Planning and Implementation for the E5400zl/E8200zl Switches
Configuration Examples
Figure 13-6. Example of a 5406zl with two power supplies (J8712A and J8713A)
In this example (Figure 13-6) there is one J8712A and one J8713A power supply
supplying 1173 watts for PoE usage. This configuration offers 136 ports of
which all can be powered at 7.0 watts each, and offers eight ports for fiber
optic gigabit connectivity.
Note HP ProCurve Networking highly recommends that the two types of power
supplies are not mixed in the same 5406zl chassis.
One power supply (J8712A) could be used to supply PoE power at 273 watts
and the other power supply (J8713A) could be used as a secondary power
supply. If both power supplies are connected to different power sources, one
could backup the other in case of failure. However, if the J8713A power supply
fails, the J8712A can keep the switch running but cannot supply all the PoE
power that the J8713A was supplying. Therefore you need to plan very
carefully when using this configuration.
