Redundant Power Supply
Introduction
The TP-LINK Redundant Power Supply (RPS) RPS150 is designed to maximize
availability for the business network. RPS150 is used as a redundant power supply for
TP-LINK RPS capable L2 and L3 Managed switches. When worked with these switches,
RPS150 provides a quick failover feature to ensure that the connected switches can
work uninterruptedly in the event of an internal power supply failure. Without any
necessary configuration, RPS150 can be easily installed as an independent power
supply unit, or placed inside RPS2 chassis which is designed to accommodate two
RPS150 for rack-mount installation. Overall, the system integration between TP-LINK’s
managed switches and RPS devices, provides you a resilient and highly available
converged network at an affordable price.

Temperature/Humidity
40℃
0℃
Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low
humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes
and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials
and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature
and humidity of the device, please check the following table.
Environment Temperature Humidity
Operating 0℃ ~ 40℃20% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Storage -40℃ ~ 70℃10% ~ 95%RH Non-condensing
Clearness
The dust accumulated on the device can be absorbed by static electricity and result
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of
static electricity on the operation of the device, please attach much importance to the
following items:
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■
Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
■
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected
by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling,
inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please
make sure to take the following measures:
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■
06
Redundant Power Supply
Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
■
transmitting station.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
■
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and
the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000℃. As this
instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning
protection measures should be taken.
Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.
■
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
■
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
■
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
■
Note: For detailed lightning protection measures, please refer to section 3.1 Connect
to Ground.
