Implementation for the
Series 5400zl Switch
Figure 4-9. Example of a 5412zl with three power supplies, J8712A
In this example there are three power supplies supplying 273 watts each for
a maximum of 819 watts.
To achieve the 53 ports at 15.4 watts the PoE devices must be divided up and
connected to three different modules. Remember, as soon as a module is
installed into the switch, 22 watts is reserved for its use.
In this configuration one power supply (273 watts) could be used for
redundant power. However, remember it can only support a limited number
of ports depending on the wattages that are being supplied to the ports.
53 ports can receive up
to 15.4 watts of PoE
