Operating Rules
This chapter discusses the operating rules and characteristics of PoE and describes the capabilities of a device used to provide redundant and external PoE power, the HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the HP 600 RPS/EPS. The HP 600 RPS/EPS is an accessory product for the Switch
HP 600 RPS/EPS Operation
The HP 600 RPS/EPS monitors the power signal from a switch by detecting that it is connected to the switch with an RPS or EPS cable. When the power from the switch is no longer detected, the HP 600 RPS/EPS provides power to the switch within 1 millisecond.
The HP 600 RPS/EPS supports hot plugging of an RPS or EPS cable. For more information refer to the documentation that came with the HP 600 RPS/EPS. For connectivity refer to the HP ProCurve Switch 2600 and
Redundant Switch Power
The HP 600 RPS/EPS provides redundant power to any one of up to six switch products, to back up the power supply in a switch in case of loss of AC power, or a fault condition. The HP 600 RPS/EPS is an unmanaged power supply that only provides information by way of LEDs or through the port interfaces to attached devices.
