●The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE) on port E0 and/or E1

●When PoE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, either port can be configured as the active power source

●Inactive/standby PoE power sources can be used to deliver hitless failover

●Power sources are sold separately; see the HPE Aruba Networking 730 Series Ordering Guide for details

●When powered by DC or 802.3bt (class 5) PoE, the AP will operate without restrictions.

●When powered by 802.3at (class 4) PoE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB ports.

●Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported (except for AP staging).

●With IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the available power budget and actual consumption. The feature restrictions and order in which these get applied are configurable.

    ●DC powered: 20W/31W.

    ●PoE powered: 24W/36W.

●This assumes that up to 10W is supplied to the attached USB device(s).

●Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 8W/19W (DC) or 12W/24W (PoE).
