RPS Ports on the HP 600 RPS/EPS

TheHP 600 RPS/EPS has six RPS ports. You can connect up to six HP

networking switches, but backup power can be supplied to only one switch

based on port priority. Port 1 has the highest priority and port 6 the lowest. A

switch connected to port 1 always receives power before a switch connected

to any other port. Likewise, a switch connected to port 2 receives power before

switches that are connected to ports 3 through 6. A switch connected to port

3 receives power before a switch that is connected to ports 4 to 6, and so on

down to port 6, which only receives power when no other port is receiving

power.

EPS Ports on the 600 RPS/EPS

The HP 600 RPS/EPS has two EPS ports. You can connect one or two HP PoE

switches to provide PoE power as a primary or backup source. Power is

equally shared between the two EPS ports (204 W each) if both ports are used.

If only a single port is used, that port supplies the maximum available power

(408 W).

Port Status LEDs

The RPS and EPS port status LEDs on the HP 600 RPS/EPS back panel are a

duplication of those on the front panel. For a description of these LEDs, see

Table on page 1-2.

Power Connector

The 600 RPS/EPS does not have a power switch; it is powered on when

connected to an active AC power source. The 600 RPS/EPS automatically

adjusts to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are

no voltage range settings required.

Caution Use only the AC power cord that is supplied with the 600 RPS/EPS.
