Planning Your PoE Configuration

HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module Configurations

For the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module to function it must be installed in an HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl. The module will receive it’s operational power from the switch and it’s PoE power from the HP 600 RPS/EPS.

With an HP 600 RPS/EPS Powering One Module

In this example there is only one module connected to the HP 600 RPS/EPS, therefore it will be supplied with 368 watts of PoE power to be distributed to all it’s 24 ports at 15.4 watts per port.

When planning the installation of the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module you

 

must pay attention to the cabling. In a rack type installation, the HP 600 RPS/

 

 

EPS is installed with the EPS ports in the rear, opposite this graphic. This

 

 

means the EPS cable must come from the back of the HP 600 RPS/EPS unit

 

 

and connect to the front of the module.
