PoE considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port order
(from port 1 to port 8). If the aggregate power requirements of all attached power
devices (PD) exceed the power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-
numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the

The following tables describe the power adapter models that are compatible with
the GS308PP switch and the PoE classes and switch allocations:
Note:
The listed total power budget is the maximum power limit for the
switch. Many PDs require less than maximum power, so the aggregate power
requirements are lower than the maximum, allowing all eight PoE ports to be
active simultaneously.
