  • Page 23 Power Supply LED Function State Meaning Power is not connected to the power supply or, if power is connected, the power supply is in protection mode due to a voltage, current, thermal, or short-circuit condition. Load Sharing Load sharing occurs when two power supplies are installed in the switch and turned on. Load sharing divides the total power load of the switch among both power supplies.
  • Page 24 Fans and power supplies installed in a given HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch must have the same cooling air flow direction (FB or BF). Air flow direction in an HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch is not controlled by software. To change the air flow direction, replace the power supplies and fans with power and fan units supporting the air flow direction you want.
  • Page 25 Table 18: HPE Aruba Networking 8325P Fan Assemblies Label Description Fan release latch Front-to-Back Fan Fan release screw Back-to-Front Fan The switch can tolerate the failure of a single fan assembly while maintaining a safe operating temperature. The switch may continue to operate with one failed fan assembly. If the switch reaches an overtemp condition, the switch will shut down.
  • Page 26 Switch Features The features of the HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switches include the following: Combinations of fixed QSFP28 and SFP+ ports, as described under Network Ports. For secure environment, all ports are disabled by default. All bundles include two power supplies, ensuring full redundancy when one power supply fails. The QSFP28 and SFP+ ports always operate at full duplex.
  • Page 27 Chapter 3 Installing the Switch Installing the Switch This chapter shows how to install the switch. The HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch requires you to order a rack mount kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack, or in an equipment cabinet.
  • Page 28 Parts not Included If you have not already done so, order an HPE Aruba Networking rack mount kit for use with your 8325P switch. Rack mounting your HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch is supported using the following rack-mount kits: HPE Aruba Networking X414 1U Universal 4-Post RM Kit (J9583B) (Not included. Ordered separately.) A DB9-to-RJ45 console cable can be ordered from HPE: JL448A, HPE Aruba Networking X2C2 RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable.
  • Page 29 Installation Precautions To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the installation precautions and guidelines below. Do not mount the switch on a wall, on or under a table, or on or under any other horizontal surface. Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible.
  • Page 30 Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source by using the power cord supplied with the switch. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current requirements.
  • Page 31 Earth Ground Installation The switch has two dedicated protective earthing-grounding terminals provided on the chassis, in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. For all installations which require an antenna connection to the switch for GNSS, proper earth-grounding must be installed by a qualified professional. For all installations, both the dedicated earth-grounding terminals must be permanently connected to equipotential earth-ground, and the installation must be performed by a qualified professional.
  • Page 32 5. Slide the ground screw through the terminal. 6. Insert the ground screw (M5) into the functional ground screw opening on the front panel. 7. Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screws and ring terminal to the front panel of the switch.

  • Page 39 The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19- inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the switch.
  • Page 40 Figure 17 Mounting the Switch in a Two-post Rack Four-Post Rack Mount Option The HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch can be mounted in four-post racks and cabinets by using the HPE Aruba Networking X414 1U Universal 4-post RM Kit (J9583B; sold separately). Determine whether you are installing a front-to-back airflow switch or a back-to-front airflow switch, then use the instructions below to attach the mounting brackets and mount the switch.
  • Page 41 Figure 18 Attaching four-post mounting brackets to the switch For safe, reliable installation, only use the screws provided in the accessory kit to attach the mounting brackets to the switch. 2. Attach the rack slides to the sides of the switch using eight 8-mm M4 screws. Four screws per slide.
  • Page 42 The transceivers operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported. Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove a transceiver. You can install or remove a transceiver from an SFP+/QSFP28 slot without having to power off the switch.
  • Page 43 To remove the transceivers that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the transceiver from the slot. Hot Swapping SFP/SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28 Transceivers Supported SFP/SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28 transceivers that you can install in your HPE Aruba Networking switch can be hot swapped—removed and installed while the switch is receiving power.
  • Page 44 Setup for Initial Configuration You can perform the initial configuration of the switch using one of the following methods: 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 RJ45 cable connected to the appropriate network.
  • Page 45 Figure 21 Connecting an RJ45 Cable 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. See Cabling and Technology Information, for cabling information.

  • Page 51 The HPE Aruba Networking 8325P switch is compatible only with the fan assemblies from the 8325- 32C. After removing a fan assembly, wait at least five seconds before inserting a replacement fan assembly in the same slot. Replace only one fan assembly at a time. Removing more than one fan assembly at a time compromises system cooling, risks damage to the hardware, and can cause the switch to shut down abruptly.

If the assemblies may have failed. error indication continues, the fan assembly may be the wrong airflow or may have failed. The switch may continue to operate under this condition if the ambient temperature does not exceed the operational temperature environment range, but for best operation, the fan assembly should be replaced.
  • Page 57 Problem Solution and re-enable the port if necessary. Verify the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached device. For example, if the switch port is configured as Full-duplex, the port on the attached device also MUST be configured as Full-duplex. If the configurations don’t match, the results could be a very unreliable connection, or no link at all.
