    RJ-45 and USB-C are connected, USB-C has priority. Power supplies The Aruba 8360 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 18 The Aruba 8360 switch power supplies adapt electrical power for use with the switch. The chassis has two slots that can hold individual power supplies to support load sharing, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Two 550W color coded power supplies are available for use with Aruba 8360 switches.

  • Page 19: Power Supply Instructions

    The Aruba 8360 switch is shipped with two hot-swappable, field-replaceable, AC power supplies. Each power supply has a country-specific power cord for connection to an AC power outlet. The switch can operate with one active power supply. Power supply instructions WARNING: For indoor use only.

  • Page 20: Redundancy

    Redundancy With power redundancy, the Aruba 8360 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, is powered off or removed) the remaining power supply provides full power for the device.

    This can take 1-3 seconds, with the worst case being 5 seconds. WARNING: • The Aruba transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port. • The transceivers operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported.
  • Page 40 Figure 16: Installing a transceiver Interface group operation The SFP28 ports 1-4 in the Aruba 8360 32Y4C (JL700A/JL701A) are organized into an interface-group of 4 ports. All transceivers in that interface-group must have the same speed. For example, if the interface-group is configured for 25 Gbps operation, any 10 Gbps transceivers installed will be in conflict with the interface- group configuration and will not be enabled.

  • Page 45: Chapter 5 Replacing Components

    If the Aruba 8360 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 Tray

    4. Connect the AC power cable to the new power supply's connector Replacing a fan tray The Aruba 8360 switch is equipped with three field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan trays. The switch can tolerate the failure of a single fan tray while maintaining a safe operating temperature. To maintain system redundancy, a failed fan tray should be replaced as soon as possible.
  • Page 47 CAUTION: • The Aruba 8360 switch is not compatible with fan trays from other Aruba hardware platforms. • After removing a fan tray, wait at least five seconds before inserting a replacement fan tray in the same slot. • Replace only one fan tray at a time. Removing more than one fan tray at a time compromises system cooling, risks damage to the hardware, and can cause the switch to shut down abruptly.
  • Page 48 If the switch is connected to an AC power source, the fan tray should immediately start running.
