Installing and Connecting a Redundant Power System
2-10 Installation
If the switch is a standalone switch, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to
start up. If the switch is a stack manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to initialize all the
switches in the stack, depending on the number of member switches in the stack.
Installing and Connecting a Redundant Power System
You can use the STK-RPS-150PS, a 150W redundant power supply for non-PoE A4 models, or the
STK-RPS-500PS, a 500W redundant power supply for PoE A4 models.
• See “STK-RPS-150PS” on page 2-10 for installation of the STK-RPS-150PS.
• See “STK-RPS-500PS” on page 2-17 for installation of the STK-RPS-500PS.
STK-RPS-150PS
The STK-RPS-150PS can be used as a standalone unit, or you can install an STK-RPS-150PS in the
following RPS shelves:
• STK-RPS-150CH2, a two-slot chassis
• STK-RPS-150CH8, an eight-slot chassis
If you are installing the STK-RPS-150PS as a standalone unit, refer to “Connecting the RPS Cable
and AC Power Cord” on page 2-15.
To install an STK-RPS-150PS in an RPS shelf, refer to “Installing an STK-RPS-150PS Into a Shelf”
on page 2-11.
Required Tools
A flat-blade screwdriver is required to install the STK-RPS-150CH2 or STK-RPS-150CH8 shelf and
STK-RPS-150PS power supplies.
Unpacking the Shelf and Power Supply
The shelf and the power supply are shipped separately. To unpack these devices proceed as
follows:
1. Open the box and remove the packing material protecting the shelf or power supply.
2. Verify the contents of each carton and compare the contents shipped with those listed in
Table 2-1, Table 2-2, and Table 2-3.
3. Perform a visual inspection of the components for any signs of physical damage. Contact
Enterasys Networks if there are any signs of damage. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xvii for
details.
Note: The STK-RPS-150PS is a replacement for the C2RPS-PSM. If you already have a
C2RPS-PSM power supply, it can be used in place of the STK-RPS-150PS.
Note: The STK-RPS-150PS can also be installed in the old two-slot and eight-slot chassis,
C2RPS-CHAS2 and C2RPS-CHAS8.
