Introduction This chapter provides an overview of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a list of reasons why a user might want to implement PoE in their environment. It discusses how PoE transmits power over twisted pair cable and the capabili- ties of the devices used to provide PoE.

Introduction Overview The appliance can be easily moved, to wherever you can lay a LAN cable - minimal disruption to the workplace. Safer - no AC voltages need to be added for additional network devices. As well as the data transfer to and from the appliance, you can use SNMP network management infrastructure to monitor and control the appliances.
2650-PWR switch devices. It also provides PoE power to the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module. The HP 610 EPS can also be used for this purpose, to supply PoE power only. The HP 610 EPS cannot supply RPS power, it can only supply PoE power.
HP 600 RPS/EPS provides power to the switch within 1 millisecond. The HP 600 RPS/EPS supports hot plugging of an RPS or EPS cable. For more information refer to the documentation that came with the HP 600 RPS/EPS.
+12V power to a connected switch, but only one port can provide this power at a given time. If a switch with no AC power is connected to an operating HP 600 RPS/EPS, it will receive power if power is available (no higher priority port is already using the RPS power).
However, if you are using an HP 610 EPS and you connect one port of pair A to a Switch 2626-PWR and one port of pair B to an HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module, they each will receive 408 watts.
3-5. * If both EPS ports on the HP 600 RPS/EPS or both ports of a pair on the HP 610 EPS are connected to switches, each switch can receive 204 watts of power. If a single switch is connected to the EPS ports, that switch can receive 408 watts.
PoE power to the switch. If two switch devices are connected to the EPS ports on the HP 600 RPS/EPS or to both ports of a pair on the HP 610 EPS, only 204 watts are provided to the switch if the internal PoE power supply fails.
Operating Rules External Switch Power Switch Priority Class Port priority classification can be used by the switch to allocate power to ports. It is a prioritization scheme by which the user can assign a low (default), high, or critical priority to any given port. This assignment is done through the command line interface (see the software manual that came with your switch) of the switch and alters the hardware port-number priority for power allocation.

Which devices to plug into which ports and with what priorities? Are the appliances to be powered by PoE power supported? Supported Products The HP ProCurve Switch 2600-PWR Series devices and the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module support any products that meet the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.
PoE devices quickly and easily. There are three configurations: one for the HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR, one for the HP ProCurve 2650-PWR, and one for the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module. Each shows a complete configuration including an optional HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS unit.
2626-PWR is used alone. When used with the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS unit, PoE power is available to the PoE ports should the internal PoE power supply fail. Table entries show the PoE power available when the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS alone provides PoE power.

Power Supply) When two switches are connected to the HP 600 RPS/EPS ports, the PoE power available to each switch is a maximum of 204 W. If all of your PDs consume on average less than 7.6 W each (allowing for any line loss) then all 24 ports will receive redundant power should a switch’s internal PoE...
PoE power when the switch is powered by just the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS unit may be less than the number of ports powered when both the switch and the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS unit are supplying power.

Planning Your PoE Configuration HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module Configurations For the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module to function it must be installed in an HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl. The module will receive it’s operational power from the switch and it’s PoE power from the HP 600 RPS/EPS or an HP 610 EPS.

Planning Infrastructure Requirements Infrastructure Requirements Air conditioning. Power supplies create a great amount of heat. Ensure you have enough cool air to maintain an ambient temperature between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 131°F) around the switch devices inside the rack. Power requirements.Ensure you have enough power supplied to the area where the switches will be mounted.

Glossary Glossary active PoE port - PoE-enabled port connected to a PD and currently delivering power. priority class - Refers to the type of power prioritization where the switch uses Low (the default), High, and Critical priority assignments to determine which groups of ports will receive power.
