Adding PowerConnect 5524P to 2xPC5548 Stack
Hello All,
I currently have 2x5548 (non-PoE) switches stacked with HDMI. Both are being powered by 1xRPS720 unit.
1) Can 5524P will be able to join the current stack?
2) Can I supply power to 5524P with existing RPS720?
3) Can I supply power to another 5524P from a port in 5524P? eg. I have 5524P (let's call it SW1) uplinked to a port in another 5524P (SW2).
Thank you.

1) Can 5524P will be able to join the current stack?
Yes; just make sure you use HDMI cables that are of a specification to support the switches; ideally use Dell supplied ones, or if not, make sure they exceed HDMI 1.4 spec.
2) Can I supply power to 5524P with existing RPS720?
No; the RPS720 is only suitable for non-PoE PCT5500 and 7000, it cannot be used with the PoE varinat. You need an MPS600, one per PoE switch.
3) Can I supply power to another 5524P from a port in 5524P? eg. I have 5524P (let's call it SW1) uplinked to a port in another 5524P (SW2).
No; PoE will only enable if the switch detects an IEEE802.3af compliant device on the port
