Installation precautions and guidelines
To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the installation precautions and
guidelines below.
• Do not mount the switch on a wall or under a table or under another horizontal surface.
• Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at the
bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
• To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is
adequately secured.
• Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the Installation and Getting
Started Guide for your switch. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
• Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power
source by using the power cord supplied with the switch.
• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power
supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current 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. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely
with the switch and power supply.
• When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and be easily accessible in
case the switch must be powered off.
• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. (See the Environmental Operating Temperature information.)
• Ensure 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 are usually printed on the devices near the AC power
connectors.
• Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for
cooling. For the air flow direction, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your product
by visiting the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center at http://www.hpe.com/support/
manuals.
If a power supply must be removed, and then reinstalled, wait at least 5 seconds before
reinstallation. Otherwise, damage to the switch may occur.
The power supply needs this time to bleed off any retained power.
Install cover plates on any slot that is not in use.

disabled in the running configuration. If you later install the stacking module, it will not be enabled
until you execute the stacking enable command in the switch CLI. This command enables
stacking and initiates a switch reboot. Otherwise, stacking is disabled even though the stacking
module is installed. (For information on the stacking enable command, see the Advanced
Traffic Management Guide for your switch model at http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals.)

SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ installation notes
When selecting a fiber SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ device, make sure it can function at a maximum
temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the
product. Use only an approved Laser Class 1 SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver.
To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers
supported by your switch.
Use only supported Aruba SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers
Non-Aruba SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are not supported. Use of supported Aruba products ensures that
your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. If you require additional transceivers, contact an
Aruba sales representative or an authorized reseller. The following resources can help you to find transceiver
support information for your switch model:
• See the ArubaOS-Switch Transceiver Guide at http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals.
• See the supported transceivers information in the QuickSpecs for your switch model at http://www.hpe.com/
networking/products, along with minimum software versions to support the listed transceivers:
1. Select Switches.
2. Select Aruba Switches.
3. Select a switch model.
4. Select Product Details
5. Select an option under QuickSpecs.
Hot swapping SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers
Supported SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers that you can install in your Aruba switch can be “hot swapped”–
removed and installed while the switch is receiving power. However, disconnect the network cables from the
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers before hot-swapping them.
Chapter 3 Mount the switch and connect to the network 17

When you replace a SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver with another transceiver of a different type, the switch may
retain selected port-specific configuration settings that were configured for the replaced unit. Be sure to validate or
reconfigure port settings as required.
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ connections to devices with fixed speed/duplex configurations
When connecting a device to your switch port that contains a SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver, the speed and
duplex settings of the switch port and the connected device must match. Otherwise, the device may not link
properly—you may not get a link. For some older network devices, the default speed/duplex settings may be
predefined (for example, to 1000 Mbps/Full Duplex), or otherwise set differently from the default configuration of
your switch. These setting differences may also apply to some older Hewlett Packard Enterprise devices.
Because of these default speed/duplex considerations, make sure that devices connected to your SFP/SFP+/
QSFP+ ports are properly configured. At a minimum, make sure the configurations match.
