Power Save mode
Certain models of the 6600 series switches have implemented advanced power-saving capabilities to reduce
power consumed by unused or idle ports. The 6600-24XG, 6600-48G, and 6600-48G-4XG switches
allow users to turn off groups of ports to save power by entering the CLI savepower command at the global
configuration level.
Ports are grouped into power domains on each 6600 switch. To enable Power Save mode, you must enter a
power domain number with the savepower command. The amount of power saved by powering down a port
group is shown in Table 9.

Services and support
Lifetime warranty
Warranties, and the ease of obtaining warranty service for the customer, are a product benefit that is easily
overlooked in a technical evaluation, but ranks high as a concern of customers as they get ready to actually
make a purchase decision. The ProCurve 6600 Switch Series has a lifetime warranty for as long as you own
the product. If any part of the switch fails due to a defect in material or workmanship, including the power
supply or fans, it will be replaced. In most parts of the world, the replacement unit is sent with next-business-day
delivery in advance of the failing unit being returned to HP.
Advance replacement gets the unit to the customers as quickly as possible and reduces downtime by allowing
the impaired unit to continue to be used if possible until the replacement unit arrives. This also allows for easy
scheduling for when the actual unit swap occurs on the network. An optional upgrade to onsite replacement
is also available in most parts of the world. For more details about warranty coverage, refer to the warranty
statement that is shipped with the product.
The ProCurve 6600 Switch Series and 8200zl, 6200yl, 5400zl, and 3500yl series warranties are industry
leading.
