Caution: The C2RPS-POE power supply does not support non-PoE compliant
SecureStack C2 switches. Do not try to connect the power cable from this C2RPS-POE
power supply to any SecureStack C2 switch that does not have a “P” suffix in the model
name. (Example: C2G124-24.) Otherwise, damage to the device may result.
Precaución: La fuente de poder C2RPS-POE no es compatible con switches
