Cisco RPS 675

The Cisco 675 RPS is a redundant power system that supports six network devices and provides power
to one failed switch at a time. It automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected
switch fails and provides power to the failed switch, preventing loss of network traffic.
The Cisco RPS 675 has two output levels: –48 V and 12 V. The total maximum output power is 675 W.

Console Port

You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female
cable. If you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal, you need to provide an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing
that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the
Specifications" section on page
The console port on the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches is on the front panel rather than on the rear panel.
Note

Security Slots

The Catalyst 2960 8-port switches have security slots on the left and right side panels. You can install
an optional cable lock, such as the type that is used to secure a laptop computer, to secure either or both
sides of the switch.
