Installing the 08A-RPS-500 on a Flat Surface
When installing the 08A-RPS-500 on a flat surface, the installation of the rubber feet is
recommended to prevent the 08A-RPS-500 from sliding on a flat surface.
To install the rubber feet:
1. Place the 08A-RPS-500 on its back on a sturdy flat surface to gain access to the bottom of the
unit.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their plastic bag in the shipping box.
3. Locate the four marked locations on the bottom four corners of the 08A-RPS-500.
4. Remove the protective strip from the back of one rubber foot and position it on a marked
location and press firmly into place. Repeat this procedure to install the remaining three
rubber feet.
5. After installing the rubber feet, return the 08A-RPS-500 to its upright position.
Connecting the RPS Cable and AC Power Cord
The 08A-RPS-500 is connected to the 800-Series PoE+ switch using the 1 meter RPS cable, as
follows:
1. Turn off the 800-Series switch and unplug it from the power source before installing the
08A-RPS-500.
The 800-Series switch does not support hot insertion/removal of an RPS cable. If you hot insert
an RPS cable into a running 800-Series switch, the 800-Series switch will not recognize that an
RPS cable is installed and the 800-Series switch will lose power if the primary power supply
fails.
2. Connect one end of the RPS cable to the redundant power supply connector on the 800-Series
switch. Then connect the other end to the redundant power supply connector at the rear of the
08A-RPS-500 as shown in
3. Connect a standard AC power cord to the AC input power connector on the 08A-RPS-500,
then plug the AC power cord into the main AC power outlet as shown in
The AC power LED on the front of the 08A-RPS-500 will turn green to indicate a successful
connection and the 08A-RPS-500 is operating properly.
4. Reconnect the 800-Series switch to the AC power source.
5. Turn on the 800-Series switch.
