Managed Stackable Layer 3 Switches GSM7328S and GSM7352S Hardware Installation Guide

Connecting a Redundant Power Supply

Each switch has a redundant power supply (RPS) connector at the rear of the
switch next to the power receptacle.
Figure 3-6
You can connect an external DC-to-DC power supply unit to the switch to provide
redundant power in case the primary power supply fails. To connect a redundant
power supply (RPS) unit to the switch, first turn off the switch. When the power is
off, you can remove the cover plate and connect the RPS unit to the switch. After
all connections are completed, apply power to the switch.

Connecting Equipment to the Switch

You can connect devices, a Gigabit Ethernet module, and/or a console to the
switch.

RJ-45 Ports

The switch uses Auto Uplink technology, which enables you to attach devices
using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat5)
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
