Redundant Power Supply Unit (RPSU) Connector
The RPSU connector allows you to connect a backup power supply unit to the 
switch. Nortel Networks provides an (optional) high-power redundant power 
supply unit (HRPSU) for this purpose. The HRPSU is a hot-swappable power 
supply unit that provides uninterrupted operation to up to four BayStack 450 
switches in the event that any of the switch power supplies fail.
Nortel Networks provides the HRPSU power rack (Order No. AA0002001) with 
four slots for power supply modules (Order No. AA0005003). Each HRPSU can 
support up to four BayStack 450 switches. Installation instructions are provided 
with the HRPSU (refer to Installing and Maintaining the HRPSU (Part number 
114312-D).
Contact your Nortel Networks sales representative for more information about the 
HRPSU.
Cascade Module Slot
The Cascade Module slot allows you to attach an optional BayStack 400-ST1 
Cascade Module to the switch (see “Stack Operation” on page 1-39).
You can connect up to eight BayStack 450 switches to form a redundant stack 
configuration. BayStack 450 switches use a fail-safe cascade stacking architecture 
which, in the unlikely event of a switch failure, maintains the integrity of the 
remaining stack: all signals are looped back at the point of failure. Because each 
unit in the stack has a full copy of the stack configuration, operation of the stack 
continues without affecting application connectivity.
Any mix of up to eight BayStack 450 switches, BayStack 410-24T switches, and 
the Business Policy Switch 2000 can be stacked to provide a total of 224 ports 
when all MDA slots are configured with the maximum port availability (certain 
restrictions apply, see “Stack Operation on page 1-39). 
Installation instructions are provided with each BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade 
Module (see Installing the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module).
See your Nortel Networks sales representative for ordering information.
