Power Cords - HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Series Installation, Safety, And Regulatory Information

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power
n
supply, 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 and power supply.
Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions. Otherwise, you may void the switch
n
warranty. See the latest version of the Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power
n
source 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
n
case the switch must be powered off.
Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a
n
tripping hazard.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
n
specification. For operating temperature information, see the latest version of the Installation and
Getting Started Guide.
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection at
n
your 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.
Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the sides, rear, or front of the switch.
n
Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for
n
cooling. For the air flow direction, see the latest version of the Installation and Getting Started Guide.
A slot cover plate MUST be secured over any power supply slot that does not contain a power supply
n
unit. This is required for proper air flow and thermal operation. Leaving a power supply slot
uncovered can cause an over-temperature condition inside the switch that can result in the switch
shutting down. During replacement of a power supply unity, it is acceptable to allow the slot to
remain uncovered for up to two minutes in a switch connected to a power source.
Marking label (includes power rating) is at the bottom of the switch.
n
This switch equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
n
If a power supply must be removed, and then reinstalled, wait at least 5 seconds before reinstallation. Otherwise,
damage to the switch may occur. The power supply needs this time to bleed off any retained power.
Install a cover plate on any slot in the switch that is not in use.

Power cords

HPE includes the power cord intended for use with your switch and power supply. Different
countries/regions may require different power cords. For a list of the power cords that apply to your 6300

Guide for you switch product.
Only HPE-approved power cords may be used with HPE devices. To access the power cord
information for your switch, see the latest edition of the Installation and Getting Started Guide for
your switch and power supply. Lost or damaged power cords must be replaced only with HPE-

with the switch and/or power supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current
