Redundant and External Power Supply Support
- The 2610-PWR
Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and External
Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/EPS or a
ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as the 610 EPS,
and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit, the 600 RPS/
EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the switch running
should the switch internal AC power supply fail.
As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408
watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the
switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2610-48-PWR, the
additional EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports.
For further information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE
capabilities, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is
on the ProCurve Web site at
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the 2610 Switches offer full network management
capabilities.
