Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS
Connecting Hubs
Note
The Cisco RPS can also be used with the older FastHub 100, 200, and 300 series
hubs.
All hubs can use the one-to-one cable configuration for quasi-redundancy. The
FastHub 400 series also supports the option of connecting the AC power cord for
redundancy with reboot, although this configuration is not recommended. The use of
a Y-cable for full redundancy is not supported.
The HP 10BASE-T Hub-16M does not support redundancy with reboot and does not
support use of the Y-cable for full redundancy.
To connect hubs to the Cisco RPS, perform these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect the AC power cord on the hub.
Step 2
Connect one end of the one-to-one cable to the Cisco RPS connector on the hub
rear panel. (For connector locations, see
Figure 4-1
and
Figure 4-2
.)
Step 3
Connect the other end of the cable to a Cisco RPS rear-panel connector as shown
in
Figure 4-3
.
