RPS 2300
The RPS 2300 provides DC-output port prioritization. This feature can improve
the availability of network equipment.
The RPS 2300 provides backup power to a connected device until its power
budget is fully allocated. Switches and routers connected to the RPS 2300 are
backed up in the order that it detects a power loss. If a device looses power after
the RPS 2300 has backed up the maximum number of ports, that device does not
receive power from the RPS 2300.
If you consider that a particular device is mission-critical, you can configure the
port priority from 1 to 6 by using the switch software. Specifying a value of 1
assigns the port and its connected devices the highest priority, and specifying a
value of 6 assigns the port and its connected devices the lowest priority. If
multiple switches connected to the RPS 2300 need power, it provides power to the
switches with the highest priorities. If the RPS 2300 still has power available, it
can then provide power to the switches with lower priorities. For more
information about configuring port priorities on the RPS 2300, see the Catalyst
3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E Switch Command Reference.

Front Panel Description

The RPS 2300 front panel has three slots, one for the fan module (which contains
the RPS LEDs and the Select/Standby active buttons), and two slots for the power
supply modules (Figure 1-6).
