If the LEDs do not light properly, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
•
Check the AC power cord connection at the AC power source and make sure the power source is
within specification.
•
Check the AC power connection to the power supply.

Installing a VX-RPS-1000 Redundant Power Supply
The VX-RPS-1000 redundant supply (Part no. 18202) is designed as a backup power source for the
V400 Virtual Port Extender.
You can install the VX-RPS-1000 in a 19-inch rack in either of two ways:
•

Installing a Single VX-RPS-1000 Power Supply in a Rack

•
Installing up to Three VX-RPS-1000 Power Supplies on a Shelf
Caution
Observe all ESD precautions when handling sensitive electronic equipment.
Locate each VX-RPS-1000 unit within 6 ft (1.8 m) of its power source.
Only qualified personnel should install redundant power supply (RPS) units.
Installing a Single VX-RPS-1000 Power Supply in a Rack
To install the VX-RPS-1000 power supply in a 19-inch rack, you need four customer-supplied screws to
attach the power supply to a standard 19-inch rack.
Caution
Observe all ESD precautions when handling sensitive electronic equipment.
Caution
Before rack-mounting the device, ensure that the rack can support it without compromising
stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage can result.
To install a single VX-RPS-1000 power supply in a rack, follow these steps.
1. Use screws (provided) to attach a long bracket to one side of the power supply.
Use the holes closest to the rear of the power supply.
