Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures 3. (Optional) Install Another Power Supply Caution The Series 5400zl switches are designed to provide continuously operating PoE power in the event of a single power supply failure with only a loss of PoE power to lower priority ports. If more than one power supply fails while the switch is at or near maximum operating power (that is: the sum total of all PoE supply capacity minus the largest supply, see chapter 2 and 4 of the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products), loss of all PoE power may result. To return PoE power to the ports, without causing the switch to reboot, when there are two or more power supplies still supplying 12V power, unplug the power cord for 5 seconds and replug it for each power supply one at a time. Another, load-sharing redundant power supply (either a ProCurve Switch zl 875 W Power Supply (J8712A), or a ProCurve Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) can be installed in the back of the switch. The 5406zl can hold up to two power supplies and the 5412zl can hold up to four power supplies. The 875 W Power Supply (J8712A) can supply up to 273 watts for PoE power. The 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) can supply up to 900 watts at 220 volts for PoE power. To prevent overloading of the building circuits breakers, the second power supply must be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. This also helps with redundancy, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run. Install the second power supply into power slot number 2 as shown in Figure 2-3. Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis. The slot cover can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use. 2-12
