  • Page 33: Connect The Switch To A Power Source

    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. Use of supported genuine Aruba transceivers is always recommended. Non-Aruba SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28 transceivers are not supported.
  • Page 34: Setup For Initial Configuration

    the PSU uses High Line (220VAC). For production environment, the 9300-32D requires High Line (220VAC) to ensure proper operations. One power supply with high line power provides power to operate the switch. Installing a second power supply can provide power to the switch in case the initial power supply fails. If the power supplies are plugged into different AC power sources, redundant power can be supplied in case of loss of one of the AC power sources.
  • Page 35: Connecting Cables To Transceivers

    If the Link LED does not turn on when the network cable is connected to the port, see Diagnosing with the LEDs in the Troubleshooting chapter. To disconnect: Press the small tab on the plug and pull the plug out of the port. Connecting Cables to Transceivers If you have any transceivers installed in the switch, the type of network connections you will need to use depends on the type of transceivers installed.
