Overview
The HPEAruba Networking 6200F Switch Series is a family of edge networking stackable switches, ideal
for enterprise network access. They provide the foundation for high-performance networks supporting
IoT, mobile, and cloud applications.
These switches are intended for indoor use only. They are for use in commercial applications. A typical
installation is in an environmentally controlled location. The end use environment may or may not be a
restricted access location.
A tool is required to remove the top cover; however, the product is not considered serviceable by an
operator.
Installation precautions and guidelines
To help avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following
installation precautions and guidelines.
Overview |2
Aruba CX 6200F Switches | Start Here Guide 3
WARNING:
nWith the exception of HPEAruba Networking CX 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W switch (R8Q72A) and
HPEAruba Networking CX 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W TAA Switch (R8V13A), do not mount the
switch on a wall, under a table, or under any other horizontal surface.
nMount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at the bottom and
progressively lighter devices positioned higher.
nTo prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is adequately
secured.
This section provides precautions and guidelines to observe when installing your switch. For full installation
instructions, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Power cords |4
CAUTION:
nDo not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the latest Installation and Getting Started
Guide. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
nEnsure the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source by
using the power cord supplied with the switch. For more information on power cords, see the Power cords
section.
nWhen installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and be easily accessible in case the
switch must be powered off.
nEnsure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping
hazard.
nDo not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. See the environmental operating temperature information in the latest Installation and Getting
Started Guide.
nEnsure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on
the same circuit as the switch. Then compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum
ampere ratings for a device are usually printed near the device AC power connectors.
nDo not block any ventilation openings on the front or rear of the switch.Ensure that the air flow around the
switch is not restricted.
oFor all other 24- and 48-port 6200F models: In the front or the back of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm
(3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling. For the air flow direction, see the latest
Installation and Getting Started Guide.
oFor Aruba 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W Switch (R8Q72A) and Aruba 6200F 12G Class4 PoE
2G/2SFP+ 139W TAA Switch (R8V13A) models: In the front or the back of the switch, leave at least
15.24 cm (6 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
nMarking label (includes power rating) is at the bottom of the switch.
nThe switch equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
NOTE:
nUse only supported Aruba transceivers and DACcabes.
nThe HPEAruba Networking CX 6200F switch port side transceiver slots support SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
nFor more information, see the latest version of the following two guides:
oInstallation and Getting Started Guide
oTransceiver Guide
Power cords
Aruba includes the power cord intended for use with your HPEAruba Networking switch. Different
countries/regions may require different power cords. For a list of the power cords that apply to your
Aruba CX 6200F Switches | Start Here Guide 5
switch, see the section that lists power cords in the latest edition of the Installation and Getting Started
Guide for your switch.
CAUTION:
Only HPEAruba-approved power cords may be used with Aruba devices. To access power cord information for
your switch, see the latest edition of the HPEAruba Networking CX 6200 F/M Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Lost or damaged power cords must be replaced only with Aruba-approved power cords. If your installation
requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure that the cord is adequately sized
for the current requirements of the switch. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the
safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance
that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
CAUTION:
Do not use a damaged or non-recommended power cord with your switch. Using such power cords voids the
switch warranty. It can also cause serious electrical problems, including injury or death to personnel, and damage
to the switch and other property. If you cannot verify that you have a power cord approved for use with your
switch model, contact your authorized Aruba dealer or sales representative for assistance.
WARNING:
Remove the power cord from the switch before mounting or dismounting the switch.
Japan power cord warning
CAUTION:
FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. The switch, power cords, and all connected cables are not designed for outdoor use.
Brazil Statement
Este equipamento deve ser conectado obrigatoriamente em tomada de rede de
energia elétrica que possua aterramento (três pinos), conforme a Norma NBR
ABNT 5410, visando a segurança dos usuários contra choques elétricos.)
CAUTION: Shock hazard. To completely remove power from the switch,
disconnect all power cords.

Installation and Getting Started Guide.
IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: Use only supported Aruba transceivers with your switch. For more on transceivers, see the latest
edition of the ArubaOS-Switch and ArubaOS-CX Transceiver Guide. When selecting a fiber SFP and/or SFP+ device,
make sure it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational
temperature of the product. Use only an approved Laser Class 1 SFP and/or SFP+ transceiver.
Battery statements
CAUTION:
This switch uses a lithium battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery.
CAUTION:
A risk of explosion exists if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
battery disposal regulations for your country or region.
ATTENTION:
The battery supplied with this product may contain perchlorate material. Special handling may apply in California
and certain other states. See http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate website for more information.
Aruba CX 6200F Switches | Start Here Guide 11
ATTENTION:
ll y a danger d'explosion s'il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d'un type équivalent recommandé par le
constructeur.Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
NOTE:
The only indicator of battery failure is the failure of the switch internal clock to keep the correct time across a
reboot or power cycle. If a battery failure occurs, contact your authorized Aruba representative for assistance.
Batteries are not customer-serviceable and battery failures should be referred only to service personnel
authorized by Aruba.
