CHA P T E R 1 Overview The Cisco 600W Redundant Power System (RPS) provides power system redundancy to external devices such as routers, switches, and 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, or redundant-with-reboot configurations, depending upon the external device.
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations • LEDs for AC, DC, fans, and temperature status • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support of error messages for Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3620/3640 series routers.
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations .
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations Quasi-Redundant Configuration The Cisco RPS provides a quasi-redundant power source for four external devices that use up to 150W DC each. This configuration is allowed for all supported devices. You can use a one-to-one cable (one connector at each cable end) to connect four external devices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations Fully Redundant Configuration The Cisco RPS can provide a fully redundant power source for two of the supported routers or concentrators. You can use a two-to-one cable (ordered separately) to connect two external devices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-2. The two-to-one cable is a Y-shaped cable with two connectors at one end and one connector at the other end.
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations Redundant with Reboot By using a mode of operation called redundant with reboot, you can connect more hubs and switches to the Cisco RPS and thereby extend its capacity or provide additional redundancy. Redundancy with reboot works for the following devices only: FastHub 400 series hubs, Catalyst 1900 series and Catalyst 2820 switches, and Catalyst 2900 series and Catalyst 3500 series XL switches.
Chapter 1 Overview Supported Devices and Configurations Note If you use this configuration, always power up the external device before powering up the Cisco RPS to ensure correct operation. If the Cisco RPS powers up first, the LEDs might not indicate the actual state. After power up, a sense circuit in the Cisco RPS reads that the device has its AC power connected and shuts the Cisco RPS output off, preventing competition between the power supplies.

Figure 1-5 shows the front panel of the Cisco RPS.
Chapter 1 Overview Front and Rear Panel Descriptions The Cisco RPS rear panel has two AC power connectors, each with an on/off switch, and four DC connectors for connecting to devices. Figure 1-6 shows the rear panel. See Chapter 3, “Connection Requirements,” for information about required cables and connectors.

CHA P T E R 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS This chapter provides instructions on connecting your external device to the Cisco RPS. The chapter is divided into the following major sections: • Power Considerations, page 4-1 • Connecting Hubs, page 4-3 • Connecting Switches, page 4-7 • Connecting Routers and the Cisco MC3810 Concentrator, page 4-13 Power Considerations Before connecting to external devices, read the power warnings below. We recommend that you disconnect all power before beginning.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS Power Considerations Note A catalyst switch might reload when changing from RPS power to internal power. This can occur on any catalyst switch, except the 3560-E or 3750-E switch, connected to one of the following: Redundant, Power Supplies, PWR 300-AC-RPS-NI, PWR-600-AC-RPS-NI, and RPS2300. To prevent unscheduled downtime, the switch should be powered off during a maintenance window. Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS receptacle.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS Connecting Hubs Connecting Hubs This section provides illustrations and cabling information for connecting the Cisco RPS to the following hubs: Note • Cisco 1516M hub (HP 10BASE-T Hub-16M) (Figure 4-1) • FastHub 400 series hubs (Figure 4-2) The Cisco RPS can also be used with the older FastHub 100, 200, and 300 series hubs. All hubs can use the one-to-one cable configuration for quasi-redundancy.

(See Figure 4-25.
CHA P T E R 5 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 “Getting Technical Support” section on page 5-14.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Cisco RPS Reading the LEDs Note Some external devices also have 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. Table 5-1 lists symptoms indicating a problem, along with possible causes and suggested corrective actions.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Cisco RPS Reading the LEDs Table 5-1 Symptoms and Recommended Responses Symptom Description of Error Corrective Action DC LED 1, 2, 3, or 4 is amber. The cable connected to an internal DC output module is loose, or the internal DC output module has failed. The DC status LED numbers correspond to the DC output connectors on the Cisco RPS rear panel. Check the LEDs to determine which connector is affected.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Cisco RPS Reading the LEDs Table 5-1 Symptoms and Recommended Responses (continued) Symptom Description of Error Corrective Action AC 1 or 2 LED is amber or off. One of the following has occurred: Look at the AC LEDs to determine which AC module is reporting the error. • • Power has been turned off to one of the wall outlets into which the specific Cisco RPS AC power cord is plugged.
