Extractive Power Supply Design to Increase Flexibility

The GS-6322-24P4X is designed with two extractive power module slots to support Redundant Power Supply (RPS) mode or Extended Power Supply (EPS) mode via software setting to handle the demands of power redundancy or additional power for PoE++ ports as needed.

RPS (1+1) mode: Where critical services are supported by PoE application, the secondary PSU is needed to provide backup power in the event of a power outage. When two PSUs are installed, the power budget is the same as that of one PSU.

EPS (2+0) mode: Where more PoE budget is required to support complete application, the secondary PSU can provide additional PoE power. The two PSUs combined are able to provide a maximum of total PoE power.

The GS-6322-24P4X can work with three optional 920W/1200W/2000W AC power supplies. Users can flexibly use one or dual  power supply according to their application. Its flexible redundant and extended power system is specifically designed for high-tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity.
