Planning and Implementation for the Switch xl PoE module
Planning Your PoE Configuration
ProCurve Switch PoE xl Module Configurations
with a 600 RPS/EPS
For the ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module to function it must be installed in an
ProCurve Switch 5300xl. The module will receive it’s operational power from
the switch and it’s PoE power from the 600 RPS/EPS or an 610 EPS.
Figure 8-1. Example of an 600 RPS/EPS Powering One Module
In this example there is only one module connected to the 600 RPS/EPS,
therefore it will be supplied with 408 watts of PoE power to be distributed to
all it’s 24 ports at 15.4 watts per port.
Note When planning the installation of the ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module you
must pay attention to the cabling. In a rack type installation, the 600 RPS/EPS
is installed with the EPS ports in the rear, opposite this graphic. This means
the EPS cable must come from the back of the 600 RPS/EPS unit and connect
to the front of the module.
