• The RPS4000 can be connected to a maximum of four switches (any combination
of M5300 series switches is supported) using RPS switch connectors and RPS
cables
• The RPS4000 provides protection against electrical issues such as high-voltage
(input, output) or short circuits for maximum security
• The RPS4000 can accommodate up to four hot-swap APS1000W power
modules
– Eitherone,two,threeorfourAPS1000Wpowermodulesarerequired,
depending on RPS or EPS application (see combinations in “Number of
APS1000W” table)
• In RPS mode with only one APS1000W power module, RPS4000 can protect up
to four (4) non-PoE or PoE M4100 series switches
– In case of a general switches power feed failure, powering all four switches
simultaneously for 12V DC system power
– RPS4000takesoveranddeliversadequatepowerwithoutanyservice
interruption (continuous monitoring)
– When the switch internal power is restored, the RPS4000 stops supplying
power to the switch automatically, again without any service interruption
• In RPS mode with multiple APS1000W power module combinations, RPS4000
can protect up to four (4) PoE M4100 series switches
– In case of a general switches power feed failure, powering all four switches
simultaneously (12V DC system power and -56V DC PoE)
– Same RPS functionality as with non-PoE switches including PoE power budget
protection
• In EPS mode with multiple APS1000W power module combinations, RPS4000
allows for various PoE 802.3af and 802.3at “full power” applications
– Supports M4100-50-POE, M4100-26G-POE; M4100-24G-POE+ and
M4100-50G-POE+
– Superseding switches main PSU for PoE budget and switch powering
– Delivering -56V DC for PoE power and 12V for switch power
– Switch main PSU system acts as built-in RPS for both switch power and PoE
budget protection
• In EPS mode, power slots can be organized into groups of two (Group 1 and Group
2) allowing for APS1000W power modules bridging
– Two APS1000W power modules can be bridged and deliver 1,440W PoE
budget to one 48-port switch M4100-50G-POE+
• Power slots can be configured for RPS or EPS mode
– All four power slots can be combined together with only one APS1000W
power module for four (4) 12V switches RPS application
– Power slots can be utilized in one-to-one mode for PoE switches RPS
applications
– Power slots can be bridged two by two for PoE switches EPS applications
The RPS4000 RPS/EPS unit supports the following key features:
•RPS mode: provide power backup for up to four switches concurrently
– With same level of protection as with four dedicated, “one-to-one” RPS units
•EPS mode: provide supplemental PoE power up to four switches concurrently
– Up to 2,880W shared PoE+ budget
– When in EPS mode, RPS4000 supersedes each switch main PSU
– Switch main PSU system power reverts to redundant power supply (RPS) function
RPS4000
RPS/EPS unit for up to 4 concurrent switches
