LED Status
| Power LED | Left Port LEDs | Right PoE LEDs |
|---|---|---|
| On | 1000 Mbps link | PoE in use |
| Off | 100 or 10 Mbps link | PoE halted (see PoE Troubleshooting) |
| Activity (blinking) | No PoE use (off) | |
| No link (off) |
PoE Max LED
The maximum PoE power that the switch can deliver to all attached powered
devices (PDs) is 120 watts total, 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.
Sufficient (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 8), with a total power budget of 120 watts. 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 first.
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
specification.
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| Standard| Class Description| Minimum Power Allocated to the
Powered Device| Range of Power Delivered to the Powered Device
---|---|---|---|---
0| PoE and PoE+| Default power (full)| 0.44W| 0.44W-12.95W
1| PoE and PoE+| Very low power| 4.0W| 0.44W-3.84W
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

PoE Troubleshooting
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 problem is most likely |
with the attached PD. Check the condition of the
PD or restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD.
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 classification limit of the PD.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits.|
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 |
Attach the Switch to a Wall
To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are
supplied with the switch.
To attach the switch to a wall:
-
Locate the two mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
-
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. -
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.
To install the switch in a rack:
-
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. -
Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
-
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.
-
Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
