Power Connectors • Customers can provide power to a switch by using either the internal power supply or the
Cisco RPS 675. The connectors are located at the back of the switch.
Internal Power
Supply Connector
• The internal power supply is an autoranging unit.
• The internal power supply supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC.
• Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power
outlet.
Cisco RPS 675
Connector
• Offers connection for an optional Cisco RPS 675 that uses AC input and supplies DC
output to the switch.
• Offers a 675W RPS that supports up to 6 external network devices and provides power
to 1 failed device at a time.
• Automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected device fails and
provides power to the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic.
• Only the Cisco RPS 675 (model PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=) should be attached to the RPS
receptacle.
Indicators • Per-port status LEDs: link integrity, disabled, activity, speed, and full-duplex indications
• System-status LEDs: system, RPS, and bandwidth-utilization indications
