PoE Max LED
The maximum PoE power that the switch can deliver to all attached powered devices
(PDs) is 183 watts total with a 200 watt power adapter and 76 watts total with a 90
watt power adapter, with a maximum power to each port of 30 watts. (For more
information, see PoE Considerations.)
The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE power that the switch can deliver to
all attached PDs, as follows:
Solid amber. Less than 7W of PoE power is available on the switch.
Blinking amber. The PoE Max LED was lit solid in the previous two minutes.
Sufcient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available on the switch (the LED is
off).

PoE Considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE and PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port
order (from port 1 to port 16), with a total power budget of 183 watts with a 200
watt power adapter and 76 watts total with a 90 watt power adapter. If the power
requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power
budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make
sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports
are supported rst.
Just because a PD is listed as an 802.3at PoE powered device does not
necessarily mean that it requires the maximum power limit of the specication.
Many PDs require less power, allowing all eight PoE ports to be active
simultaneously.
The following table describes the PoE classes and switch allocations.
Device
Class
0 PoE and PoE+ Default
1 PoE and PoE+ Very low
2 PoE and PoE+ Low power 7.0W 3.84W–6.49W
3 PoE and PoE+ Mid power 15.4W 6.49W–12.95W
4 PoE+ only High power 30.0W 12.95W–25.5W

Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber,
disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start
by disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each
powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the corresponding right
port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights solid
amber, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions
that are listed in the following table.
PoE Fault Condition Possible Solution
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on
the port.
The PoE power demand of the PD
exceeded the maximum level that the
switch permits, which is 30.9W.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the
classication limit of the PD.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the
range that the switch permits.
The problem is most likely with the
attached PD. Check the condition of the
PD or restart the PD by disconnecting and
reconnecting the PD.
Restart the switch to see if the condition
resolves itself.
Cables and Speeds
The following table describes the network cables that you can use for the switch
connections and the speeds that these cables can support, up to 328 feet (100
meters).
Speed Cable Type
100 Mbps Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher
1 Gbps Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher
To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied
with the switch.
1. Locate the two mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the
switch.
The two mounting holes must be at a precise distance of 4.27 in. (108.4 mm)
from each other.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with
a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that
you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Install the Switch in a Rack
To install the switch in a rack, you need the rack-mount brackets and screws that
are supplied with the switch.
1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
Insert the screws provided in the product package through each bracket and
into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
2. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
3. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert
two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the
rack.
4. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting
brackets to the rack.
You can move the slider on the back of the switch to increase or decrease the
PoE budget. You can increase the PoE budget if you buy a higher wattage power
supply. You also can move the slider to a PoE budget that is lower than the power
supply wattage. This reduces your switch’s power consumption. However, we
recommend using the slider setting that matches your power supply.
