5412R ZL2 - Power Consumption & UPS sizing

5412R ZL2 - Power Consumption & UPS sizing

We have a 5412R ZL2 chassis providing 188 x 1Gbps PoE+ access ports with 2 x 10GBaseSR uplinks.

 

The chassis is powered by 2 x J9829A PSU's each capable of providing 1100W of PoE+ power.

 

It is envisaged that no more than 400W of PoE will be required.

 

We need to specifiy a UPS to provide 30 mins of backup in the event of a power outage.

 

We are having trouble in ascertaining the power consumption of the 5412R switch.

 

On the one hand the specs for the PSU module says @ 240V it could draw 6.8A MAX - which would indicate a power consumption of 1632Watts

 

Then on the other hand a Tolly test report implies that the average power consumption for a fully loaded 5412R ZL2 switch with 2 PSUs is only 824Watts

 

Does anyone have experiance of acurately sizing UPS's for HP switches ?

 

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks
