Page 9: Installation Precautions And Guidelines
If a mechanical lift is used, ensure that the configured weight does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the lift. Install any uninstalled components after mounting the switch. HPE Aruba Networking 8400 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide... - Page 10 To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings and cautions throughout the installation instructions. The switch is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling. Avoid personal injury due to the combined weight of the chassis and installed components.
- Page 11 Ensure that the air flow through the chassis is not restricted. Leave a front and rear clearance of at least 30 cm (11.8 inches) for air flow. Air flow direction is front-to-rear. HPE Aruba Networking 8400 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide...
- Page 12 Install a blank slot cover on any empty management module and line module slot. This helps to contain radio frequency emissions that may interfere with the operation of other devices. If a power supply must be removed, and then reinstalled, wait at least 20 seconds before reinstallation. Otherwise, damage to the switch or its components may occur.

Page 13: Site Preparation
Do not use the handle of a fan tray or a power supply unit, or the chassis air vents to lift or move the switch. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts may cause equipment damage and bodily injury. HPE Aruba Networking 8400 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide... -
Page 14: Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
When you move the switch, follow these guidelines: Remove all power supplies, line modules, two fan trays, and all external cables, including the power cords, before moving the chassis. Use a minimum of four people to manually move the chassis. Aruba recommends moving the chassis using a mechanical lift, if available. -
Page 15: Laser Safety
If condensation appears on the chassis when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the chassis before powering it on to avoid short circuits. To ensure correct operation of the switch, make sure the room temperature meets the requirements below. HPE Aruba Networking 8400 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide... -
