Connecting the switch to a
–52 to –55 VDC output RPS
This section applies to the 5120 24G PoE+ (370W) SI switch.
To connect these switches to the RPS that provides
–52 to –55 VDC output:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Unpack the RPS cable shipped with the RPS, identify the plug for connecting to the switch,
correctly orient the plug with the RPS receptacle on the switch chassis, and insert the plug into
the receptacle (see callout 1 in
The RPS receptacle is foolproof. If you cannot insert the plug into the receptacle, re-orient the
plug rather than use excessive force to push it in.
