Power Planning
All XN Series Array models and XS16/12/8/4 Arrays support Power over
Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) with an integrated splitter. AC power is also supported
on all XN Arrays and some versions of the XS8, XS12, and XS16.
This section discusses the AC and PoGE power options.
AC Power
The AC power option requires a direct connection between the Array and a
dedicated AC power outlet. The power cord is provided with the unit.
Power over Gigabit Ethernet
To deliver power to the Array, you may use the optional XP1 or XP8 Power over
Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) modules. They provide power over Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables
to the Array without running power cables—see Figure 5 on page 12.
Specific models of the Array are compatible with specific PoGE modules. For
details, please see “Power over Gigabit Ethernet Compatibility Matrix” on
page 416.
