3Com has tested and qualified a Redundant Power System (RPS) solution
designed for the 3Com Switch 4500 by Eaton Powerware Corporation, a
leading global provider of power quality and management solutions.
The Powerware DC RPS systems come in either 3RU or 6RU form-factors,
delivering up to 9,000W of DC power to a stack of Switch 4500 PWR
units. The 3RU RPS unit can house up to three hot-swappable rectifiers
supplying up to 4,500W of power and supports up to eight separately-
fused DC outputs, while the 6RU unit can house up to six hot-swappable
rectifiers provisioning a total of 9,000W.
The RPS supports SNMP management, including MIB II, which is easily
accessible through the built-in RJ-45 or serial port. It is fully compatible
with the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, providing supple-
mental power for the 3Com Switch 4500 PWR models.
With this RPS, all 384 10/100 ports on a stack of eight Switch 4500
PWR 26-Port or 50-port units can receive the industry standard 15.4W
of power per port, with N+1 power redundancy.
The RPS ships with the power input fully configured and can be
connected to a UPS with battery backup. For more details, please refer
