Introducing the ProCurve Switch zl
Power Supply Shelf
The ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf is an external power supply that
can supply backup or extra Power over Ethernet (PoE) power to the Series zl
Switches.
Figure 1-1. ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf (J8714A)
Throughout this manual, this unit will be abbreviated as the Power Supply
Shelf.
The Power Supply Shelf has two external power supply (EPS) ports that
provide PoE power for a connected ProCurve zl switch.
This chapter describes the Power Supply Shelf including:

EPS Ports on the Power Supply Shelf
The Power Supply Shelf has two external power supply ports. You can connect
one or two ProCurve zl PoE capable switches to provide PoE power as a
primary or backup source. Each port receives the maximum power, depending
on which power supply is installed, either 273 W or 900 W. Each EPS port is
independent of the other, if one of the power supplies fails the other can still
provide EPS power.
Port Status LEDs
The EPS port status LEDs on the Power Supply Shelf back panel are a
duplication of those on the front panel. For a description of these LEDs, see
Table 1-1 on page 1-3.
Power Connector
The Power Supply Shelf does not have a power switch; it is powered on when
connected to an active AC power source. The power supply J8712A automat-
ically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50
or 60 Hz. The power supply J8713A only operates at 200-240 volts and either
50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

EPS Port Operation
The Power Supply Shelf supports two EPS ports that can provide power to
PoE capable zl switches through EPS cables. Each external power supply unit
can provide additional or redundant PoE power to a zl switch. All internal
power supplies have PoE power.
Each EPS port operates individually. The Power Supply Shelf has two EPS
ports that can provide maximum power, depending on which power supply is
installed, either 273 W or 900 W of PoE power at 50 VDC each. See “Recom-
mended Connection Topologies” on page 2-12.

Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these steps to install the Power Supply Shelf. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-4). Make sure the physical envi-
ronment into which the unit will be installed is properly prepared,
including having the correct cabling ready to connect to the unit and
having an appropriate location for the unit. See page 2-3 for installation
precautions.
2. Mount the unit (page 2-4). The unit can be mounted in a 19-inch telco
rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.
3. Install the power supplies (page 2-8). The Power Supply Shelf does not
come with power supplies. You must purchase them separately and install
them.
4. Connect the Power Supply Shelf to a switch (page 2-9). Using the
supplied EPS cables, connect the unit to the devices that it will support.
5. Connect AC power to the unit (page 2-10). Once the unit is mounted,
plug it into a nearby main AC power source.
6. Verify the unit is operating correctly (page 2-11). This is a simple
process of observing that the LEDs on the unit’s front panel indicate
correct operation.
At this point, your unit is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need
more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installing and Connecting the External Power Supply Shelf
Installation Procedures
Installing and Connecting the External
Power Supply Shelf
Installation Precautions:
Follow these precautions when installing your Power Supply Shelf:
WARNINGS ■The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively
lighter devices installed above.
■Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power supply
slot. A cover plate is required for safe operations, and to ensure
proper switch cooling.
Cautions ■Make sure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the unit to connect it to the power source.
■If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the unit, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The
mark is your assurance the power cord can be used safely with the unit.
■When installing the unit, note that the AC outlet should be near the unit
and should be easily accessible in case the unit must be powered off.
■Ensure the unit does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the unit and compare the total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on devices near
the AC power connectors.
■Do not install the unit in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
■Make sure the air flow around the front, sides and back of the unit is not
restricted. If this unit is placed in a fully enclosed rack, make certain the
ambient temperature inside the rack near the unit does not exceed 55°C
(131°F).
■For safe operation and to prevent equipment damage, DO NOT connect
EPS, or power cables to non-supported equipment or in non-supported
configurations.

Installation Procedures
Installing and Connecting the External
Power Supply Shelf
1. Prepare the Installation Site
■Cabling - Only use the EPS cables supplied with the unit for external
power connections to switches.
■Installation Location - Before installing the unit, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In both the front and back of the unit, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches)
of space for the EPS cables, and the power cord.
• On the sides of the unit, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
2. Mount the Unit
The Power Supply Shelf can be mounted in these ways:
■in a rack or cabinet
■on a horizontal surface
Rack or Cabinet Mounting
The Power Supply Shelf is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-
inch telco rack or communication equipment cabinet. The mounting brackets
have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated allowing for a wide variety
of mounting options.
WARNING For safe operation, please read the installation precautions on
page 2-3, before mounting the unit.
Equipment
Cabinet
Note
The 12-24 screws supplied with the unit are the correct threading for standard
EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the unit in an equipment
cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the
cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the unit.
1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting
brackets to the unit with the included 8-mm M4 screws. The screws must
be tightened sufficiently to provide proper support for the unit in the rack.
