How does the ProCurve 600 RPS/EPS distribute power?
The ProCurve 600 (J8168A) Redundant and External Power Supply is an optional accessory for the 2600-PWR series and is designed to provide power for two functions: switch operation and PoE operations. For switch operation power backup, the ProCurve 600 provides -12VDC power on a priority basis to only 1 of its 6 RPS ports. RPS Port #1 is the highest priority, while RPS Port #6 is the lowest. If a device requires -12VDC as a backup or redundant power, only 1 of the devices would be powered up. If a device on a higher priority port were to require -12VDC power, the lower priority port would be shut down. Supported devices as of October, 2005 for RPS backup are the Switch 2824 (J4903A), Switch 2848 (J4904A) 10/100/1000 stackable products, and the Switch 2626-PWR (J8164A), Switch 2650-PWR (J8165A), and Switch 2600-8-PWR (J8762A) 10/100 Power over Ethernet products. For PoE operations, the ProCurve 600 provides up to 408 watts of PoE power across its 2 EPS ports. If only 1 PoE switch or modu
