Console Port

The RPS is a 300W redundant power system that can support six external network
devices and provides power to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses
when the power supply of a connected device fails and provides the necessary
power to the failed device to prevent loss of network traffic. When the device
internal power supply has been brought up or replaced, the RPS automatically
stops powering the device.
Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the RPS 300
receptacle.
The RPS can only power one switch at a time. If more than one switch fails at the
same time, any subsequent switch is not supported by the RPS until the first
switch failure is resolved.
For more information on the Cisco RPS 300, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power
System 300 Hardware Installation Guide.
You can connect a switch to a PC through the switch console port and by using
the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter. You need to provide a
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect the switch console port to a
terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that
adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the
