Table 1-3
lists the LED colors and their meanings.
Note
The Catalyst 2960 8-port switches, and the Catalyst 2960-24-S, 2960-24TC-S, 2960-48TC-S, and
2960-48TT-S switches do not have an RPS LED.
For more information about the Cisco RPS 2300 or the Cisco RPS 675, see the related hardware
installation guide for that power system.

RPS Status
Off
RPS is off or not properly connected.
Green
RPS is connected and ready to provide back-up power, if required.
Blinking green
RPS is connected but is unavailable because it is providing power to another device
(redundancy has been allocated to a neighboring device).
Amber
The RPS is in standby mode or in a fault condition. Press the Standby/Active button
on the RPS, and the LED should turn green. If it does not, the RPS fan could have
failed. Contact Cisco Systems.
Blinking amber
The internal power supply in a switch has failed, and the RPS is providing power
to the switch (redundancy has been allocated to this device).
