HPE 5412zl-96GProduct 96-port switch module

SKU CH-M1H4-AQNVW MPN 5412zl-96GProduct

A 96-port modular Gigabit Ethernet switch module with integrated PoE on all 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 10-GbE capability

  • Plug typeEthernet Switch
  • 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-density edge connectivity
  • Modular chassis design enables flexible expansion as needs grow
  • ProVision ASIC delivers hardware-accelerated QoS and security
  • Integrated PoE on all 10/100/1000Base-T ports powers devices directly
  • 10-GbE capability supports high-bandwidth uplinks and aggregation

Modular edge switch for enterprise networks

The HPE ProCurve 5412zl-96G is a modular Ethernet switch built on a programmable ProVision ASIC. It delivers 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports with integrated PoE on every 10/100/1000Base-T interface. The chassis supports 10-GbE uplinks and multiple form-factor choices for flexible deployment. It targets organisations that need granular QoS and security at the network edge.

Thermals noise and power in normal operation

The switch operates as a standard rack-mounted Ethernet appliance with typical enterprise power draw. Fan noise is consistent with managed chassis switches in wiring closets. No abnormal thermal behaviour is reported under usual office or data-centre loads. Power consumption scales with the number of active PoE ports and installed line modules.

Upgrade path from fixed-port switches

This module replaces fixed-configuration Gigabit switches when port density must grow beyond a single appliance. The jump is worth it when you need modular expansion slots, integrated PoE on all copper ports, or 10-GbE uplink flexibility. It is not for buyers who require only a few access ports or who lack rack space for a modular chassis.

Questions about this item

How is the 96-port module installed in the 5412zl chassis, and what step do people miss?

Slide the module into an empty chassis slot until the ejector levers click, then tighten the captive screws; the step often missed is fully seating the backplane connector before securing the screws.

What maintenance or replacement will the 96-port module need later?

The module itself has no user-replaceable parts; plan to replace the chassis power supplies and fan trays per HPE lifecycle guidelines, and keep firmware current on the ProVision ASIC.

What limit appears first on the 96 x Gigabit ports under sustained wire-speed traffic?

The 96-port module shares the chassis backplane bandwidth, so total aggregate throughput across all slots is the first bottleneck when every port runs at 1000 Mbps continuously.
