Installing the RPS1800 in a Cabinet or Rack

An RPS1800 is a redundant power supply system that provides power redundancy for connected switches to ensure uninterrupted services. When the internal power supply of a switch fails, the RPS1800 detects the power failure and supplies power to the switch immediately. This allows the switch to continue operating, thereby ensuring service continuity.

The RPS1800 can be installed in a cabinet or rack only. The installation procedure is the same as that used for a switch of the same dimensions, which are (H x W x D) 43.6 mm x 442.0 mm x 310.0 mm (1.72 in. x 17.4 in. x 12.2 in.). For details, see Using Front Mounting Brackets.

• Before the installation, take ESD protective measures, for example, wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap.
• Leave at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance around the device for heat dissipation. Do not install a device with its air intake vent facing or close to the air exhaust vent of other devices.
• Align the mounting brackets on the left and right mounting rails. If they are not on a horizontal line, forcibly mounting the RPS1800 may distort the chassis.
