HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Installing the Modules
Connecting an HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External
Power Supply
Power over Ethernet technology allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points
and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN cabling,
without needing to modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. For more information
on PoE, refer to the HP ProCurve PoE Planning and Implementation Guide.
The HP ProCurve Switch PoE xl Module (J8161A) is a module for the HP ProCurve
5300xl Switch and has 24 auto-sensing 10/100-TX RJ-45 ports. All 24 ports are
capable of supplying PoE power. However, for the module itself to be able to supply
PoE power it first must be connected to an external power supply (EPS) port on an
HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter
referred to as the HP 600 RPS/EPS.
Connecting the EPS connector
1. If installed, remove the RJ-45 connectors from ports 6 and 13.
2. Connect the EPS cable. Push the connector in firmly until fully seated.
3. Install the cable retention bracket (CRB).
