Superstack 3 Advanced Redundant Power System - 3C16071B
The SuperStack 3 Advanced Redundant Power System (ARPS) provides crucial protection against power system failures within 3Com's SuperStack 3 or SuperStack II devices. The SuperStack 3 ARPS consists of an 8-slot chassis that accepts SuperStack II Type 1 and Type 2A and SuperStack 3 Type 3 hot-swappable power modules, purchased separately. Each power supply module in the ARPS will support one SuperStack 3 or SuperStack II device. Different types of modules provide power specifically matched to particular SuperStack II and SuperStack 3 unit. Each has a different connector, so it's easy to determine the appropriate ARPS module for your hub, switch or firewall unit.
You can install SuperStack II Type 1 and Type 2A and SuperStack 3 Type 3 modules concurrently within the same ARPS chassis and reconfigure them to accommodate your changing requirements. An optional slide-in management module can also be added to the ARPS chassis to provide SNMP system monitoring for all power systems within a stack. Using a Y-cable, you can configure (2) ARPS systems as a completely redundant system, providing resilient power to a single hub, switch or firewall in your stack, so that if one module fails, a second takes over without disrupting other units. Power systems can be configured for standard hot-swappable redundancy, managed automatic (fail-over) redundancy or full redundancy with no downtime. 3Com's graphical Transcend Network Supervisor software for Windows is included. For additional protection from power supply surges, dips or failures within a building, a power conditioning and backup UPS is recommended.
