Tips

To maximize the PoE budget, connect only essential powered devices and monitor power consumption via the management interface. Use the SFP uplinks to connect to a core switch or server for high-bandwidth applications. Ensure proper ventilation in the rack to maintain optimal operating temperatures, especially when all PoE ports are active.
