SmartStack STS-PSU Redundant
Power Supply Unit
Introduction
The SmartStack STS-PSU Redundant PSU is an external
power supply unit for the SmartStack STS16-20RM Token
Ring Switch, the SmartStack STS16-20R Token Ring
Workgroup Switch, and the SmartStack STS16-20FRM
Token Ring Fiber Switch.
The STS-PSU can be table mounted or mounted in the STS-
RPC chassis unit, and is connected to the STS16-20RM/
STS16-20R/STS16-20FRM switch via a low voltage DC
cable. The STS-PSU is used in installations where redundancy
(increased reliability) is required.
The SmartStack STS-RPC Redundant Power Center is a
chassis unit designed to hold from one to six STS-PSUs. The
STS-RPC unit can be table mounted or mounted in any
standard 19" rack.

Installing the STS-RPC Unit
Use the following steps when table-mounting the STS-RPC
Redundant Power Center:
1. Mount the four self-adhesive pads in the recesses on the
bottom of the unit.
2. Place the unit on any stable, flat surface. Leave enough
room around the unit for ventilation and access to cables.
Caution:
Place no more than three units (switches) directly on
top of any other unit. Doing so may cause damage to the lower
unit.
Use the following steps when rack-mounting the STS-RPC
Redundant Power Center:
1. Open the cap on the front of each bracket cover. Using the
Allen key supplied with the unit, remove the retaining
screws, keeping them for later use. Push the bracket covers
towards the back of the unit and lift them off.
2. Position the STS-RPC unit in the rack. Slide the unit up
and down until the bracket holes line up with the holes in
the rack. Using the screws from the bracket covers and the
nuts supplied with the unit, attach the unit to the rack.
Close the bracket cover caps again to conceal the screws.
Note:
Mount the STS-RPC unit in the middle of a stack of
switches so that the DC cable is able to reach all switches.
Installing the STS-PSU Power Supply Unit
The STS-PSU unit can be table mounted or mounted in the
STS-RPC chassis.
If you are table mounting the STS-PSU unit, simply place the
unit on any flat, stable surface. Leave enough room around the
unit for ventilation and access to cables.
If you are mounting the STS-PSU unit in the STS-RPC
chassis, use the following procedure:
1. Select a location for the STS-PSU unit in the STS-RPC
chassis. Any vacant slot can be used.
2. Remove the blind panel by loosening the two
thumbscrews.
3. Slide the STS-PSU unit into the slot and secure the unit
with the two thumbscrews.
Connectors and LEDs
The STS-PSU connectors and LEDs are listed below:
Cabling and Applying Power to the STS-PSU
Caution:
Both the SmartStack STS-PSU unit and the STS16-
20RM/STS16-20R/STS16-20FRM switch
must be off
before
connecting or disconnecting the DC power cable.
Connect one end of the DC cable to the DC outlet on the back
of the STS-PSU unit (either end of the cable can be used).
Connect the other end of the cable to the redundant power
supply connector on the back of the switch (you need one STS-
PSU unit per switch).

Name Description
DC Connector 18-pin connector for the proprietary
DC cable.
AC Connector Standard AC power receptacle.
Power LED The power LED is on when the
STS-PSU is receiving power.
Table 1. STS-PSU Connectors and LEDs

Using an AC power cable that meets national regulations,
connect one end of the cable to the AC receptacle on the back
of the STS-PSU unit. Connect the other end of the cable to a
grounded power outlet or an uninterruptable power supply
(UPS). The front panel LED turns on when the unit is
receiving power.
Warning:
The STS-PSU unit does
not
have an on/off switch.
Power is
on
when the unit is plugged into a power source.
Important:
The socket outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
To achieve redundancy, both the switch and the STS-PSU unit
must be connected to an AC outlet. Note also that you increase
reliability by connecting the switch and the STS-PSU unit to
different power phases.
The electrical requirements are as follows:
How the STS-PSU Works
The STS-PSU unit is connected in parallel with the internal
switch power supply via the DC cable. If the internal power
supply fails, power is provided from the STS-PSU unit, and
the switch continues to function correctly. The failure is
flagged by internal logic circuitry and can be detected from the
management software.
