Note When planning the installation of the HP ProCurve Switch xl PoE Module you
must pay attention to the cabling. In a rack type installation, the HP 600 RPS/
EPS is installed with the EPS ports in the rear, opposite this graphic. This
means the EPS cable must come from the back of the HP 600 RPS/EPS unit
and connect to the front of the module.
