About the Advanced RPS
The SuperStack 3 Advanced RPS offers you the ability to supply
power to your SuperStack network devices in the event of a failure of
an internal power supply. Alternatively, some SuperStack 3 units can
use the Advanced RPS as their default power supply, and if this fails
they revert to their internal power supply. Check the Getting Started
Guide that accompanies your Switch for more information.'
The Advanced RPS chassis, in combination with a range of power
modules and an optional management module allows you to choose
the most suitable redundant power solution for your SuperStack
network devices. The Advanced RPS can supply power for up to eight
SuperStack networking units (subject to the loading limitations
detailed in Appendix C).
