Power Supplies and Power Budgets for PoE
Devices
The power supplies for the switches are purchased separately. Here
are the power supplies:
PWR150 (AC)
PWR250 (AC)
PWR250-80 (DC)
PWR800 (AC)
PWR1200 (AC)
The power supplies are installed in the two expansion slots in the rear
panel. The switches can have one or two power supplies. A single
power supply can provide full system power. Two power supplies
provide redundant system power.
The PWR800 and PWR1200 Power Supplies provide both system
power and power for PoE devices on the Ethernet copper ports, Their
PoE budgets are listed here. PoE budgets are the maximum amounts
of power that power supplies can provide to devices on the Ethernet
copper ports.
The x530DP Switches with PWR800 or PWR1200 Power Supplies
support the following PoE devices:
All copper ports on the switches support PoE+ IEEE 802.3at
Classes 0 to 4 devices (maximum 30.0W at the switch ports).
All copper ports on the x530DP-28GHXm Switch and ports 25 to
48 on the x530DP-52GHXm Switch also support PoE++ IEEE
802.3bt Classes 5 and 6 devices (maximum 60.0W at the switch
ports).
PoE Power

Number of Power
Supplies in Switch Switch PoE Budget
PWR800 1 370W
2 740W
PWR1200 1 740W
2 1480W

x530DP Series Quick Installation Guide 5
Note: The PWR150, PWR250, and PWR250-80 Power Supplies do
not support PoE.
Note: The maximum number of powered devices that the switches
can support simultaneously will depend on the power requirements
of the devices.
FAN10 Module
The FAN10 module is the cooling unit of the switch.
Here are the guidelines:
The module comes pre-installed in the rear panel of the switch.
The airflow direction in the switch is from front to back.
The fan module is field-replaceable and hot-swappable. You do
not have to power off the switch to replace it.
The switch automatically adjusts the fan speeds according to the
ambient temperature.
VCStack™ Feature
The VCStack feature is used to manage up to eight x530DP
Switches as a single virtual unit. The switches synchronize their
actions so that switching operations (such as spanning tree
protocols, virtual LANs, and static port trunks) span across all the
ports and switches. Two advantages of stacks are:
You can manage multiple units simultaneously, which can
simplify network management.

6 x530DP Series Quick Installation Guide
You can add redundancy to your network topology by distributing
functions across multiple switches. For instance, static port trunks
on standalone switches have to consist of ports from the same
switch. In contrast, static port trunks in a stack can have ports
from different switches.
Note: For instructions, refer to the x530DP Series Installation
Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking.
Beginning the Installation
Reviewing Safety Precautions
Review the following safety precautions before installing the product.
The  symbol indicates that a translation of the safety statement is
available in the PDF document “Translated Safety Statements” on
the Allied Telesis website at www.alliedtelesis.com/us/en/
documents/translated-safety-statements.
Warning: Class 1 Laser product.
 L1
Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam.
 L2
Warning: Power cord is used as a disconnection device.
To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power cord.
 E3
Warning: To prevent electric shock, do not remove the
cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. This unit
contains hazardous voltages and should only be opened
by a trained and qualified technician. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, disconnect electric power to
the product before connecting or disconnecting the
cables.  E1

Warning: Class I Equipment. This equipment must be
earthed. The power plug must be connected to a
properly wired earth ground socket outlet. An improperly
wired socket outlet could place hazardous voltages on
accessible metal parts.  E4
Warning: The device is heavy. Always ask for
assistance before moving or lifting it to avoid injuring
yourself or damaging the equipment.  E122
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the PoE

Unpacking the Switch
Here are the items that come with the switch.
Choosing a Site for the Switch
Review these site recommendations and requirements.
Before installing the switch in an equipment rack, check that the
rack is safely secured so that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom of the rack, with the
heavier devices near the bottom.

management cable with
RJ-45 (8P8C) and DB-9
(D-sub 9-pin) connectors
Seven square bumper feet
Four wall/equipment rack
brackets
Sixteen 3x6mm screws for
attaching the wall/equipment
rack brackets to the switch
Four 6x4x29.6mm wall
anchors
Four 4x32.3mm screws for
wood or concrete walls

Before installing the switch on a table, verify that the table is level
and stable.
Before installing the switch on a wall, verify that the wall’s material
is strong enough to hold the switch’s weight. You should position
the device so that it can be screwed into the wall’s framing timber
or equivalent structural element.
The power outlet should be located near the switch and be easily
accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of
the switch so that you can easily connect and disconnect cables,
and view the port LEDs.
The site should allow for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents on the front and rear panels. (The
ventilation direction is from front to back.)
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
The site should not expose the switch to moisture or water.
The site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should use dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network
devices.
Do not install the switch in a wiring or utility box without adequate
airflow.
Ventilation Direction in the Switches
The direction of ventilation in the switches is from front to back.
Warning: Switches should not be stacked on a table or
desktop. They could present a physical safety hazard if
you need to move or replace switches.  E91

Installing the Switch
Installing Power Supplies
To install power supplies, perform the following procedure:
1. Place the switch on a level, secure table.
2. If you are installing the PWR150, PWR250, or PWR250-80
Power Supply, remove the PNL800/1200 Blank Panel from slot B
by loosening the two captive screws. The panel is not compatible
with those power supplies.
3. Unpack the new power supply from its shipping container.
4. Check the shipping container for these accessory items.
Caution: The device is heavy. Use both hands to lift it.
You might injure yourself or damage the device if you
drop it.  E94
Caution: The device can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Be sure to follow standard ESD
