Power Supplies
All the FS980M Switches, except for the FS980M/28DP Switch, have
one AC power supply and one AC power cord connector on the back
panel.
The FS980M/28DP Switch has two AC power supplies and two AC
power cord connectors on the back panel for redundant system and
PoE+ power. When both power supplies are receiving power, one
power supply is active and the other is redundant power. If the active
power supply loses power, the redundant power supply automatically
becomes active and supplies system and PoE+ power for the switch.

PoE+ Power Budgets
The PoE+ power budgets of the PoE+ switches are listed here.
Power budgets are the maximum amounts of power that PoE+
switches can provide to powered devices on the Ethernet copper
ports.
The switches support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ Classes 0 to 4 devices.
(Maximum 30.0W at the switch ports.)
The PoE+ budget of the FS980M/28DP Switch is 375W when one or
both power supplies are powered on.
Note: The maximum number of powered devices that the switches
can support simultaneously will depend on the power requirements
of the devices.
Combo Ports
The FS980M/9, FS980M/9PS, FS980M/18, and FS980M/18PS
Switches have one or two combo ports. The combo ports have one
10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet copper port and one SFP transceiver
port. The Ethernet copper ports have the letter “R” for “Redundant” on
the front panels of the switches. The combo ports are listed here.
Switch PoE+ Power Budget
FS980M/9PS 150 watts
FS980M/18PS 250 watts
FS980M/28PS 375 watts
FS980M/28DP 375 watts: 1 or 2 active power supplies
FS980M/52PS 375 watts

CentreCOM FS980M Series Quick Installation Guide 7
Here are the guidelines:
Only one port in a combo is active at a time. It can be either the
Ethernet copper port or a corresponding SFP module.
The Ethernet copper port is the active combo port when its SFP
port is empty or the SFP module is not linked to an end node.
The SFP port is the active combo port when its SFP transceiver
establishes a link with a network device. The Ethernet port is
placed in a blocking state.
VCStack Feature
The VCStack feature is used to manage up to four FS980M 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.
You can add redundancy to your network topology by distributing
network functions across different switches. For example, the
ports of a static port trunk on a standalone switch have to be from
on the same switch. In contrast, the ports of a static trunk in a
stack can be from different switches in the same stack.
For instructions on VCStack, refer to the CentreCOM FS980M
Series Command Reference for AlliedWare Plus.
