ProCurve Switch xl Modules

Installing the Modules

In the default switch configuration all PoE ports have a Low priority. If the

switch has less than 15.4 W of PoE power available, the switch transfers power

from lower-priority ports to higher-priority ports. Within each priority class,

a lower numbered port is supplied power before a higher numbered port. For

more information refer to “Power over Ethernet (PoE) Operation” in the

Management and Configuration Guide

Disconnecting a PD from a port causes the switch to stop providing power to

that port and makes that power available to other ports configured for PoE

operation. For more information on PoE power requirements refer to the

ProCurve PoE Planning and Implementation Guide that came with your 600

RPS/EPS or 610 EPS.

PoE Module LEDs

Port LEDs

There are two LEDs for each port:

■ The Link LED lights with a valid 10base-T or 100base-TX connection.

■ The Mode LED lights according to the LED mode selected on the chassis

and the LED mode selected on the ProCurve Switch PoE xl module. If the

module’s LED mode selection is Std (standard), then the Mode LED

behaves as other ProCurve switch modules:

If the module’s LED mode is PoE, the Mode LED provides information on the

status of the PoE connection for that port:

■ If the Mode LED in on the port is providing PoE power.

■ If the Mode LED is off the port is not providing PoE power.
