[ETA] HP A5500-HI POE+ version

[MichaelM55]

Great, HP released a new product poster:

http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA4-1481ENW.pdf

What can be found there:

HP 5500 HI Switch Series
−− Gigabit fully managed L3 stackable switch series
−− PoE+ and non-PoE models with IEEE 802.3az
−− 10 GbE SFP+, XFP, optional modular stacking
−− MPLS/VPLS, Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
−− IRF switching fabric for resiliency
−− Industry-leading lifetime warranty

A POE+ versions of the 5500-HI switches? Let´s confirm this on H3C´s homepage.

H3C S5500-34C-PWR-HI
H3C S5500-58C-PWR-HI

Do the POE+ versions also have dual PSU?  If so, great! When will those be available?

Hi,

You can use google translate - then let the 5500HI translate:

http://www.h3c.com.cn/Products___Technology/Products/Switches/Catalog/S5500/S5500-HI/

There you can select optional information page, which includes for these models:

S5500-34C-HI Ethernet switch
S5500-34C-PWR-HI Ethernet switch
S5500-58C-HI Ethernet switch
S5500-58C-PWR-HI Ethernet switch

The description:

Support dual-pluggable power; AC power input voltage of 90V ~ 264V; using a DC power supply, input voltage is-48V ~-60V

So my guess would be yes to your question on the dual PSU. No idea however when/if it will come,

Best regards,Peter

Great, so here it is the first Comware based 1U, 48 port Gbe, POE switch with dual PSU from HP...

And an additional great info:

5500 HI PoE+ will provide 1000W PoE+-Power (5120/5500 EI provide max 720W)

I dont know the exact date. But it should be available in the next months.
