Power Connector

Provides AC power to the switch.

Redundant Power 
Connector

This connector is provided for the option of adding an 
additional DC redundant power unit (RPU) which can

fails. (Refer to the manual provided with the RPU for 
further details.)

Slots for Optional 
Modules

The upper slot is for the Management Module only. The 
two lower slots support optional media modules or the 
Stacking Module.
