14 CHAPTER 1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A Switch 8800 supports up to 4500 W (220 V)/2250 W (110 V) power to its

on the power it currently supplied.
PoE entry area
The PoE-supported Switch 8807/Switch 8810/Switch 8814 chassis has a PoE entry
area between the two power supply units. You can insert a PoE 3C17510 Switch
8800 PoE Entry Module into this area, and connect this module to a 3C17509
Switch 8800 External PoE Power Rack so as to import the output power of the
External Power Rack unit.

To implement the PoE function on the Switch 8800 Family, PoE-capable interface
module is required. There are two modules are PoE-capable:
3C17528 Switch 8800 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T
3C17532 Switch 8800 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T Access
Both of these I/O Modules are PoE-capable, and will function with the addition of
a 3C17529 PoE Option (PoE DIMM Module).
