Installing the Series 8200zl Switch

Installation Procedures

If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power supply from the redundant AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is, protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the switch will lose all power.

2.Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-21.

8.(Optional) Connect a Power Supply Shelf to the switch

1.Connect the supplied external power supply (EPS) cables to the switch and to the Power Supply Shelf.

2.Tighten the thumb screws on all connectors to prevent any accidental disconnects.

3.Plug the power supply cords into the power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.

The ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf, (J8714A), hereafter referred to as the EPS, is an accessory product for the Series 8200zl switch. The EPS provides External Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power for up to two 8200zl switch products.

The EPS can supply up to 1800 watts (depending upon which power supplies are installed) of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply should fail, or as additional PoE power to be made available to the switch’s PoE ports. For further information regarding the EPS PoE capabilities, see the ProCurve PoE (Power over Ethernet) Devices Planning and Implementation Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started Guide, which are on the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com/manuals. See page 5-1for details.

The EPS is an unmanaged power supply that only provides information by way of LEDs.

EPS Operation

The EPS has a mechanism for detecting that it is connected to a valid switch with an EPS cable. When the EPS is connected to a powered switch it will provide additional PoE power to the switch within 2 seconds.
