CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THE REDUNDANT POWER UNIT Overview This Redundant Power Unit (SMCRPU14) can supply 600 Watts of backup power to four switches in the event of an AC loss or failure of an internal power supply. Features and Benefits • Supports four switch units with 12 VDC supply of up to 150 W. • Indicator LEDs located on the front panel. • RPU AC line cord can draw power from a different supply circuit. • DC line cords provide backup power to attached devices.
• Short-circuit protection prevents the RPU from being damaged from a short circuit on any output channel. • The RPU will operate under a no-load condition. Front and Rear Panels Four status indicators Link, Activity, Fan, Thermal, and Power indicators are located on the RPU’s front panel. While the AC supply and DC backup receptacles are located on the RPU’s rear panel.
Table 1-1 Port Status LEDs LED (1-4) Condition Status Link Off The port does not have a valid connection to a switch. On Yellow The port has a valid connection to a switch. Flashing Yellow There has been an RPU internal power failure. Off The port is not providing power to the connected switch. Flashing Green The port has been shut down due to one of the following conditions: Activity The unit has detected an over-current condition. One or more of the unit’s fans have failed.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE REDUNDANT POWER UNIT Installation The RPU may be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack. Caution: DO NOT place the RPU on the floor as the case is not waterproof. It is recommended that this RPU be installed in a network equipment rack. Selecting a Site RPU units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
- Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.56 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Equipment Checklist After unpacking the RPU, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Mounting RPU units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the unit, pay particular attention to the following factors: • Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.
To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 2-1 Attaching the Brackets Li nk Ac tiv ity Fa n Th er m al Po we r 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 2-2 Installing the RPU in a Rack Li nk Ac tiv ity Fa n Th er m al Po w er 3. If also installing RPUs, mount them in the rack below the other devices.
Montage (Rack Mounting - German) SMCRPU14 RPU-Einheiten können an ein standardmäßiges 19-Zoll Einrichtungsrack, einen Arbeitstisch oder ein Regal montiert werden. Folgend finden Sie die Montageanweisungen für jeden Positionstyp.
Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first RPU unit. Figure 2-3 Attaching the Adhesive Feet 10 0-2 40 V, 50 -60 Hz 10 A 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least five centimeters or two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. Connecting Switches to the RPU Caution: DO NOT connect the RPU to an AC power source until DC power cords have been connected to the supported switches.
Figure 2-4 Power Receptacle 100-240V, 50-60Hz 10A 2. Connect one end of a DC cord to the redundant power receptacle on the supported switch and the other end to an available receptacle on the RPU. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting up to four supported switches to the RPU. 4. Connect one end of the AC cord to the AC receptacle on the RPU, and the other end to a grounded power outlet. 5. Check the LEDs on the RPU to ensure proper operation. The Link LEDs for connected switches should light up.

You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing RPU Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Internal power supply is disconnected. • Check connections between the RPU, the power cord, and the wall outlet. • Contact Technical Support. Link LED is Off • The port does not have a valid connection to a switch. • Check connections between the RPU and the switch. • Check that power is being supplied to the RPU.
Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Fan LED is Off • The unit is powered off. Thermal LED is Flashing Yellow • Indicates a high temperature that is approaching an over-temperature condition. • Check that the unit's cooling fans are operating normally. • Power off the RPU unit and allow to cool. • If the condition persists, contact Technical Support.
