Cisco Systems® announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the Cisco Redundant Power System 675 (RPS 675). The last day to order the Cisco RPS 675 is October 15, 2007. Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the EoL bulletin.
Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 (RPS 2300), which provides new and enhanced functionality, including active backup power for up to two routers and switches with Class 3 PoE on 48 ports, and additional management and configuration capabilities. The RPS 2300 also allows hot insertion of external devices and power supplies, thereby reducing potential down time. The RPS 2300 supports the new Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E series switches, in addition to the Cisco Catalyst switches and Integrated Services Routers (ISR’s) supported by the RPS 675. In addition, the RPS 2300 uses the same modular 1150W AC and 750W AC power supplies used by the Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E series switches. This consistency and modularity allow for common sparing, a lower mean time to repair, and greater configuration flexibility. Detailed information about the RPS 2300 can be obtained at: http://www.cisco.com/go/rps2300.
