serviceable parts inside. This unit contains hazardous
voltages and should only be opened by a trained and qualified
technician. To avoid the possibility of electric shock, disconnect
electric power to the product before connecting or
disconnecting the LAN cables.
Warning: Do not work on equipment or cables during periods
of lightning activity.
Warning: Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To deenergize equipment, disconnect the power cord.
Warning: Class I Equipment. This equipment must be earthed.
The power plug must be connected to a properly wired earth
ground socket outlet. An improperly wired socket outlet could
place hazardous voltages on accessible metal parts.
Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Caution: Air vents must not be blocked and must have free
access to the room ambient air for cooling.
Warning: Operating Temperature. This product is designed for
a maximum ambient temperature of 40° degrees C.
All Countries: Install product in accordance with local and
National Electrical Codes.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.

Installing an AT-RPS3004 Power Supply Unit
The redundant power supply should be installed close to the switches so that you can
easily connect the RPS DC cables to the unit. It is recommended that you install the
redundant power supply directly above or below your Ethernet switch.
Perform the following procedure to install the power supply in a standard 19-inch rack. If you
are not installing the power supply in a rack, go to step 7:
1. Place the unit upside down on a level, secure surface.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the snap-on plastic feet from the bottom of the
power supply, as displayed below.
E25
Warning: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven
mechanical loading.
E35
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).

Installing an Additional AT-PWR3004 Power Supply Module
The AT-PWR3004 power module must be installed in an AT-RPS3004 chassis.
It cannot be used as a standalone unit.
It is not necessary to power OFF the AT-RPS3004 unit or the connected Ethernet
switches to install a new AT-PWR3004 power module.
To install an additional AT-PWR3004 power module, perform the following steps:

the packing material in a safe place.
2. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot from the front of the ATRPS3004 unit by unscrewing the two installation screws with a Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Before installing the new AT-PWR-3004 power module, identify the DC power
connector on the back panel of the AT-RPS3004 unit directly behind the power
module slot where the new power module will be installed and attach one end of
the provided DC power cord to this DC connector.
4. Attach the other end of the DC power cord to the RPS Input connector on the back
panel of the Ethernet switch.
5. Place one hand under the AT-PWR3004 power module to support it and place the
other hand on the handle. Slide the new AT-PWR3004 power module into the
