PoE+ Power Budgets
The PoE+ power budgets of the x530-28GPXm and x530-52GPXm
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 x530-28GPXm and x530-52GPXm Switches support IEEE
802.3at Classes 0 to 4 devices. (Maximum 30.0W at the switch
ports.)
Note: The maximum number of powered devices that the switches
can support simultaneously will depend on the power requirements
of the devices.
VCStack™ Feature
The VCStack feature lets you manage up to eight 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
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 x530 Series Installation Guide for
Virtual Chassis Stacking.

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.
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. The switch might overheat and shutdown.
Ventilation Direction in the Switches
The direction of ventilation in the switches is from front to back.
Installing the Switch
Installing the Switch on a Desk or Table
To install the switch on a desk or table, perform the following
procedure:
1. Place the switch upside down on a table.
2. Inset a rivet housing into a bumper foot.
3. Place the bumper foot on one of the corner holes in the bottom
panel of the switch.
4. Insert the rivet to secure the bumper foot to the base.
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

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to install the remaining bumper feet.
6. Turn the switch over.
7. Go to “Ports” on page 14.
Installing the Switch in an Equipment Rack
The following items are required to install the switch in an equipment
rack:
Two equipment rack brackets (included with the switch)
Eight M3x6mm bracket screws (included with the switch)
Cross-head screwdriver (not provided)
Four standard equipment rack screws (not provided)
To install the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Place the switch on a table.
2. If the bumper feet are attached to the bottom of the switch,
remove them using a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Attach two brackets to the sides of the switch with eight bracket
screws included with the unit. The following figures illustrate the
four possible positions of the brackets on the switch for a
standard 19-inch equipment rack.
