18 | S2500 Mobility Access Switch Aruba S2500 Series Mobility Access Switch | Installation Guide
SHUTDOWN LED
The S2500 is equipped with a SHUTDOWN LED (see Figure 6 ), which serves two functions:
If you execute the system halt command from the CLI or the LCD screen, the SHUTDOWN LED will become red once the system halt is complete.
If the temperature of the S2500 exceeds the temperature threshold, the SHUTDOWN LED is lit. To check the temperature of the chassis at anytime, scroll to the Environmental screen under Status menu on
LCD.
If any of the components of the S2500 reach the designated temperature threshold, the SHUTDOWN
LED will turn on and the S2500 will turn off to protect itself from damage. The CPU threshold is 212 ºF
(100 ºC).
The S2500 software also sends traps to provide a warning once the system temperature approaches the system tolerance. Additionally, you can monitor the current system status using the CLI or LCD Screen. For more information on traps and system monitoring, see the ArubaOS 7.1 User Guide .
Figure 9 AC Power Connector
AC IN
Power Supply
The Aruba S2500 is equipped with one integrated AC power supply (150W or 580W, depending on the model).
150W Power Supply: This power supply has a single voltage rail, at 12V, and does not support PoE.
580W Power Supply: This power supply has two voltage rails, one at 12V and the other at 56V, and is capable of supporting PoE.
Monitoring
The power supply can be monitored through the CLI and the LCD Screen, as well as traps sent when a power supply fails.
From the Status menu on the LCD Screen, you can view the status of each power supply slot. The LCD
Screen will display one of the following statuses:
OK: The power supply is operating normally
Err: The power supply has stopped operating
For information on how to access the Status menu, see “LCD Panel” on page 12 .
For more information on monitoring the power supplies, see the ArubaOS 7.1 User Guide and the ArubaOS 7.1 CLI
Reference Guide .
Aruba S2500 Series Mobility Access Switch | Installation Guide S2500 Mobility Access Switch | 19
PoE
The S2500-P models support PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) to provide power to connected devices. PoE/
PoE+ is enabled by default to provide plug and play capability for PoE capable devices. The S2500 has three
PoE Management Modes:
Dynamic Mode: This the default mode. The per port power budgeted from the total power supplied from the PSUs is equal the amount of power consumed by the port.
Static Mode: The amount of power used by a specific port is the maximum power configured on that port by the user. This mode ensures that the maximum power specified by the user is reserved and not shared with other ports.
Class-based Mode: The power allotted to the port is the maximum amount of power for the class of powered device connect to that port.
PoE Priority
If the S2500 experiences a reduction in power while the entire power pool is being used, the S2500 will begin disabling ports based on port priority until the required power is available again. Ports with a lower priority will stop receiving power before ports of a higher priority. Port priority can be configured by the user to ensure that necessary devices have power whenever possible. However, if any number of ports have the same priority, ports with the higher interface number will stop receiving power first.
For example:
If interface 0/0/4 and interface 0/0/10 have the same priority but there is not enough power for both, the
