Planning and

Implementation for the

Series 5400zl Switch

Example of a 5412zl with three power supplies, J8713A

This configuration is an example of three power supplies supplying 900 watts

each for a maximum of 2700 watts to a fully loaded chassis of 288 ports.

Therefore out of the total 288 available ports, 175 can be powered at 15.4 watts

each. That’s equal to a little over 6 and a half modules. Or all ports could be

used at 7.0 watts.

Or, two power supplies could be used to supply PoE power at 1800 watts and

the other one power supply could be held in reserve as redundant power

supply if one of the primary power supplies fail. However this configuration

cannot be fully redundant.
