BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Only

To reduce the chances of ports fluctuating between powered and non-powered states, newly inserted powered devices (PDs) are not powered when the actual delivered power for the module is within approximately 19 W of the configured inline power budget for that slot.

However, actual aggregate power can be delivered up to the configured inline power budget for the slot (for example, when delivered power from ports increases or when the configured inline power budget for the slot is reduced).
