1430 Switch Series PoE Power Delivery

Overview | 10
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality is supported on certain 1430 models, known as power source
equipment (PSE) ports which provide power to connected devices. The devices receiving power through PoE
are referred to as powered devices (PDs). The switch automatically detects the presence of a PD on a PSE
port, and the switch uses physical layer classification to assign initial power to the PD. The PoE software
supports Usage mode to allocate power. The default Usage mode reclaims unused power for use by new PD
connections or increased power demand by existing powered PDs.
When more power is requested than is available on the switch, the switch provides power to the lowest port
number first. The 1430 Class 4 PoEswitches support the IEEE 802.3attm standards, providing 30W of power
for Class 4 PDconnections while maintaining backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.3aftm standards
providing 15.4W of power to Class 3 PDconnections. All PoEClass 4 switch ports are capable of delivering
30W per PSEport up to the maximum power supply budget.

also cause serious electrical problems, including risk of injury, death, or damage to the switch and other
property. If you cannot verify that you have a power cord or AC/DC power supply approved for use with
your switch model, contact Aruba customer service for assistance.
nOnly Aruba-approved power cords may be used with Aruba devices. To access power cord information
for your switch, see Included Parts. Lost or damaged power cords must be replaced only with Aruba-
approved power cords. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the
switch and/or power supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current requirements of
the switch. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines
the regulations for power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord
can be used safely with the switch and power supply.
nWhen installing the switch, the AC outlet must be near the switch and easily accessible in case the
switch must be powered off.
nEnsure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits:
1. Add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch.
2. Compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit.
The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
nAvoid blocking any ventilation openings on the top, sides, rear, or front of the switch.
nEnsure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
nDo not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. See environmental and physical specifications for more information.
