NETGEAR Managed Switch
Connect to Power and Check the LEDs
The RPS does not have an on/off switch. Apply or remove power by connecting or
disconnecting the RPS power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet
that is not controlled by a wall switch. A wall switch can turn off power to the RPS.
 After you select an appropriate outlet, follow these steps to apply AC power:
1. Connect one end of the AC power adapter cable to the rear of the RPS, and the other
end to a grounded three-prong AC outlet.
2. Check the Power LED on the front panel of the RPS. The LED should light up in the
following sequence:
• The LED turns yellow as the RPS runs a power-on self-test (POST).
• If the RPS passes the test, the LED turns green. The RPS is working and ready to
pass data.
• If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.
If the Power LED does not light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and
that the power source is good. For help with troubleshooting, see
Chapter 3,
Troubleshooting.

3. Connect the other end of the NETGEAR RPS cable to the RPS4000 rear panel RPS port
connector.
4. Apply power to the RPS4000 by connecting the power cord to the RPS4000 power connect
in the front panel and to an AC powered outlet.
5. Apply power to the power module by connecting the power cord to the module power
connect in the front panel and to an AC powered outlet.
