Hardware Supported
The RPS 2300 is compatible with the Catalyst 2970 switches. For a complete list of the Cisco products that are compatible with the RPS 2300, see the Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 Compatibility Matrix (not orderable but available on Cisco.com).
Limitations and Restrictions
You should review this section before you begin working with the RPS 2300. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there are no workarounds.
These are the limitations:
•
The switch might restart when it changes from RPS power to its own internal power. This situation might occur after a power supply on a switch fails, the RPS takes over, and the switch reverts to its own power. We recommend that you plan for this possibility when you restart a switch using its own internal power after using the RPS as backup power.
This problem might occur on any fixed configuration switch except for the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches.There is no workaround. (CSCdx81023)
•
When connecting the RPS cable between the RPS 2300 and the Catalyst 3750-E or 3560E switch or other supported network devices, this communication error might appear:
%PLATFORM_ENV-1-RPS_ACCESS: RPS is not responding
No workaround is required because the problem corrects itself. (CSCsf15170)
