2 Product Overview 2.1 Introduction The RPS1000-A3 is an external power supply unit that uses AC inputs and provides eight lines of DC output, with a maximum output power of 2900 W. It can provide DC power supply simultaneously for multiple powered devices (such as switches and routers).
Note: The RPS1000-A3 supports hot backup of power supply. Namely, when the power supply system of the powered device operates normally, the RPS1000-A3 also provides part of the power supply to the device; when the power supply system of the powered device fails, the RPS1000-A3 becomes an independent power supply system.

Caution: When the alarm LED lights up, check for AC mains failure, output over-voltage condition, input over-voltage condition, input under-voltage condition, output over-current condition or high-temperature condition. For more information, refer to Table 3 on page 6. 2.6 Output Specifications 2.6.1 Output Power Distribution Table 5 Output power distribution Max.
Caution: The RPS1000-A3 can provide power supply to multiple devices at the same time. Use one or two power modules depending on the power consumption of the powered devices. Make sure that: The system power consumption of each powered device does not exceed the maximum output power of the corresponding DC output;...
An A-direction plug connects with the DC power supply receptacle of a powered device, while a B-direction plug connects with a DC output of the RPS1000-A3. A JD5-A and a JD5 look alike except that a JD5 is a little bigger.

Step 2: Fix the supporting tray supplied with the rack horizontally at the appropriate position of the rack. Step 3: Take out the supplied front ear screws and attach the front ears to the front end of the RPS unit using the screws, as shown in Figure 4 on page Figure 8 Install the RPS unit to the rack using front mounting ears and a supporting tray Step 4: Place the RPS unit horizontally on the...
3.2.2 Installing the RPS Unit on a Tabletop If a 19-inch standard rack is not available, you can place the RPS unit directly on a clean, stable tabletop. Follow these steps to install the RPS unit on a tabletop: Step 1: Cautiously turn the RPS unit upside down. Then, use a piece of dry, soft cloth to remove any oil stain or dust from the dents on the bottom of the chassis.

For pulling out the power module. With both handles released, you can use them to pull the power module part way out to detach it from the power module connector. Each handle has a locking mechanism that locks the handle in its slots. To release a handle, you need to insert a screwdriver (supplied with the RPS unit) into the hole at the corresponding upper corner of the front panel.
Caution: Never move the power module by its handles. When releasing the handles, do not use excessive force. When inserting the power module into the RPS chassis, make sure that the handles are unlocked. Upon inserting the power module into the chassis, push the handles into their slots to secure the power module in place.

Step 2: With both hands holding the handles, gently pull the power module part way out so that it is detached from the connector, as shown in Figure 10 . Step 3: With one hand supporting the bottom and the other hand holding the power module, gently pull it out of the chassis.
3.4 Connecting the RPS Unit to the Powered Devices 3.4.1 Connecting the cables Follow these steps to connect the RPS unit to a powered device: Step 1: Check that the power source to the RPS unit is disconnected and the powered device is powered off.
Caution: Check that the AC input cable and the DC output cable are firmly connected to eliminate poor or loose contact. 3.4.2 Commissioning the RPS Unit Before powering on the RPS unit, check the AC input with a multimeter set to the resistance measurement function to eliminate any short circuit.
