Introducing the Switch

■For further information regarding PoE power, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals, (See page 1-13).

■Redundant and External Power Supply Support - The 2610-PWR Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/EPS or a ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as the 610 EPS, and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit, the 600 RPS/ EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the switch running should the switch internal AC power supply fail.

As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408 watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2610-48-PWR, the additional EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports. For further information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE capabilities, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals, (See page 1-13).

These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the 2610 Switches offer full network management capabilities.
