PD works properly, both the RPS1600-A and the PD’s power supply can supply power to implement load sharing; when the power supply of the PD fails, only the RPS1600-A works to ensure uninterrupted operation of the PD.
NOTE: As optional parts for the RPS1600-A, different types DC output cables are available depending on the requirement of the powered device. For details about the DC output cables, please consult H3C marketing or customer service staff. Front panel The RPS1600-A has two power module slots, allowing two power modules to work in parallel, one of which is provided by default and the other is optional.

Table 2 Protection features of the RPS1600-A Item Description When the input voltage exceeds 295 ± 5 VAC, the unit executes an over-voltage protection shutdown and displays an alarm through the Input alarm LED. over-voltage protection When the input voltage comes down to 275 ± 5 VAC, the unit automatically recovers and clears the alarm.
Item Description A protection action of one output does not affect any other. Per-output • For a 25-A output, press the reset button to over-current protection and clear the condition; short-circuit • For an 8-A output, check the corresponding protection fuse, and replace the fuse if it was blown to clear the condition.
