  • Page 22: Power Supplies

    Power supplies The Aruba 8325 switch does not have a power switch; it is powered on when at least one installed power supply is connected to an active AC power source. The power supplies automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz.

  • Page 23: Fan Assemblies

    Redundancy With power redundancy, the Aruba 8325 switch can continue normal operation even when one power supply fails or is powered off. When two power supplies are installed, if one becomes unavailable (fails, or is powered off or removed) the remaining power supply provides full power for the device.
  • Page 24 If one or more of the fan assemblies have failed, the front-panel Fan LED will be on amber and failed fan assembly LEDs will be on red. If multiple fans have failed, the switch should be immediately powered off and the fan assemblies replaced. Aruba 8325 Switch Installation and Getting Started Guide...

  • Page 26: Switch Features

    Switch features The features of the Aruba 8325 switch include: • Combinations of fixed QSFP28 and SFP28 ports, as described under Network ports. • For secure environment, all ports are disabled by default. • The option to have one or two power supplies: A second power supply supports redundant system power. If one of the power supplies fails, the second power supply immediately provides the power necessary to keep the switch running.

  • Page 27: Chapter 3 Installing The Switch

    Installing the switch This chapter shows how to install the switch. The Aruba 8325 switch requires you to order a rack mount kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack, or in an equipment cabinet.

  • Page 28: Installation Procedures

    10. Connect the network devices (page 43). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports. At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps. Aruba 8325 Switch Installation and Getting Started Guide...

  • Page 29: Installation Precautions

    Installation precautions 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, on or under a table, or on or under any other horizontal surface.

  • Page 30: Prepare The Installation Site

    On the sides of the switch, leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling. Cooling air flow in Aruba 8325 switches is Front-to-Back (FB) or Back-to-Front (BF), depending on which power supply and fan assembly options are installed. To reverse the cooling air flow direction in an 8325 switch, you must replace the existing power supplies and fan assemblies with power supplies and fan assemblies having the opposite air flow direction.

  • Page 31: Install Fan Assemblies

    3. Install fan assemblies Skip this step if all six fan slots are already populated with fan assemblies. Use the following steps to install a fan assembly in any empty fan slot. • The 48-port switches and the 32-port switches use different fan assemblies. Each fan assembly type can only be installed in the correct switch model.

  • Page 32: Power-On The Switch And Check Leds

    4. Power-on the switch and check LEDs An Aruba 8325 switch does not contain a power on/off switch. It is turned on by connecting the AC power cord to the switch and to an AC power source. Figure 15: Connecting power to the switch Check LEDs for proper switch operation.

    Use only supported genuine Aruba SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28 transceivers with your switch. Non- Aruba transceivers are not supported, and their use may result in product malfunction. Should you require additional transceivers, contact your Aruba sales representative or an authorized reseller. For more transceiver support information for your switch model, see the ArubaOS-Switch and ArubaOS-CX Transceiver Guide in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at http:// www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceFinder.

  • Page 45: Chapter 4 Replacing Components

    If the Aruba 8325 switch is configured with a redundant power supply, the switch will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if a power supply fails. To maintain system redundancy, a failed power supply should be replaced as soon as possible.

  • Page 46: Replacing A Fan Assembly

    4. Connect the AC power cable to the new power supply’s connector. Replacing a fan assembly The Aruba 8325 switch is equipped with six field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan assemblies. The switch can tolerate the failure of a single fan assembly while maintaining a safe operating temperature. To maintain system redundancy, a failed fan assembly should be replaced as soon as possible.
