Applications

The RPS is appropriate for applications that customers consider

as “mission critical.” Whenever the customer’s business depends

on reliable, fail-safe network access the added reliability offered

by the RPS is attractive.

Both the resiliency of the RPS to incur a failure and continue

operating and its capability to remotely communicate current or

impending failures are particularly valuable for remote locations.

Benefits

• Increased network uptime

– With dual AC input power modules power supply meantime

between failures (MTBF) is significantly improved

(demonstrated MTBF in access of 500,000 hours)

• Flexibility and cost effectiveness

– A single RPS supports up to four external devices

– Match the level of redundancy required to the specific

application requirements

• Advanced warning of possible failure

– Front panel LEDs for AC input power, DC output power, and

cooling status

– SNMP manageable via a Cisco 3600 or 2600 Series router/

access server

Features

• Three redundant modes: quasi-redundant, fully redundant, and

fully redundant with reboot

• Support of up to four of any combination of 150-watt external

devices (hubs, switches, routers, and access servers)

• Hot insertion of external devices

• Dual AC inputs and power cords

• Two fully redundant AC input power modules

• Four DC output power modules

• Four one-to-one DC power cables (PWR600-AC-RPS-CAB)

• Front panel LEDs for AC input power, DC output power, fan,

and temperature status

• Redundant cooling fans

• Remote monitoring using SNMP via a Cisco 3600 series

• 19-inch rack-mount kit included (24-inch optional)

Configuration Information

There are two versions of the RPS, one with four one-to-one DC

power cables (PWR600-AC-RPS-CAB) and one

without (PWR600-AC-RPS-NCAB). The RPS with four DC

power cables is intended for powering up to four external devices

(hubs, switches, routers, and access servers) in quasi-redundant

mode. The RPS without DC power cables is intended for use in

fully redundant mode where either one or two two-to-one DC

power cables are ordered separately to support one or two external

devices.

The following external devices incorporate RPS support into

every chassis. In addition to having an internal AC supply every

chassis includes a connector for being powered by the RPS.

• Cisco 1516M hub (HP 10Base-T Hub 16-M)

• FastHub 400 Series 10/100 hubs

• Catalyst 1900 Series Ethernet switches

• Catalyst 2820 Series Ethernet switches

• Catalyst 2900 Series XL switches

• Catalyst 3500 Series XL switches

The following external devices must either be ordered from the

factory with the capability to be powered by the RPS or an

upgrade kit can be ordered to convert an AC or DC model in the

field to an RPS model. When the product comes from the factory

as an RPS model there is no internal AC or DC supply. When the

product is converted in the field to be powered by the RPS, the AC

or DC supply must be removed.

• Cisco 2600 Series routers

• Cisco 3620/3640 Series routers

• Cisco MC3810 Multiservice access concentrator

• Cisco 4000 Series routers

The following products are not available from the factory with

RPS support. They must be converted in the field to be powered

by the RPS. When the product is converted in the field to be

• Cisco 2500 Series routers

• Cisco 2500 Series access servers
