D-Link DGS-3630-28PC [4/25] Installing the redundant power supply rps

Figure 4 — Inserting transceivers into the transceiver ports

Power On (AC Power)

Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch and the other end

into the local power source outlet. After the system is powered on, the LED will blink green

to indicate that the system is booting up.

Power Failure (AC Power)

In the event of a power failure, just as a precaution, unplug the power cord from the

Switch. After the power returns, plug the power cord back into the power socket of the

Switch.

Installing the Redundant Power Supply (RPS)

The Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is designed to conform to the wattage requirements

of D-Link’s Ethernet and Gigabit switches. It is an external RPS unit enclosed in solid

metal case with sockets to connect AC or DC power sources on one end, and to connect

to a switch’s internal power supply on the other end. The RPS provides a low-cost, simple

solution to the problem of an inadvertent failure of the internal power supply of an Ethernet

switch, which can result in the shutdown of that switch, the devices attached to its ports, or

an entire network.

CAUTION: Do not connect the RPS to AC power before the DC power cable is

connected. This might damage the internal power supply.

CAUTION: Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space at the rear of the Switch when

an RPS is installed to prevent cable damage.
