OmniSwitch Backup Power Shelf/System (BPS)
Power Supply Redundancy
Power supplies installed in the same OS-BPS chassis may operate in a redundant or backup configuration
by sharing the same electrical load with another power supply.
Hot Swapping OS-BPS Power Supplies
OS-BPS power supplies are hot swappable. If redundant power supplies are operating in the chassis, a
power supply can be removed or replaced without adversely affecting normal operation. New power
supplies may be inserted in empty power supply slots at any time.
Considerations if OS-BPS is the Only Power Source In a Virtual Chassis
If the primary power supply fails on any switch connected to the OS-BPS, leaving the OS-BPS as the
switch's only power source, it is recommended that the primary power supply is replaced on the switch as
soon as possible.
Chassis Status LEDs
The chassis provides a series of status LEDs located on the front panel. These LEDs offer basic status
information for hardware operation and port link and activity status.
