EXTREME NETWORKS C2RPS-PSM Redundant Power Supply Module

Description

Key Technical Specifications

Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo rigorous quality verification to ensure OEM-level reliability.

The Extreme Networks C2RPS-PSM is a 150W plug-in power supply module designed to fit into C2RPS chassis systems, providing external redundant power for enterprise-grade stackable Ethernet switches. Acquiring this unit as New Surplus is a high-value supply chain strategy for IT infrastructure managers and network operations centers maintaining legacy Enterasys/Extreme hardware. Securing verified New Surplus units prevents costly network outages caused by power supply degradation, avoiding the high failure rates and dried-out capacitors common in second-hand or refurbished power gear.

Installation & Configuration Guide

1.Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety):Verify chassis power and use ESD protection.

Disconnect the AC power cord from the target power supply slot if swapping an active unit. Put on an ESD-grounded wrist strap connected to the equipment rack ground point before handling the C2RPS-PSM module.

2.Removal:Release retention thumbscrews and remove old module.

Loosen the captive thumbscrews on the front faceplate of the existing -PSM module. Firmly pull the extraction handle straight outward to disengage the rear blind-mate connector from the RPS chassis backplane.

3.Installation (Clone & Seat):Insert new power module firmly.

Align the edges of the new -PSM card with the internal guide rails of the chassis slot. Slide the module in smoothly until the rear power connector seats fully into the backplane. Tighten the captive faceplate thumbscrews hand-tight to ensure mechanical stability.

4.Power-On & Testing:Connect AC line and observe LED status.

Attach the AC line cord into the rear inlet of the module or chassis. Verify that the ‘AC OK’ and ‘DC OK’ green LEDs illuminate on the front faceplate. Check the connected switch console to verify that the redundant power supply is recognized without active power fault logs.

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes

• Hardware Compatibility: The -PSM is a hardware power module and does not run user-flashable firmware or microcode.
• Power Budgeting: Ensure total PoE (Power over Ethernet) power demands across your connected switch stack do not exceed the combined wattage capacity of your iled modules.
• Chassis Slot Matching: Designed strictly for use inside compatible power supply bays (e.g., -CH3 or -CH10 chassis enclosures).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this Extreme rks unit genuinely brand new surplus?

A: Yes, this power module is 100% Genuine New Surplus. It has never been deployed in an active data center or network rack environment. We do not sell used, repaired, or refurbished networking hardware.

Q: Why choose New Surplus over a refurbished network power supply?

A: Refurbished power supplies frequently contain worn-out electrolytic capacitors that fail under continuous thermal load. Investing in New Surplus guarantees original factory insulation standards, full fan life, and stable DC power delivery to critical network switches.

Q: Can I hot-the module while the RPS chassis is powered?

A: The module features blind-mate, hot-swappable connectors designed to be inserted or removed without powering down adjacent switches in the rack, provided at least one other power feed remains active.

Q: What switches work the power supply module?

A: It provides redundant DC power via chassis systems to Extreme Networks / Enterasys C2, C3, C5, B3, and B5 series stackable Ethernet switches.

Q: What warranty coverage comes with this power supply?

ery New Surplus module includes a comprehensive 1-year functional replacement warranty, backed by pre-shipment electrical and output voltage testing.
