Installing The Redundant Power Supply (Rps) - D-Link DGS-1510-10L/ME Hardware Installation Manual

DGS-1510/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switch Hardware Installation Guide
•
The DC power source's output current rate must be higher than or equal to 2.5A.
•
Voltage protection must be applied when the voltage is higher than or equal to 15V.
•
Current protection must be applied when the current is higher than or equal to 6A.
When the DGS-1510-28LP/ME and DGS-1510-28XMP/ME switches are powered by the DC power source only, PoE
is not supported.
1. Make sure that the ON/OFF toggle switch on the rear panel of the Switch is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the DC power cord to the DC power source. Make sure that connection polarity (positive
and negative) is correct at both sides before using this feature to avoid any damaged. Connect the other end
of the DC power cord to the DC power cord's connector. Insert the DC power cord's connector into the DC
power port on the rear panel of the Switch.
3. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch on.
NOTE: If the AC power supply of the DGS-1510-28LP/ME and DGS-1510-28XMP/ME switches
fail and power is supplied by the backup DC power source, these two switches cannot provide
PoE power to Powered Devices (PDs).
NOTE: If the DGS-1510-28LP/ME and DGS-1510-28XMP/ME switches are powered on using only
a DC power source and after the booting procedure was completed and the AC power returns,
power will not be provided to PDs. To return power to PDs, the switches need to be rebooted with
the AC power supply as the main power source.

Installing the Redundant Power Supply (RPS)

The RPS is designed to conform to the wattage requirements of D-Link's Ethernet and Gigabit switches. It is an
external RPS unit enclosed in solid metal case with sockets to AC or DC power sources on one end, and connect to a
switch's internal power supply on the other end. The RPS provides a low-cost, simple solution to the problem of an
