Ethernet Ports
The 580EX Series access point is equipped with three Ethernet ports:
E0 PoE+ port: 100/1000/2500/5000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X wired network port (RJ45). The E0 port
supports PoE-in, allowing the AP to draw power from an 802.3at/802.3bt PoE power source.
E1 SFP+ port: 10GBASE-R SFP+ port.
E2 PSE port: 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X wired network port (RJ45). The AP supports 802.3af
PoE-Out when PoE powered, and supports up to 802.3at when powered by AC.
PoE input rating is 57V max|0.3A. 0.3A is per pair of wires in Ethernet cable. Ethernet cable has 4 pair of wires in
total.
AC Power Port
The 580EX Series access point is equipped with an AC power port. The 580EX Series access point does not ship
with any AC power cables. Aruba offers an AC power connector kit (sold separately) for customers to assemble
their own AC power cable.
Grounding Point
Always remember to protect the access point by installing the grounding line first before connecting to a
network and applying power. Additionally, if removing or taking down the AP, the grounding line should be the
last item disconnected.

To enable 802.3at support on E2, Intelligent Power and Temperature Monitoring (IPTM) must be enabled on
the AP to properly monitor and maintain safe operations of the AP under higher power draw requirements. If
IPTM is disabled, the maximum PoE support on E2 is 802.3af.
