PoE Redundant Power Configurations
The PoE capability of the Summit X450e-48p or X250e-48p varies depending on the number of external
power modules in use.
Table 35
summarizes the PoE power behavior for the Summit X450e-48p or
X250e-48p switch based on the number of power modules in use.
Single 600-LS Module Configuration: Redundant PoE Power
A single EPS-600LS power module provides redundant PoE power capability with the same 370-watt
capacity as the internal power supply. The internal Summit X450e-48p or X250e-48p power supply is
capable of 370 W of PoE power: 15.4 W supplied to each port for a 24-port configuration and 7.7 W
supplied to each port for a 48-port configuration.
●
If the internal power supply fails, the external power module will provide power to PoE devices at
the same power levels as the internal power supply without any power interruptions.
●
If the EPS-600LS power module fails or is removed, the internal power supply continues to provide
PoE power without any power interruptions.
Dual 600-LS Module Configuration: Full Power
Two EPS-600LS power modules provide full power at 740 W; this power level allows 15.4 W of PoE
power to all 48 ports. In this full-power configuration, the internal power supply is disabled, and
therefore redundant power is not available.
Triple 600-LS Module Configuration: Full Redundant Power
Three EPS-600LS power modules provide the full 740 W of power for 15.4 W of PoE power to all 48
ports. In addition, this configuration provides 2:1 redundancy. If one of the EPS-600LS power modules
fails, the third power module continues to provide uninterrupted full PoE power. The internal power
supply is disabled in this configuration.
