  • Page 28: Prepare The Installation Site

    Do not mount the switch on a wall, under a table, or under any other 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 positioned higher. To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is adequately secured.
  • Page 29: Install Power Supplies

    Cooling air flow in Aruba 8360 switches is Port-to-Power or Power-to-Port, depending on which power supply and fan tray options are installed. To reverse the cooling air flow direction in an 8360 switch, you must replace the existing power supplies and fan trays with power supplies and fan trays having the opposite air flow direction.
  • Page 30 Skip this step if all fan tray slots are already populated with fan trays. Use the following steps to install a fan tray in any empty fan tray slot. Ensure that a replacement fan has the same airflow as other fan trays installed in the switch (Port-to-Power or Power-to-Port).

Install Transceivers Hold the transceiver by its sides and gently insert it into the switch until it clicks into place. When a transceiver is inserted, the switch authenticates it.
  • Page 36: Connect The Switch To A Power Source

    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 37: Connect Network Cables

    Using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Use ZTP to configure a switch automatically from a remote server. The switch must be in the factory default configuration. If ZTP is to be used, your network administrator or installation site coordinator must provide an RJ-45 cable connected to the appropriate network.

  • Page 43 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.

    1000BASE-T cable requirements The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust connections, you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A- Because of the increased speed provided by 1000BASE-T (Gigabit-T), network cable quality is more important than for either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.
