Recommended Connection Topologies

This section shows some recommended connection topologies using the
620 RPS/EPS. The 620 RPS/EPS can provide backup power support for up to
two ProCurve switches. In the illustration below, two ProCurve Switch 3500yl-
24G-PWR units are connected to the RPS ports on a 620 RPS/EPS. The two
ProCurve 2900 switches can be connected in the same way.

Limitations

The 620 RPS/EPS can supply power to only two connected and failed switches
at a time.

Status Indication

The Power Status LEDs on the 620 RPS/EPS indicate if a port can provide
power. For example, if two switches are connected to the 620 RPS/EPS and
the power to the switch on port 2 fails, the Power Status LED for port 2 turns
on. The Power Status LED for port 1 remains off.
