Connecting the RPS Cable and AC Power Cord to an RPS-150XT
The RPS-150XT power supply is connected to the switch using the supplied RPS cable, as follows.
Caution
Observe all ESD precautions when handling sensitive electronic equipment.
Note
The switch should not be powered on during installation or removal of the power supply. This
is not a hot-swap procedure. Follow the steps in the order specified.
Warning
For some X440-G2 models, when the RPS is not powered on and is connected to a powered
switch, there is potential for a sudden load change that causes the switch to reset. It is best
practice to unplug the switch before connecting the RPS.
1. Connect one end of the RPS cable to the Redundant Power Supply connector at the rear of the
power supply.
2. Connect the other end of the RPS cable to the Redundant Power Supply connector on the switch.
