Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
7. Connect the Switch to a Power Source
1. Plug the included power cord into the switch’s power connector and into
a nearby AC power source. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-5.
2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-7.
8. (Optional) Connect an External Power Supply to the
switch
There are two external power supplies available for these switches:
■ HP ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply, J8696A, is an
accessory product for the 3500, 3500yl-PWR and 6200yl switches and
specific other HP ProCurve switches.
■ HP ProCurve 630 Redundant and/or External Power Supply, J9443A, is an
accessory product for the 3500yl-PoE+ switches and specific other HP
ProCurve switches.
The external power supplies provide two types of power to the switches:
■ Redundant power, to back up the internal switch power supply in case of
AC power loss, or a fault condition. Should the internal switch power
supply fail, power will be supplied from the external power supply.
■ External Power-over-Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) power. The external power
supplies can supply PoE/PoE+ power to the switch if the internal PoE/
PoE+ power supply fails. For the 48 port switches, the external PoE/PoE+
power is additional power made available to the switch’s ports.
For further information regarding the external power supply PoE/PoE+
capabilities, see the following manuals:
• HP ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and
Implementation Guide
• HP ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply
Installation and Getting Started Guide
• HP ProCurve 630 Redundant and/or External Power Supply

manuals.
These external power supplies are unmanaged power supplies that only
provide information by way of LEDs.
