CHAPTER
1
Overview of the Cisco RPS
This chapter describes the Cisco 600W RPS, its features, and supported devices. The
Cisco RPS provides power system redundancy to external devices such as routers,
switches, or hubs.
The system includes two fully redundant AC input power modules and four DC output
power modules for connection to external devices. The Cisco RPS supports
quasi-redundant, fully redundant, and redundant-with-reboot configurations.
Table 1-1 lists the supported external devices and power configurations. Figure 1-1 shows
the front panel of the Cisco RPS, and Figure 1-2 shows the rear panel.

Quasi-Redundant Configuration
Quasi-Redundant Configuration
The Cisco RPS provides a quasi-redundant power source for four external devices that use
up to 150W DC each. Youcan use a one-to-one cable (one connector at each cable end) to
connectfourexternaldevices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-3.
The power source is quasi-redundant because there are two AC input power modules for
the Cisco RPS and one DC output powermodule for each external device. The AC input to
the Cisco RPS is fully redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.

Fully Redundant Configuration
The Cisco RPS can provide a fully redundant power source for two pieces of equipment.
Youcan useatwo-to-onecable to connect two external devicesto thefourDC output power
modules, as shown in Figure 1-4. The two-to-one cable is a Y-shaped cable with two
connectors at one end and one connector at the other end.
In this configuration, the connectors at one end of the Y-shaped cable connect two
Cisco RPS DC output power modules to one external device. The power source is fully
redundant because there are two AC input modules and two DC output power modules
connected to each external device. If any power module fails, there is a full backup.

Redundant With Reboot
Redundant With Reboot
By using a second mode of redundant operation called redundant with reboot, you can
connect more hubs and switches to the Cisco RPS and thereby extend its capacity. This
configuration also provides switches and hubs (except the HP 10BaseT Hub-16M) with
additional redundancy.
Redundancy with reboot works for the following devices only: FastHub 100 series,
FastHub 200 series, or FastHub 300 series 100BaseT hubs, Catalyst 1900 series,
Catalyst 2820 series switches, and the Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.
Note Cisco recommends that you use configurations without the AC power plug (that is,
not in redundant-with-reboot mode) connected to the external device, due to the reboot and
downtime—approximately 30 seconds.
The redundant-with-reboot configuration is shown in Figure 1-5, where a straight-through
one-to-onecableconnectsanexternaldevice (the figure shows switches, butthey could also
be hubs) to the Cisco RPS while the device is simultaneously powered by its own internal
power supply (the device AC power plug is connected).

In this configuration, one Cisco RPS can support four devices instead of two. Despite
30 seconds of downtime that occur when using redundancy with reboot, this configuration
provides additional redundancy and extends the capacity of the Cisco RPS.
In this way, the Cisco RPS and external device internal power supply can be connected
simultaneously. A sense circuit in the Cisco RPS reads that the device has its AC power
connected and shuts the Cisco RPS output off. In this way competition between the power
supplies is prevented.
Normally,the external device internal power supply always provides power. If the internal
power system of the external device fails, the device powers down briefly until the
Cisco RPS begins supplying power. When the device comes back up, the Cisco RPS is the
main power source.

rps1 Page 8 Monday, September 14, 1998 8:17 AM
Redundant With Reboot
If the Cisco RPS fails or is disconnected, the external device will not power cycle because
its internal power supply has not been disturbed. When both the Cisco RPS and internal
power supply are powered, the LED on the Cisco RPS front panel and the RPS LED on the
external device both blink green.
If you cannot afford the 30-second interruption, unplug the external device AC power cord
and use only the Cisco RPS with the Y-cable. There is no downtime when using the
Cisco RPS with the Y-cable.

Setting the Cisco RPS on a Desktop
Use the procedure in this section that best meets your needs:
• Setting the Cisco RPS on a Desktop
• Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
Setting the Cisco RPS on a Desktop
The location of the Cisco RPS is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment
placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause
malfunctions and shutdowns and can make maintenance difficult. The following
information will help you to plan the location of the chassis.
• Plan for access to both the front and rear panels of the Cisco RPS.
• Make sure that the room where the Cisco RPS operates has adequate ventilation.
Remember that electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not
cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate ventilation.
(See Table 1-2.)
2-2
Warning Donot stack the chassis on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can cause
severe bodily injury and equipment damage.
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access
area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special
tool, lock and key, or other means of security,and is controlled by the authority responsible
for the location.
Follow these steps to install your chassis on a desktop:
Step 1 Unpack the Cisco RPS.
Step 2 Attach the rubber feet included in the accessory kit in the round recesses on the
bottom of the chassis.
Step 3 Set Cisco RPS chassis on an appropriate desktop.

Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
This sections explains how to rack-mount the Cisco RPS in 19-, 23-, 24-inch, or telco
equipment racks. Read the following information before rack-mounting your chassis.
Planning Your Rack-Mount Installation
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
— This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only
unit in the rack.
— When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from
the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the
rack.
— If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers
before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
The following information will help you plan your equipment rack installation:
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Make sure that the rack is not congested
because each unit generates heat. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the
rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above. An enclosed
rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block
the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the
chassis when it is seated in the rack.
Installing the Cisco RPS 2-3
rps2 Page 4 Monday, September 14, 1998 8:17 AM
Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
• Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air
through the chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in
the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different configurations.
• When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails,try operating
the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack and in
adjacent racks to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
• Installthe Cisco RPS and the external deviceto which it willconnect inadjacent shelves
in a rack.
Tools and Equipment Required
You need the following tools and equipment to rack-mount the Cisco RPS:
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• Screws for attaching the Cisco RPS to the rack (not included)

CHAPTER
3
Connecting to External Devices
This section describes how to connect the Cisco RPS to external devices. The Cisco RPS
includes two fully redundant AC input power modules and four DC output power modules
for connection to external devices. The Cisco RPS supports quasi-redundant, fully
redundant, and redundant-with-reboot configurations. For an explanation of power source
configurations, refer to Chapter 1, “Overview of the Cisco RPS.”
Caution The Cisco RPS AC input power modules are power-factor-corrected to comply
with certain International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. Do not connect
the Cisco RPS to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that has not been tested and
designed for power-factor-corrected power systems. Do not connect the Cisco RPS to a
ferro-resonant transformer. If you do either of these things, you could damage the
Cisco RPS.
Tools and Equipment Required
You may need the following tools and equipment:
• Y-cable—Needed for fully redundant power configurations.
• Upgrade kit—Needed for routers that originally came with AC or DC power supplies
(Cisco 2500, 2600, 3600, 4000 series routers or the Cisco MC3810 multiservice
concentrator).

Cables
The Cisco RPS ships in either of the following configurations:
• With four cables of one-to-one configuration (22-pin to 18-pin) for quasi-redundant
powering of up to four external devices (Cisco RPS number PWR600-AC-RPS-CAB).
• Without cables (Cisco RPS number PWR600-AC-RPS-NCAB) for fully redundant
poweringof up to two external devices. If you want a fully redundant powersource, you
will need to order Y-shaped two-to-one cables separately.
Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 show the cables you can order, and Table 3-1 lists the
corresponding product order numbers. For ordering information, Contact Cisco Customer
Service at 800 553-6387 or 408 526-7209. See also the section “Cisco Connection Online,”

To operate an external device with the Cisco RPS, the device must have an RPS connector.
Cisco 2500, 2600, 3600 and 4000 series routers and the Cisco MC3810 multiservice
concentrator do not automatically ship with an RPS connector.
Note The FastHub 100 series, FastHub 200 series, and FastHub 300 series 100BaseT
hubs, HP 10BaseT Hub-16M, Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 series switches, and
Catalyst 2900 series XL switches come with an RPS connector and do not require a power
adapter plate.
If you did not specify that you wanted the RPS connector installed on your router or
concentrator when you ordered it, you must order a power adapter plate that provides this
compatibility with the Cisco RPS and install the plate in place of your existing power
supply.
If you need to order a power adapter plate for your router or concentrator, see Table 3-2,
which lists adapter plates and corresponding product order numbers. Contact
Cisco Customer Service at 800 553-6387 or 408 526-7209 for ordering information. (See

Connecting External Devices to the Cisco RPS
Note If you want to connect an additional external device to a Cisco RPS that is already
powered up, you can do so without interrupting power to the Cisco RPS or any other
externaldevicesthat are already connected. Be sure to connect your cable to the Cisco RPS
first and then to the external device.
Warning Use the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) only to power the external
device.
Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS receptacle.
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. Toensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on
the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position,
and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Troubleshooting the Cisco RPS
The key to troubleshooting is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem. Start by
reading the LEDs on the front panel of the Cisco RPS and any error messages displayed on
the external device console. If you are unable to resolve the problem, refer to the section
“Cisco Connection Online” in the “About This Guide” preface.
Reading the LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel of the Cisco RPS display the current operating condition of
the Cisco RPS:
• Two AC STATUS LEDs—Left side of the front panel.
• Four DC STATUS LEDs—Center of the front panel.
APPENDIX
B
• Two LEDs, FAN and TEMP—Right side of the front panel.
When the Cisco RPS is working properly, all LEDs on its front panel are solid green.
Note Some external devices also include LEDs that show the operating condition of the
Cisco RPS. Refer to the installation guide that accompanied the device for detailed
information about the LEDs.
Figure B-1 shows the LEDs on the front panel of the Cisco RPS, and Table B-1 explains
the meaning of the colors.
