Rear Panel Description
Cisco RPS
Depending on the switch model, you can connect the switch to either of these Cisco redundant power
systems (RPS) to provide backup power if the switch power supply fails:
•
“Cisco RPS 2300” section on page 1-19
•
“Cisco RPS 675” section on page 1-19
Connect the switch and the Cisco RPS to the same AC power source. Use the RPS connector cable
supplied with the RPS to connect the RPS to the switch.
Note
When an RPS is connected to the Catalyst 3560V2-24TS-SD switch, the switch is not Network
Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) compliant.
Note
The Catalyst 3560-8PC and Catalyst 3560-12PC-S switches do not have an RPS connector.
For complete information about the Cisco RPS products, including compatibility matrixes listing the
supported RPS for each Catalyst 3560 switch, see the RPS documents on Cisco.com:
Cisco RPS 2300
The Cisco RPS 2300 is a redundant power system that supports six network switches and provides power
to one or two failed switches at a time. It automatically senses when the internal power supply of a
connected switch fails and provides power to the failed switch, preventing loss of network traffic.
The Cisco RPS 2300 has two output levels: -52 V and 12 V. The maximum output power depends on the
installed power-supply modules.
Cisco RPS 675
The Cisco 675 RPS is a redundant power system that supports six network devices and provides power
to one failed switch at a time. It automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected
switch fails and provides power to the failed switch, preventing loss of network traffic.
The Cisco RPS 675 has two output levels: –48 V and 12 V. The maximum output power is 675 W.
Console Port
You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female
cable. If you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal, you need to provide an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing
that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the
Specifications” section on page B-1
