Planning and Implementation for the 3500 Switches
Planning Your PoE Configuration
The table in this example configuration shows the PoE power available for
the HP ProCurve 3500-48-PoE switch.
Figure 10-4. Example of two HP ProCurve 3500-48-PoE Switches connecting to a
HP ProCurve 620 External and Redundant Power Supply (J8696A)
Each of the switches can receive full redundant power from the HP ProCurve
620 RPS/EPS should one of the internal power supplies fail. The lowest loaded
bank of ports (1-24 or 25-48) has 22 watts reserved. That power is available
for use by the two highest priority ports in the bank, (in a default configuration
ports 1 and 2, or 25 and 26).
