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 or an HP 610
EPS.
Figure 3-6. Example of 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 408 watts of PoE power to be distributed to
all it’s 24 ports at 15.4 watts per port.
Note 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.
