Introducing the Switch
■
■
■
The dual-personality ports are either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45,
or mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports in an Ethernet
application).
The Series 2600-PWR Switches incorporate two additional features. These
switches offer two types of power, one for switch AC operating power, and
the other for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power:

■
With these switches you can directly connect computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the Series 2600 Switches offer full network management
capabilities.
1-2
The Switch 2650 and 2650-PWR, has 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-
45 ports with two dual-personality Gigabit Uplink ports.
The Switch 2626 and 2626-PWR, has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-
45 ports with two dual-personality Gigabit Uplink ports.
The Switch 2600-8-PWR, has 8 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports
with one dual-personality Gigabit Uplink port.
Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - PoE technology allows IP tele-
phones, wireless LAN Access Points and other appliances to receive
power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without needing to
modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. The Series 2600-PWR
Switches are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of
providing 406 watts of PoE power (126 watts on the 2600-8-PWR). All of
the Switch 2600-PWR ports can provide up to 15.4 watts of PoE power to
connected devices. For further information regarding PoE power, see the
PoE Planning and Implementation Guide which is on the documentation
CD that came with the switch.
Redundant and External Power Supply Support - The Series 2600-
PWR Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and
External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/
EPS or a ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as
the 610 EPS, and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit,
the 600 RPS/EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the
switch running should the switch internal AC power supply fail.
As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408
watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the
switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2650-PWR, the additional
EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports. For further
information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE capabilities,
see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the
documentation CD that came with the switch.
