RPS-720 <-> RPS-600
Hello,
I'm reading the spec sheets of the RPS-600 and RPS-720 redundant power supplies for powerconnect switches.
Facts :
- The RPS-600 documentation mentions it is intended for 5400 Series (among others)
- The RPS-720 documentation mentions it is intended for the new 5500 Series
- All the precedent devices use the same 14 pin RPS connector
- The RPS-600 has four 12V / 150W outputs
- The RPS-720 has four 12V / 180W outputs
In theory, it seems possible to connect 5400 switches on RPS-720. (and of course, the opposite is a bit risky, 5500 switches on RPS-600).
Question : can someone confirm me this is effectively possible ? Although i think it is, i'm not sure if the internal mapping of the 14 pins is the same on both versions.
Regards.

Hi,
It is not a validated configuration and may not be supported if you had an issue with running it. It may work as the max power consumption on the 5500 is less than the 600 watts the RPS600 provides, but the pinout may have changed and it is not recommended.
