Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices positioned higher. To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is adequately secured. Aruba 6000 & 6100 Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide... -
Page 16: Prepare The Installation Site
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 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. -

Page 26: Sfp+ Installation Notes (6100 Switch Series Only)
Use only an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver. To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the HPE Aruba SFP transceivers supported by your switch. Use only supported HPE Aruba SFP transceivers. Non-HPE Aruba SFP transceivers are not supported. - Page 27 Hot swapping SFP+ transceivers Supported SFP+ 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+ transceivers before hot-swapping them. When you replace a SFP+ transceiver with another transceiver of a different type, the switch may retain selected port-specific configuration settings that were configured for the replaced unit.

operating on the port (dynamic VLANs), or LACP (dynamic trunking). For example, the normal operation of the spanning tree, MVRP, LACP, and other features may put the port in a blocking state. Use the switch console to determine the port configuration and verify that there is not an improper or undesired configuration of any of the switch features that may be affecting the port. - Page 31 Speed mode Indicates Port LEDs are Speed mode not selected showing speed information On - Green Speed mode selected UID LED User-configurable LED User defined the located LED : Aruba 6000 & 6100 Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide...
