zl power supplies
There are three different power supplies available for the HP ProCurve Switch 8200zl/5400zl series. These 
power supplies provide system power (the power needed to run the switch itself) and PoE/PoE+ power (the 
power sent down the Ethernet cable to power the device at the other end). The differences between these 
power supplies is the amount of PoE/PoE+ power available from the supply.
HP ProCurve Switch 8200zl/5400zl series chassis use the same power supplies. There are three internal power 
supplies available:
•875W(110V/220V)
•1500W(220V)
•1500WPoE+(110V/220V)
As indicated in the following figure, the internal power supply provides both system power as well as PoE. The 
HP ProCurve Switch 8200zl/5400zl series, as well as the 3500 series, can power any device that adheres to 
the IEEE 802.3af standard. The HP ProCurve Switch 8200zl/5400zl series can power any device that adheres 
to the IEEE 802.3at standard, when PoE+ zl modules are used in conjunction with PoE+ power supplies. In 
addition, devices using pre-standard Cisco PoE power can also be powered. The switches will automatically 
detect what type of power and how much is needed when a compatible device is plugged into the port.
Using the 875 W Power Supply (J8712A) and/or 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) with the 1500 W PoE+ Power 
Supply (J9306A) is not supported. It is recommended that you use the same power supply model for all power 
supplies installed in a given 8200zl/5400zl series chassis. 
The internal power supplies provide system power for all internal components (+12 V output within +/–5% 
tolerance, regulated). The J8712A and J8713A power supplies provide power for PoE ports (–48 V output 
within +/–5% tolerance, regulated), which meets isolation and noise requirements of the IEEE 802.3af 
specification. The J9306A power supply provides power for PoE/PoE+ ports (–54 V output within +/–5% 
tolerance, regulated), which meets isolation and noise requirements of the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at 
specifications.
