ProCurve 5412zl Configurations
This section is divided into 3 sub-sections:
■ Standard J8712A Configurations
■ Standard J8713A Configurations
■ Mixed J8712A and J8713A Configurations
Standard J8712A Configurations
The table in each example configuration contains entries that show the PoE 
power available for the PoE modules. There needs to be two power supplies 
in the 5412zl chassis to power all 12 slots. Only one power supply in the 5412zl 
is an unsupported configuration. That’s why the base configuration starts with 
two power supplies.
Figure 4-8. Example of a 5412zl with two power supplies, J8712A
In this example there are two power supplies supplying 273 watts each for a 
maximum of 546 watts.
To achieve the 35 ports at 15.4 watts the PoE devices must be divided up and 
connected to two different modules. Remember, as soon as a module is 
installed into the switch, 22 watts is reserved for its use.
In order to use those watts, devices must be connected to that module or PoE 
power must be disabled to all ports on that module. 
 35 ports can receive up to 
15.4 watts of PoE power
