Well, if it's not HV, then it would obviously clamp the PoE voltage. And if you're not over-current protecting, then yeah, it'll probably burn up the components on the card. I did that on one of the GigE-APC-POE's. Powered an airFiber on the bench and some static discharged. No fuse, no grounding. It just smoked until I unplugged it. There was a LOT of current available (>6A of 56VDC). Stupid me.

But I have had protected over-current situations. Fuse blew and the SS still works fine. Nearby lightning strikes inducing some surges.

When you say boom you mean the card would appear damaged? What if you put the card in another situation and just do typical ethernet, would it work?

My problem is one AP doesn't turn on at all, two have ethernet problems (link up/down), one reboots when I hit refresh (seriously)

I ordered 12 and from my pictures I can see the middle set says HV in black ink. Unfortunately that means I definitely can't see the ink on the outer two cases so I'll have to climb to see if they're HV for sure.

    I think all pins or pairs on the non-PoE GigESS's are clamped
    under 10 volts. So.. boom?

    Are you sure you didn't get regular 10/100 APC PoE SS's? And
    that's why your GigE isn't working?

    I believe the GigESS-HV's are pretty clearly marked/stamped as HV.
    At least the ones I have in the PRM24 chassis in the NOC are. Yep,
    just looked, the back of the handle is stamped HV.

        Has anyone plugged one in to see what would happen? Does the
        card just blow as soon as you power it up?

        As far as I know, every APC card I've gotten in the last
        several months have been GigEAPC-HV but I'm curious to know
        what would happen if maybe I was shipped the wrong units...
