HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide

Planning and Implementation for the

HP 5400zl/8200zl Switches

Introduction

This chapter discusses the planning process you should follow to successfully

implement PoE or PoE+ on HP 5400zl/8200zl switches. The HP 5412zl Switch

and the HP 8212zl Switch share a common PoE/PoE+ implementation; and

the HP 5406zl Switch and the HP 8206zl Switch share a common PoE/PoE+

implementation. Port counts, power supply wattages, specifications, and

functionality for these two platforms are the same with respect to PoE and

PoE+.

See “General Considerations” on page A-1 for an example list of

considerations during the planning phase.

HP 5400zl/8200zl Switches

Note The PoE/PoE+ capabilities of the 5400zl and 8200zl chassis products, along

with the power supplies and modules that provide that PoE/PoE+ power to

connected devices, are described in this chapter.

Pre-defined bundles of chassis, power supplies, and modules are available,

but are not specifically described in this chapter. Go to www.hp.com/

networking/support and search on “5400” or “8200” to see all the products that

are available for these switch series.
