Introducing the Switch
Table 1-1. Optional Network Connectivity, Speeds and Technologies
The 3500yl, 3500-24-PoE and 3500-48-PoE switches are designed to support
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The switches support 802.3af
standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. The 3500yl-24G-PoE+
and 3500-48G-PoE+ switches are designed to support Power over Ethernet
plus (PoE+) technology. The switches support 802.3at standard devices and
some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see the FAQs for
your switch model. This feature is the default and you must disable it if you
do not want to use it. (Refer to the Management and Configuration Guide
which is on the HP ProCurve Web site, www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals. (See
page 5-1 for details.)

For supported transceivers see www.hp.com/go/procurve/faqs. Both ProCurve 10-GbE, SFP/SFP+ transceivers and
ProCurve Mini-GBICs have links to a list of supported products (first question in the “General Product Information”
category).
2
The 1000Base-T mini-GBIC is supported on the 6200yl only.
3
The 10-Gbps transceivers are supported on the 3500yl and 6200yl switches only. They are not supported on the
3500 switches.
