Interesting. Do you think doing this would bring down the overall power draw? I would guess maybe yes? I actually don't need PoE out of this particular switch so I'm wondering if I can lower power cost, heat, etc by removing it.
Ah I see, so I guess PoE power draw only really kicks in when you actually have a device connected and using it. Makes sense in retrospect.
Cool, thanks! So basically set different VE IP for the switch management, copy config file, get firmware to 8.0.90, get firmware to 9.x, then profit?

Most of us have Ruckus-branded units, and all of the firmware files and manuals come from the Ruckus website, so... yes.
Fair enough, thanks for the response! I just wanted to make sure the process would work on them. I figured that was the case but I was not sure if Ruckus Firmware would support it, I barely know anything about these switches.
I tried this, dropped 7 watts from 63w to 56w. Hasn't blown up yet. As you observed, mine also recognizes itself as a -48.

My main question, I suppose, is if it's worded this way because it's something you can change in the actual config? Can I say "actually I want to do back to front" and swap the fan direction and tell the switch I've made that physical change so the CLI output reflects that? I was curious why they specify it specifically in the CLI.
probably nothing so exotic.
