Flexible PoE power budget

For NETGEAR switches that support a flexible PoE budget, you can increase or decrease the available PoE power. To do this, you must first change the PoE power budget setting for the switch and then connect the new power adapter. For managed switches, log in to the device management UI to change the PoE power budget. Unmanaged switches come with a physical PoE power budget setting on the hardware.
Note: Only connect the power adapter to a compatible NETGEAR switch listed in the following table.
