Has anyone had any problems with this switch injecting power on ethernet cards causing them to burn out? We have had to replace over 100 cards this month and cannot determine resolution. Cisco says it supplies power to only devices that require it or can accept it, but I can't find anything else that could do this. I know this is not the venue to ask job related questions but have run out of resources. (ex. CCO, TAC, etc.) Any thoughts on this would be appreciated... Thanks for your help.
