HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Installing the Modules
Connecting an HP ProCurve External Power Supply
Power over Ethernet technology allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access
Points and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN
cabling, without needing to modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. For
more information on PoE, refer to the
HP ProCurve PoE Planning and
Implementation Guide .
The HP ProCurve Switch PoE xl Module (J8161A) is a module for the HP
ProCurve 5300xl Switch and has 24 auto-sensing 10/100-TX RJ-45 ports. All 24
ports are capable of supplying PoE power. However, for the module itself to
be able to supply PoE power it first must be connected to an external power
supply (EPS) port on an HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power
Supply (J8168A) or an HP ProCurve 610 External Power Supply (J8169A),
hereafter referred to as the External Power Supply (EPS).
Connecting the EPS connector
1. If installed, remove the RJ-45 connectors from ports 6 and 13.
2. Connect the EPS cable. Push the connector in firmly until fully seated.
3. Install the cable retention bracket (CRB).
4. Secure the CRB to the module bulkhead.
