Prepare The Installation Site; Verify That The Switch Boots Correctly - Aruba 6000 Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure that the
n
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.
Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source
n
by using the power cord supplied with the switch.
When installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is near the switch. Make it easily accessible in case the
n
switch must be powered off.
Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping
n
hazard.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
n
specification.
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection at your
n
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.
Ensure 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
Installation Location: Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:
In the front or the back of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and
n
fiber-optic cabling.
In the back of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the power cord.
n
On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling, except if the switch is installed in an
n
open EIA/TIA rack.
