MS350-24X no need for PoE so is MA-PWR-250WAC working ?

[sconti]

Hi,

I need 10Gb copper, no need for PoE.

Are there someone try to use the MS350-24X, with :

- secondary PS MA-PWR-250WAC 

- or 2* MA-PWR-250WAC

Nothing in the datasheet https://meraki.cisco.com/product-collateral/ms350-series-datasheet/?file

Nothing in the install guide, but "low" power is 56w then 215 idle ... : https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/MS_Installation_Guides/MS350_Series_Installation_Guide

215w mention here : https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/MS_Overview_and_Specifications/MS350_Overview_and_Specifications

Thanks in advance 🙂

I don't understand your question.  Can you re-word it?

@sconti Yes you can use dual power supply in the non POE model of the MS350, note that dual power supplies are usually there for redundant power, in some cases multiple power supplies are required for large capacity POE+ switches.

According to the datasheet, the only supported power supply is the 1025W.

I would stick to only using supported configurations.  If you don't and run into an issue you may have a problem with Meraki Support requiring you to make your configuration one on the supported list before they will help you further.

I agree with @PhilipDAth, the X model that supports mGig is designed for PoE so I'd be pretty sure that it would reject the non-PoE power supplies.  I know it does seem daft, but you have an unusual use case.  Although we have just bought 4x 355s for a datacenter with a total PSU capacity of >8KW and there will be one VoIP handset as the total PoE load...
