Installation precautions and guidelines
To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following installation
precautions and guidelines.
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.

(missing or bad snippet)
nIf 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 switch requirements. 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.
nEnsure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source
by using the power cord supplied with the switch.
nWhen installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is near the switch. Make it 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.
nEnsure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection at your
installation site. 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 are printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
nEnsure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling.
Prepare the installation site
Cabling Infrastructure: Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications. See
Cabling and technology information for more information.
Installation Location: Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:
nIn 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.
nIn the back of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the power cord.
nOn the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling, except if the switch is installed in an
open EIA/TIA rack.
Air flow direction of the switches
Verify that the switch boots correctly

Aruba 6000 & 6100 Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide 17
Before installing the switch in its network location, plug it into a power source and verify that it boots
correctly.
1. Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch.
Then plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is
connected to the switch and to a power source. For safety, locate the power outlet near the
switch installation.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, 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.
2. Check the LEDs on the switch to make sure the switch is on and operating.
When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self-test and initialization. This boot process,
depending on switch model and configuration, takes approximately 1-2 minutes to complete.
Disconnect power from the switch
Disconnect the power cord from the switch and from the power source.
Mount the switch
Unplug the AC power from the switch before mounting it.
The switches can be mounted in these ways:

Aruba 6100 12G switches warm product and other mounting information
nIf you are mounting the 12G switch (JL679A or R8N89A) in a rack with other products, the preferred
position for the switch is at the base of the rack (for optimal cooling), or underneath as many of the
other products as can be accommodated.
nWhen mounted in a rack, the best practice is to ensure that a 2U (88.9 mm / 3.5 inch) vertical space is left
between the switch and the device above it. Minimally, a 76.2 mm / 3 inch space is required.
nWhen mounting the switches on a wall or on a horizontal surface, ensure that the supplied four rubber
mounting feet are placed on the bottom of the switch. This provision is required to provide the proper
thermal spacing between the switch and the mounting surface.
nAvoid obstructing the ventilation holes on the top, sides, front, and back of the switch.
nDo not install the switches in a confined space that prevents a free air flow.
nWhen installing the switch in an enclosed space containing free air flow, ensure that any adjacent
surfaces are at least 15.3 cm (6 inches) from the top, sides, and back of the switch.
Mounting Aruba 6000 and 6100 12G switches with ports facing upward is not supported.
Physically stacking any switch model on top of a JL679A and R8N89A switch can interrupt the flow of warm air
through the vents in the top of the JL679A and R8N89A switch and is not supported.
Rack or cabinet mounting
All switches can be mounted in a rack. The switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch
Telco rack or communication equipment cabinet.
The 24-port and 48-port switches can also be mounted in 4-post racks and cabinets by using the X410
Switch Rail Kit (J9583A). For instructions on using the kit, see the documentation included with the kit.
If a 24-port or 48-port switch is to be shipped in a rack, it can be mounted and shipped in a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise 10K rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack Mounting Kit (J9583A). Additionally, it can also be mounted
in any four post rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack Mounting Kit (J9583A).
Some mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated, allowing for a wide variety of
mounting options. Secure the rack in accordance with the manufacture's safety guidelines.
For safe operation, please read Installation precautions and guidelines before mounting the switch.

Aruba 6000 & 6100 Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide 19
The screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are
installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the
cabinet in place of the screws that are supplied with the switch.
Complete the following step 1 to attach brackets to the switch. Then, plan which four holes you will be using in the
cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to step 2 to install the switch in the cabinet.
