VERVIEW The 3Com Ethernet Power Source (EPS) provides power, over existing Ethernet wiring, to devices such as NBX telephones and 3Com wireless access points. The EPS can determine whether an Ethernet device can accept power over the Ethernet cable, and supply power only to those devices capable of accepting it.
1: 3C HAPTER THERNET OWER OURCE VERVIEW Overview The power source is designed for use with a standard 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet network over standard TIA/EIA-568, Category 5 cable. The DC operating power for the data terminal units is fed through the unused pairs (7/8) and (4/5). You can order the EPS in either of these models: 12 Ethernet ports 24 Ethernet ports...

Before you install or remove any components from the Power Source unit or carry out any maintenance procedures, you must read the safety information provided in Appendix A of this guide.
Make sure that air can flow freely on all sides of the EPS for proper cooling. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance on each side of the unit.
Rack-mounting the EPS Rack-mounting the The EPS is 1.5U high (1 U equals 3.8 cm (1.5 inches)) and fits in most standard 19-inch equipment racks. CAUTIONS: Before you connect the brackets or mount the unit in the rack, disconnect all cables and power from the EPS. Verify that no self-adhesive pads are attached to the underside of the unit.
