The maximum PoE power that the switch can deliver to all attached powered devices

information, see
The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE power that the switch can deliver to
all attached PDs, as follows:
Solid amber. Less than 7W of PoE power is available on the switch.
Blinking amber. The PoE Max LED was lit solid in the previous two minutes.
Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available on the switch (the LED is
off).
PoE Considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE and PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port
order (from port 1 to port 8), with a total power budget of 120 watts. If the power
requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power
budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make
sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports
are supported first.
