Planning and Implementation for the 3500yl Switches
Planning Your PoE or PoE+ Configuration
The table in this example configuration contains entries that show the PoE+
power available for the 3500yl-48G-PoE+.

The 630 RPS/EPS power supply is rated at 398 watts, however, 382 watts are supplied to the
switch due to line loss on the EPS cable.
The switch can be supplied with power should either part of the internal power
supply fail. The 630 RPS/EPS can supply system power to keep the switch
powered on and PoE+ power to supply the attached PoE+ devices with power
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).
