(USB-C to USB-A adapter) to connect to a laptop with a Type-C port. 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 27: Power Supply Instructions
Blue (JL713A) (Power-to-Port Airflow) 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. -
Page 28: Power Supply Status Led
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. -

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 36 1. Remove the new fan tray from its packaging, being careful to not touch any of the circuitry on the board. 2.

This can take 1-3 seconds, with the worst case being 5 seconds. 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 42 Warning: in order to comply with Radiatede Emission Class A limit requirements in the United and Canada, for every 50G XCVR in a lower SFP28 port of a 8360 Series switch, an EMI plug should be inserted in the port above it.

Page 49: 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 50: 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, while the Aruba 8360-48Y6C switch is equipped with five. The switch can tolerate the failure of a single fan tray while maintaining a safe operating temperature. - Page 51 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.

This chapter includes switch connector information and network cable information for cables that should be used with Aruba 8360 switches. Incorrectly wired cabling is a common cause of problems for LAN communications. Aruba recommends that you work with a qualified LAN cable installer for assistance with your cabling requirements. -
Page 69: Technology Distance Specifications
For 10GBASE-T, Category 6 patch cables are sensitive to movement once link has been established, and could cause link to drop if moved. Therefore, Aruba recommends using Category 6A patch cables, or using cable management options to tie down (dress) the Category 6 patch cables so they cannot move. - Page 70 40GBASE-SR4 multimode fiber 1500 MHz*km 2 - 100 meters 3500 MHz*km 2 - 150 meters 40GBASE-eSR4 multimode fiber 1500 MHz*km 2 - 330 meters 3500 MHz*km 2 - 550 meters Aruba 8360 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide...
