Selecting a Site
The AT-RPS9000 chassis can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level
surface such as a desktop or bench. When installing the RPS, choose a site that:
■ Allows adequate airflow around the RPS’s vents. If RPS units are stacked
on top of each other, their rubber feet must be fitted.
■ Is free of dust and moisture.
■ Will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F) and
a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.
■ Has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply circuit, preferably
dedicated and filtered.
C613-04040-01 REV C
■ Allows easy access to the unit’s cable connections.
■ Will allow the RPS to be connected to a power supply and its switches,
using the supplied cables. The cables will be damaged if bent excessively.

RPS and Switch Compatibility
To provide redundant power to AT-9812T and AT-9816GB switches, use an
AT-RPS9000 chassis. The chassis must be fitted with one AT-PWR9000 power
unit for each switch that is to receive redundant power. The AT-RPS9000 can
take up to four AT-PWR9000 power units, and so can supply up to four
switches.
AT-PWR9000 power units can only be used in the AT-RPS9000 chassis.
Installing the RPS
This equipment must be earthed.
Do not attempt to install an RPS without observing correct antistatic
procedures. Failure to do so may damage the RPS or AT-9800 Series switch. If
you are unsure what the correct procedures are, contact your authorised Allied
Telesis distributor or reseller.
Ensure that there is no AC power applied to the RPS before the DC cable is
disconnected, or connected.
Follow these steps to install the RPS:
1. Read the safety information.
For safety information, see the AT-RPS9000 Safety and Statutory Information
booklet. A copy of this booklet is supplied with the RPS, and can also be
found at www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software.
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver when removing blank faceplates and
securing AT-PWR9000 power units.
To install the RPS in a rack you will need a screwdriver, screws to attach
the rack-mount brackets to the rack, and cage nuts.
You will also need the cables that were packed with the RPS.
3. Unpack the AT-RPS9000.
In an antistatic environment, remove the AT-RPS9000 from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact
your sales representative.
4. Fit the power cord retaining clips.
There are two retaining clips, one for each of the AC power inlets on the
chassis’s rear panel.

5. Place the AT-RPS9000 in its operating location.
If installing the RPS on a desktop:
• Make sure the RPS’s rubber feet are attached.
If installing the RPS in a rack:
• Remove the rubber feet.
• Attach the rack-mounting brackets.
• Mount the RPS in the rack.
For more information on selecting a site, see “Selecting a Site” on page 3.
6. Install the AT-PWR9000 power unit (if not already installed).
• In an antistatic environment, remove the AT-PWR9000 from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.
• On the AT-RPS9000 chassis, choose an empty bay and remove its blank
faceplate by loosening the two Phillips screws until they disengage
from the chassis (see Figure 1 on page 5).
Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove a power unit, replace the faceplate to
prevent dust and debris from entering the AT-RPS9000 chassis and to maintain proper
airflow.
The AT-RPS9000 and other AT-PWR9000 units may overheat or be damaged by
dust and debris if bays are left uncovered.
• Slowly and carefully slide the power unit into the chassis.
• Firmly press the power unit home (until its front panel engages or
nearly engages the chassis).
• Tighten the two Phillips screws on the power unit’s faceplate.

7. Connect the DC cable(s)
On the AT-RPS9000’s rear panel, attach one end of the provided DC cable
to an output connector. Use a connector that is directly behind a bay that
has an installed AT-PWR9000 power unit. Figure 2 on page 6 shows the DC
output connectors.
Attach the other end of the DC cable to the RPS input connector on an
AT-9812T or AT-9816GB switch. The RPS input connector is on the switch’s
rear panel.

8. Apply power to the AT-PWR9000.
There are two AC inputs on the chassis’s rear panel (see Figure 2 on
page 6). Input A feeds the two bays that supply RPS outputs A1 and A2,
while input B feeds the bays that supply outputs B1 and B2.

Use the provided AC power cord(s) to connect the appropriate bays (bays
that have installed AT-PWR9000 units) to a mains power supply.
9. Activate the RPS output(s).
There are four standby switches on the chassis’s rear panel, one for each
RPS output (see Figure 2 on page 6). Press the standby switch that is closest
to the RPS output you want to activate.
10. Check the RPS and switch LEDs.
RPS and AT-9812T or AT-9816GB switch LEDs indicate the system’s
operational status. See “LEDs” on page 7 for more information. If the RPS
does not function as expected, see “Troubleshooting” on page 8.

Troubleshooting
If the RPS does not function as expected, follow these steps:
1. Check all cable connections are correct and secure.
2. Check that AT-PWR9000 units are installed in the correct bays (bays that
have AC input and DC output cables connected).
3. Check the standby switches for the appropriate bays have been pressed,
and are in the ON position.
4. Check the RPS is receiving the correct AC voltage.
5. If the LEDs indicate a switch fault, replace the switch or have it serviced by
authorised service personnel.
If the LEDs still indicate a fault, but no fault exists on the switch or power
supply circuits, or if the LEDs indicate an RPS fault, contact your authorised
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
