Installing the Octal PoE Upgrade Module The NetVanta Octal PoE Upgrade provides the ability to detect attached PDs and deliver 48 VDC to the
PDs via existing CAT 5 cabling. If your NetVanta 3448 or NetVanta 3458 did not originally come with PoE
capability, it can be upgraded using the Octal PoE Upgrade. The Octal PoE Upgrade is shipped with the
Octal PoE module, two standoffs, the Octal PoE power supply, and appropriate power cords.
Instructions for Installing the Octal PoE Upgrade Module
Step Action
1Remove power from the unit.
2Remove the three screws from the unit, the two jack screws from the back panel, and, if necessary, the two
mounting brackets (see Figure 43 on page 82).
3Carefully lift and remove the unit’s cover to expose the circuit board.
4Remove the two PC board mounting screws (do not discard).
5Thread and secure the two standoffs (supplied with the NetVanta Octal PoE module) into the two holes from
which you removed the PC board mounting screws.
6Carefully align the 34-pin receptacle on the Octal PoE module with the 34-pin header located on the circuit
board. Applying even pressure, press the module until it is well seated.
7Align the holes in the standoffs with the holes in the Octal PoE module. Attach the module to the standoffs
using the two previously removed PC board mounting screws.
8Replace the unit cover, screws, and mounting brackets.
9Restore power to the unit following the instructions in Powering the NetVanta with Octal PoE Upgrade on
page 70.
Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electrical
components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is
electrically grounded.
The NetVanta Octal PoE Upgrade Module is intended to be installed only by qualified
service personnel.
