Redundancy All 550XG series switch support redundant power through RPS connector on the back panel Compatible with Cisco RPS2300 redundant power system One RPS2300 can be connected to up to 6 550XG switches, and actively backup 2 devices at a time. Fan redundancy is provided through pre- installed N+1 fans, while the switch can work for its lifetime with only N fans.
