PoE considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port order
(from port 1 to port 8). If the aggregate power requirements of all attached power
devices (PD) exceed the power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-
numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the

The following tables describe the power adapter models that are compatible with
the GS308PP switch and the PoE classes and switch allocations:
Note: The listed total power budget is the maximum power limit for the
switch. Many PDs require less than maximum power, so the aggregate power
requirements are lower than the maximum, allowing all eight PoE ports to be
active simultaneously.
Power adapters and total power budgets for the GS308PP:

PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
• 0DNHVXUHWKDWWKH3R(0D[/('LVRII,IWKH3R(0D[/('LVVROLG\HOORZ
disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by
disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each
powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the corresponding right

yellow, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions
that are listed in the following table.
PoE Fault Condition Possible Solution
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the
port.
The problem is most likely with the attached
PD. Check the condition of the PD or restart the
PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD.
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded
the maximum level that the switch permits,
which is 30.9W.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the
FODVVLŴFDWLRQOLPLWRIWKH3'
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the
range that the switch permits.
Restart the switch to see if the condition
resolves itself.

The switch can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port, with a
maximum PoE power budget of total 83W with a 90W power adapter and total
123W with a 130W power adapter across all active PoE+ ports.

Cables and speeds
The following table describes the network cables that you can use for the switch
connections and the speeds that thesse cables can support, up to 328 feet (100
meters).

100 Mbps Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher
1 Gbps Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher
Attach the switch to a wall
To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied
with the switch.
To attach the switch to a wall:
1. /RFDWHWKHWZRPRXQWKROHVRQWKHERWWRPSDQHORIWKHVZLWFK
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the
switch.
The two mounting holes must be at a precise distance of 4.27 in. (108.4 mm)
from each other.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with
a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Note: /HDYHDERXWLQPPRIHDFKVFUHZSURWUXGLQJIURPWKHZDOOVR
that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Change the switch’s PoE budget
You can move the slider on the back of the switch to increase or decrease the
PoE budget. You can increase the PoE budget if you buy a higher wattage power
supply. You also can move the slider to a PoE budget that is lower than the power
supply wattage. This reduces your switch’s power consumption. However, we
recommend using the slider setting that matches your power supply.
1. Power down the switch and disconnect the
power cord.
2. Move the slider to the setting that
corresponds to the wattage of the new power
adapter.
3. Connect the power cord and power on the
switch.
