1.2.2  Backplane

The backplane of the S9500 series allows high-speed data exchange between SRPUs and LPUs, as well as the exchange of various management and control signals in the system.

I. Functions

The following are the main functions of the backplane:

l           Providing communication channels for signal exchange between boards

l           Supporting board hot-swapping

l           Supporting board auto-discovery in slots

l           Connecting PSUs to distribute power SRPUs, LPUs/service boards, and fan tray(s) and providing monitor channels for them.

II. Structure

The S9500 series use a passive backplane, which provides multiple board slots, one or two fan interfaces, and two –48V power interfaces (one for PSUs and the other for PoE power entry module).

1.2.3  Power System

 

 

The power system is at the bottom of the chassis. In the PSU slots, you can insert either two AC PSUs or two DC PSUs. The PSUs are cooled by the built-in fans, which draw air into the chassis from the front and exhaust air from the rear.

1.2.4  PoE Power Supply

The S9500 series support power over Ethernet (PoE). With this feature, an S9500 switch equipped with an external PoE power supply and PoE-capable LPUs can deliver –48 VDC to its remotely powered devices (PDs), such as IP phones, wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs) and network cameras, through Ethernet cables.

Currently, among the LPUs of the S9500 series, only GV48 is PoE capable.

l           The S9500 series can supply power to remote PDs through Ethernet electrical ports on the LPUs. Each LPU can simultaneously supply power to up to 48 PDs with the maximum distance of 100 m (328.1 feet).

l           Each Ethernet port can deliver up to 15.4 W to its PD.

l           The S9500 series determine whether to deliver power to a newly detected PD according to the following condition: If the remaining PoE power of the switch is greater than what is required by a newly detected PD, the switch supplies power to it. Otherwise, the switch does not supply power to it.

I. PoE power entry module

The PoE-supported S9505/S9508/S9508V/S9512 switch chassis has a PoE power entry module between the two PSUs. You can connect this PoE power entry module to an external PoE power supply PSE4500-A.

Figure 1-5 PoE power entry module

II. External PoE power supply

The S9505/S9508/S9508V/S9512 uses the PSE4500-A power system as an external PoE power supply. Figure 1-6 shows the PSE4500-A front panel.

The external PoE power system has the monitoring function. It provides one RS232 and two RS485 monitoring interfaces. The external PoE power supply can display alarm information through the ALM LED. The system can learn the running information of the rectifiers by connecting a monitoring port to the SRPU. You can use cables to connect the monitoring ports from the front or the rear of the external PoE power supply.
