A complete list of SFP transceivers, compatible with this Switch, can be found in the Appendix section, at the end of
this document.

Connecting to a Redundant Power Supply

This Switch can be connected to the Redundant Power Supply (RPS) using either a 14-pin DC power cable or a 22-
pin DC power cable. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects to the redundant power supply and the
main power source to provide power to the RPS. The external redundant power supply is only used when the internal
power supply fails. After the internal power supply fails, the external RPS will immediately take over the power
supplying duties to the Switch automatically.
Please note that every Switch within this series will make use of a specific RPS.
The DWS-3160-24TC must be used together with the DPS-200 Redundant Power Supply or an equivalent RPS.
The DWS-3160-24PC must be used together with the DPS-700 Redundant Power Supply or an equivalent RPS.

Redundant Power Supply, the DPS-200

The D-Link, DPS-200, External Redundant Power Supply, provides a backup power solution to the DWS-3160-24TC
Switch in the event that the Internal Power Supply fails. The DPS-200 is a standalone, low-cost, simple solution that
can prevent the Switch from shutting down when the Internal Power Supply fails. This option is imperative when the
availability of this Switch on the network is of high importance.
