Power module (1–4) Solid green: An APS1000W is installed and working normally. Solid yellow: An APS1000W is installed but has failed. Off: No APS1000W is installed. RPS (slots 1–4) Solid green: The RPS4000 detects a compatible switch. Power is provided. Blinking green: The RPS4000 detects a compatible switch.
NETGEAR Managed Switch • If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your trained service provider: - The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged. - An object has fallen into the product. - The product has been exposed to water. - The product has been dropped or damaged. - The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions. • Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources.
NETGEAR Managed Switch • To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). • Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables. • Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
2. 2 Hardware Installation This chapter explains how to install the RPS. Package Contents The package contains the following items: • RPS4000 • Power cord • Rubber footpads for tabletop installation • Rack-mounting kit • Resource CD: The CD includes these documents or links to access them: - RPS4000 Installation Guide - This hardware installation guide Protecting against Electrostatic Discharge WARNING: Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system.
NETGEAR Managed Switch Unpack the Hardware Check the contents of the box to make sure that all items are present before installing the RPS: 1. Place the container on a clean flat surface and cut all straps securing the container. 2. Unpack the hardware from the box. Carefully remove the hardware and place it on a secure and clean surface. See Select a Location. 3. Remove all packing material. 4. Make sure that all items are present. See Package Contents.
NETGEAR Managed Switch The site where you install the RPS can affect its performance. Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements. Table 1. Site requirements for RPS location Requirements Mounting Desktop installations: Provide a flat table or shelf surface. Rack-mount installations: Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure.
NETGEAR Managed Switch 2. Use the provided Phillips head screws to fasten the brackets to the sides of the RPS. Mounting bracket 3. Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. 4. Align the bracket and rack holes. Use two pan-head screws with nylon washers to fasten each bracket to the rack. 5. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. 6. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the wall.
NETGEAR Managed Switch Connect to Power and Check the LEDs The RPS does not have an on/off switch. Apply or remove power by connecting or disconnecting the RPS power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. A wall switch can turn off power to the RPS. After you select an appropriate outlet, follow these steps to apply AC power: 1.
NETGEAR Managed Switch RPS4000 Modes of Operation The RPS4000 rear panel has two slide switches for each of the four RPS ports. Each slide switch has two positions, left and right. The slide switches control how the RPS4000 provides power to the client switches. RPS configuration switches Type switch: In the Old (right position), the RPS is set to back up redundant power to a switch of pre-RPS4000 design. CS switch: Enables or disables current sharing.
NETGEAR Managed Switch Use the Type and CS slide switches to configure operating modes for the RPS4000.
NETGEAR Managed Switch • AC in = 100V~120V: Maximum power, 1500W (system + PoE power) • AC in = 200V~240V: Maximum power, 1860W (system + PoE power) Note: RPS4000 PoE power replaces the switch’s internal power supply to become the main power supply, and the switch’s internal power supply becomes a standby when the RPS4000 is connected to the switch in this mode.
NETGEAR Managed Switch Standby mode The settings of the four sets of Type and Current Sharing switches are not the same. In this mode, the RPS4000 delivers system power to a connected switch is as follows: • System power (12V): maximum provided 200W. • PoE power (56 VDC): Off. Applicable switches: All non-PoE switches that accept RPS power.
3. 3 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems. Table 1. Troubleshooting chart Problem Cause Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. Check the power cord connections for the switch at the switch and the connected device. Make sure that all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. RPS port LED is off or incorrect. Incorrect switch selections. Check the operating mode and CS switch selection.
