pronged AC power cable connects the RPS to the main power source. 
 
Figure 3–10 Connecting a DGS-3130 Series Switch to the DPS-500A 
 
Remove the AC power cord from the AC power port of the Switch. Insert one end of the 14-pin DC power cable into 
the port on the switch and the other end into the RPS. Using a standard AC power cable, connect the RPS to the main 
AC power source. A green LED on the front of the RPS will glow to indicate a successful connection. Reconnect the 
AC power cord to the AC power port of the Switch. The RPS LED indicator on the front panel of the Switch will 
indicate that an RPS is present and now in operation. No software configuration is required. 
 
NOTE: See the DPS-500A documentation for more information. 
 
NOTE: For DGS-3130-30PS/54PS PoE models, DPS-700 is selected as redundant power supply or 
PoE budget expansion.
