About the RPS2-EIF redundant power supply

The Brocade External Redundant Power Supply (RPS2-EIF) can supply a maximum of 150 Watts of
output power per port, a total of 600 Watts of backup power to four FastIron devices in the event of
an AC loss or failure of an internal power supply.
The RPS device operates as a backup to the internal power supply. If then internal power supply
fails, the RPS device will support the full load of the device without affecting network operation.
FastIron LS624 and FastIron LS648 devices support the RPS2-EIF power supply.
Fan and power indicators and receptacles
Four power indicators and one fan indicator are located on the front panel of the RPS device. The
AC supply and DC backup receptacles are located on the RPS device rear panel.
