18 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE ADVANCED RPS Figure 7 Type 3 DC 'Y' Cable (3C16077) Using the Advanced RPS There are several ways you can use the Advanced RPS to benefit your network and protect against internal PSU failure on your SuperStack units. These are detailed below. Standard Usage Connect your SuperStack unit directly to the power module using the standard DC cable supplied with the module (see Figure 8). The power module acts as a highly reliable power supply that can be swapped in the event of a failure. CAUTION: Do not connect your SuperStack units to the AC mains supply. Figure 8 Advanced RPS Standard Usage Configuration Managed Redundancy Managed Redundancy can only be used with a SuperStack unit that has the auto-enable feature. For units that support this feature, see Appendix C.
