Unpack the Box
Remove the packing material. Break the tape seal on the
non-conductive bag and remove the power supply.
Using the Long Mounting Brackets
1 Use screws (provided) to attach a long bracket to one side of the
power supply. Use the holes closest to the rear of the power supply.
2 Attach the other bracket to the other side of the power supply.
Figure 1 Attaching Long Brackets to the Power Supply
3 Align the holes at the end of each bracket with the rack post holes.
4 Secure the power supply to the rack with rack-mounting screws.
5 Attach power cables from the power supply to the V400 Virtual Port
Extender and to the external power source, as described in “Connect
Power”.
Using the 3-Slot Modular Shelf
1 Attach mounting brackets to the shelf, following the instructions
included in the shelf packaging.
2 Attach the shelf to the rack.

Install the Power Supply
You can install the VX-RPS-1000 redundant power supply
in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Use the long
mounting brackets provided with the power supply, or use
the 3-Slot Modular Shelf (part no. 18201).
Connecting the Power Supply to the Port Extender
To attach the VX-RPS-1000 redundant power supply to your V400
Virtual Port Extender, connect a power cable (included with the power
supply) to the output socket on the power supply and the RPS input
connector on the rear of the V400 unit.
Connecting the Power Supply to the Power Source
To attach the VX-RPS-1000 redundant power supply to external power,
connect an AC power cord (not included) to the AC power input socket
on the power supply and to an AC power outlet.
When power is connected, verify that the power supply’s DC OK LED
turns green. Verify that the port extender’s PWR LED turns green.
Safety Notices

Connect Power
The VX-RPS-1000 redundant power supply is designed to
provide power to the V400 Virtual Port Extender (PoE
models).
Note: Installing the system as described in this guide meets the
protective earth grounding requirements of the National Electrical
Code (NEC), UL/CSA/IEC/EN 60950-1 standards. However, in some
cases, it may be necessary to use an alternative grounding method.
In these cases, a 14 AWG wire can be connected between the
grounding lug on the chassis and a nearby building ground point.
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Risques d’électrocution: Seul un personnel qualifié doit effectuer
les procédures d'installation.
Warning: Extreme Networks power supplies do not have switches for turning
the unit on and off. Before servicing, disconnect all power cords to remove
power from the device. Make sure that these connections are easily accessible.
Avertissement: Extreme Networks alimentations ne sont pas des interrupteurs
pour allumer l'appareil et en dehors. Avant l'entretien, débranchez tous les
cordons d'alimentation pour couper l'alimentation de l'appareil. Assurez-vous
que ces connexions sont facilement accessibles.
Warning: A dedicated Listed circuit breaker rated at 15A is to be used for each
power supply connection.
Avertissement: Un disjoncteur cotée dédiée évalué à 15A doit être utilisée pour
chaque connexion d'alimentation.
Caution: Before mounting the device, ensure that the rack can support it
without compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment
damage may result.
Caution: Follow appropriate ESD procedures when unpacking and handling
the device. These include unpacking the device in an ESD-safe environment
and wearing appropriate ESD protective gear, such as ESD-safe footwear and
ESD wrist straps where appropriate.
