ICX 6400-EPS1500 external power supply
Brocade recommends that you pay attention to the PoE or PoE+ port configuration of the device
when connecting to an ICX 6400-EPS1500. The internal power supply of each ICX 6430 or ICX
6450 PoE or PoE+ device has a maximum number of supported PoE or PoE+ ports. Brocade
recommends that when the ICX 6400-EPS1500 is used as a redundant power source for the ICX
6430 or ICX 6450 PoE device, that the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the external
power supply must not exceed the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the internal power
supply capability of each ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device.
For more information about the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports supported with the internal
power supply of a device, refer to
two EPS connectors must be connected to the ICX 6400-EPS1500. If you increase the maximum
number of PoE or PoE+ ports that can be supported in each ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device, and if
the internal power supply fails, the ICX 6400-EPS1500 cannot guarantee the devices are protected
by the backup power source. The ICX 6400-EPS1500 will not have enough power to sustain the
failed internal power supply. In this case, the device can go down even with the ICX 6400-EPS1500
connected.
The ICX 6400-EPS1500 has three DC output ports: EPS OUT 1, EPS OUT 2, and EPS OUT 3. Each
port supplies 65 W of +12 VDC of DC power, and 370 W of 54 VDC of PoE power. The ICX
6400-EPS1500 is powered on when it is connected to an active AC power source.
NOTE
The ICX 6400-EPS1500 DC cable is hot-pluggable. You must pay attention to the PoE power usage
to ensure that the devices are protected before removing the EPS connectors or AC power cords.
