Site: Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT


 

HAT is designed for Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4B versions which are equipped with 4-pin PoE connector. It allows simultaneous communication with LAN and powering the minicomputer board via Ethernet (RJ45) connector. PoE+ HAT does not require installation of additional drivers for proper operation, it is a plug-and-play product.
On the board there is a brushless fan designed to cool the processor of the minicomputer, it starts automatically when high temperature is detected. The input voltage of the module ranges from 37 V to 57 V. The output voltage is equal to 5 V and the current capacity is 4 A.
A switch with PoE+ (802.3at) support is required for proper operation of the module.



PoE+ Fan Temperature Control

$ sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt Add to [all]: # fan settings dtoverlay=rpi-poe-plus dtparam=poe_fan_temp0=10000,poe_fan_temp0_hyst=1000 dtparam=poe_fan_temp1=55000,poe_fan_temp1_hyst=5000 dtparam=poe_fan_temp2=60000,poe_fan_temp2_hyst=5000 dtparam=poe_fan_temp3=65000,poe_fan_temp3_hyst=5000 Then save and reboot.

I checked by the CPU temperature: $ vcgencmd measure_temp and got this output: temp=45.1'C Ambient temperature is around 21 °C
