RPS unit only works in the monitoring mode, without feeding power to the powered device. The output of the RPS800-A is controlled by a control pin. When the powered device’s own power supply system becomes fails, a LOW signal is sent to the control pin of the RPS unit.
Note: For some models of powered devices, the control pin of the RPS800-A can be controlled through a special cable to support hot backup of power supply. Namely, when the power supply systems of the powered devices operate normally, the RPS unit also provides part of the power feed to the devices;...

RPS unit to the rack; they cannot bear the weight of the RPS unit. When installing the RPS800-A to a 19-inch rack, be sure to use a tray or bracket to support the weight of the unit. Step 1: Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and check the grounding and stableness of the rack.
Step 4: Place the RPS unit horizontally on the supporting tray, gently push the unit into the rack along the supporting tray, and fix the mounting ears to the front square-holed brackets of the rack with screws and cage nuts, as shown in Figure 4 . Front square-holed bracket Front mounting ear...
3.3 Connecting the RPS Unit to the Powered Device The RPS800-A can be used as a redundant backup power supply unit for multiple switch and router models. The following describes how to connect the RPS unit to a switch.
