1.1 PoE Overview
1.1.1 PoE on the Switch
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches (hereinafter referred to as S9500 series) support
power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Equipped with external power supply and PoE-capable
cards, S9500 series can provide 48 VDC power for remote powered devices (PDs,
such as IP phones, WLANAPs, and Network cameras) through twisted pairs.
zThe S9500 series support LEGACY Power Supply standard. While they can also
supply power to PDs noncompliant with the standard.
zThe power supply of the S9500 series is administered by the SRP card; each PoE
card on the switch can be viewed as a power sourcing equipment (PSE), which
administers the power supplying of all the ports on it independently.
zThe S9500 series can transmit data and supply power in the mean time through
the signal lines (1, 3, 2, and 6) of the category-3/5 twisted pairs. Using converters,
they can also supply power to the PDs that can be powered only through spare
lines (4, 5, 7, and 8).
zThe S9500 series supply power through the Ethernet electrical ports on the
service cards. Each service card can supply power to up to 48 remote devices at
the maximum distance of 100 m (328 feet).
zThe maximum power that can be supplied by each Ethernet port to its PD is 15.4
W.
zWhen supplying power to remote devices, the maximum total power that can be
provided by the S9500 series is 4500 W (220 V)/2250 W (110V). The switch
determines whether or not to supply power to the next remote PD it discovered
depending on the total power it currently supply.

Operation Manual – PoE
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 PoE Configuration
1-2
Note:
zWhen a remote PD is powered by an S9500 series switch, the PD needs not have
any external power supply.
zIf the remote PD has an external power supply, the S9500 series switch and the
external power supply will be redundant with each other for the PD.
1.1.2 External PSE4500-A Power System
If PSE4500-A power system is taken as the external power supply of the switch, the
power distribution is as follows:
1) Input voltage: 110 VAC
zOne or two power supply units (PSUs) of the PSE4500-A power system can
provide 1,200 W of power.
zIf the PSE4500-A power modules work in 2+1 redundancy backup mode, an
output power of 2,500 W is provided and one power module works for the purpose
of backup.
2) Input voltage: 220 VAC
zIn the PSE4500-A power system, one power module can provide a power of up to
2,500 W and two modules can provide a power of up to 4,500 W. When working in
the 1+1 backup mode, the system provides a power of up to 2,500 W.
zIf the PSE4500-A power modules are in 2+1 redundancy, an output power of up to
4500 W is provided and one power module works for the purpose of backup.
1.1.3 PoE-Capable Card
GV48D card of the S9500 series supports PoE.

Operation Manual – PoE
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 PoE Configuration
1-3
Caution:
zWhen the actual power exceeds the set value, the port with a lower priority stops
supplying power so that the port with a higher priority can supply power.
zTo ensure power supply to the "last PD" and provide redundant power to prevent a
transient rise of board power consumption, by default, a buffer of 19 W is reserved
on the chip. For example, if you set the maximum PoEpower for the board to 400 W,
a power of 381 W only can be guaranteed to respond quickly for stable power
supply.
zCurrently, you can set a PoE power ranging from 37 W to 740 W on the PoE boards
of the S9500 series routing switches. By default, the power for a PoE board is 740
W.
1.2 PoE Configuration
The S9500 series can automatically detect any connected device that needs remote
power supply and feeds power to this device.
zDepending on your actual network requirement, you can set the maximum PoE
power totally supplied by the switch through the command line.
zYou can set the maximum PoE power supplied by a card through the command
line.
zYou can also control the PoE on each PoE port independently through the
command line. The control includes: enabling/disabling the PoE feature, and
setting the maximum PoE power, the PoE mode and the PoE priority on the port.

Note:
zBefore setting the maximum power supplied by a card, make sure the remaining
power of the switch is no less than the full power of the card, and the power you can
set for a card ranges from 37 W to 740 W.
zThe reserved power for a blank slot will be recycled automatically by the system if
you insert a PoE-incapable card into the slot.
zWhen a card is almost fully loaded and a new PD is added, the switch will respond to
the PD according to the PoE priority set on the port.
zThe PoE priority of each port is based on its card. In other words, the switch cannot
compare the priorities of ports on different cards.
zThe sampling cycle of the power, current and voltage of ports is 1 second; the
sampling cycle of the peak power and average power of both cards and ports is 5
minutes
