PoE Hat and RP3B+ issues

[dudesque]

Hello all,
I decided to switch my few pi to PoE so purchased a netgear GS308PP ( https://www.netgear.com/home/products/n ... 308PP.aspx )
I purchased the PoE Hat from the Pi Fundation
so it works well with the Pi4, but I was unable to use it with my 2 "Rasbperry Pi 3 Model B Vi 2, can anyone point me what I am missing?

thanks a lot!

Hi.

The Raspberry Pi PoE HAT can only be used with the pi3B+ and the pi4B.

The Raspberry Pi Power over Ethernet HAT is a small accessory for the Raspberry Pi computer. It can only be used with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (launched June 2019) and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (launched March 2018). The PoE HAT allows you to power your Raspberry Pi using Power over Ethernet–enabled networks; for this product to be used, the network it is connected to needs to have power-sourcing equipment installed.

The pi 3B is missing the 4 extra pins near the network port so it will not work.
