included) with minimum power: 40W, 44 to 57VDC.
Note: Ensure the polarity is correct: red is positive (+) and black is negative (-).
US-XG-6POE Quick Start Guide

Power Port
Ground
You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if there is no longer power
through the Power port, the UniFi Switch will switch to the DC power source without
interrupting its operation.
Connect the included Power Adapter to the Power port.
Ancillary grounding point for enhanced ESD protection.
Hardware Installation
The UniFi Switch can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface.
WARNING: The US-XG-6POE must not be stacked. Do not place it on top of another
switch. Do not place anything on top of the US-XG-6POE.
Grounding (Recommended)
The UniFi Switch is grounded through the Power Adapter; however, you can add optional ESD
grounding for enhanced ESD protection.
Note: You also have the option to use the Cable Clip to secure the cord of the Power
Adapter. For instructions, proceed to
"Using the Cable Clip (Optional)" .

Using the DC Input (Optional)
For stand-alone power or redundant backup, connect a DC power source to the UniFi Switch.
Note: Only one power source can be used at any one time. With both power sources
connected, the input with the highest voltage will be used; the other power source
defaults to backup.
Wire a DC/DC cable (not included) to the DC Input. Ensure the polarity is correct: red is
positive (+) and black is negative (-).
