RPS LED
The RPS LED shows the RPS status. Table 1-3 lists the LED colors and their meanings.
Note The Catalyst 2960 8-port switches, and the Catalyst 2960-24-S, 2960-Plus 24TC-S, 2960-24TC-S,
2960-Plus 48TC-S, 2960-48TC-S, and 2960-48TT-S switches do not have an RPS LED.
For more information about the Cisco RPS 2300 or the Cisco RPS 675, see the related hardware

Color RPS Status
Off RPS is off or not properly connected.
Green RPS is connected and ready to provide back-up power, if required.
Blinking green RPS is connected but is unavailable because it is providing power to another device
(redundancy has been allocated to a neighboring device).
Amber The RPS is in standby mode or in a fault condition. Press the Standby/Active button
on the RPS, and the LED should turn green. If it does not, the RPS fan could have
failed. Contact Cisco Systems.
Blinking amber The internal power supply in a switch has failed, and the RPS is providing power
to the switch (redundancy has been allocated to this device).
