Introducing the Switch
RPS and EPS Input Port
The 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches support connectivity to a redundant
power supply. The “ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply
(RPS/EPS) is an accessory product for these Switches. The RPS/EPS provides
redundant and additional PoE power to the switch products to back up the
power supply in the switch in case of loss of AC or PoE power. Or, if maximum
PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS will be necessary to
provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there would be no
redundancy.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable
supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “10. Connect a
Console to the Switch (Optional)” on page 20 in chapter 2, “Installing the
Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal
emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. The console port is located on the front of the
3500-24, 3500yl-24G and 6200yl-24G switches, and on the back of the 3500-48
and 3500yl-48G switches.
Power Connector
The 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches do not have a power switch; they are
powered on when connected to an active AC power source. These switches
automatically adjust to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60
Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
