Connect The Switch To A Power Source; Optional) Connect A Power Supply Shelf; To The Switch - HP 8200 zl Installation And Getting Started Manual

7. Connect the Switch to a Power Source

1. Plug the included power cord into the switch's power connector and into
a nearby properly grounded AC power source.
If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one
switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power
supply from the redundant AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC
power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within
the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged
into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is,
protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the
switch will lose all power.
2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See "LED Behavior" on

8. (Optional) Connect a Power Supply Shelf

to the switch

1. Connect the supplied external power supply (EPS) cables to the switch
and to the Power Supply Shelf.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on all connectors to prevent any accidental
disconnects.
3. Plug the power supply cords into the power connector and into a nearby
properly grounded AC power source.
The HP ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf (EPS) (J8714A) is an
accessory product for the 8200 zl switches. The EPS provides External Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) power for up to two 8200 zl switch products.
The EPS can supply up to 1800 watts (depending upon which power supplies
are installed) of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply
should fail, or as additional PoE power to be made available to the switch's
PoE ports. For further information regarding the EPS PoE capabilities, see
the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation
Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started
Guide, which are on the HP networking Web site at
support.
The EPS is an unmanaged power supply that only provides information by
way of LEDs.
