Installation precautions and guidelines
To help avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following installation precautions and
guidelines.
This section provides precautions and guidelines to observe when installing your switch. For full installation instructions,
see the Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide at http://www.hpe.com/networking/
ResourceFinder. (For the switch model, filter for the 8325 switch. For the information type, filter for Installation. Then scroll
down to the Installation list and select the Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.)

WARNING:
• Do not mount the switch on a wall, under a table, or under any other horizontal surface.
• Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at the bottom and
progressively lighter devices positioned higher.
• To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is adequately
secured.

CAUTION:
• Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the latest Aruba 8325 Switches
Installation and Getting Started Guide. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
• Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source by
using the power cord supplied with the switch. For more information on power cords, see Power cords on
page 3.
• When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and be easily accessible in case the
switch must be powered off.
• Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping
hazard.
• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. See the environmental operating temperature information in the latest Aruba 8325 Switches
Installation and Getting Started Guide. To find the installation guide, use the URL at the beginning of this
section and follow the instructions provided with the URL.
• Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. 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 for a device are usually printed near the device AC power connectors.
• Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the sides, rear, or front of the switch.
• Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling. For
the air flow direction, see the latest Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide. To find
the installation guide, select the URL at the beginning of this section and follow the instructions provided
with the URL.
• 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.

 IMPORTANT:
• Use only supported Aruba transceivers.
• The 8325 switch front panel transceiver slots support SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers.

Power cords
Aruba includes the power cord intended for use with your Aruba switch. Different countries/regions may require different
power cords. For a list of the power cords that apply to your 8325 switch, see the section that lists power cords in the latest
edition of the Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide. To access this guide online:
1. Go to http://www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceFinder.
2. For the switch model, filter on 8325.
3. For the information type, filter on Installation.
4. Scroll down to the Installation list and select the latest Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.

CAUTION: Only Aruba-approved power cords may be used with Aruba devices. Use the above four steps to
see the power cord documentation provided in the latest version of the Aruba 8325 Switches Installation and
Getting Started Guide. Lost or damaged power cords must be replaced only with Aruba-approved power
cords. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and/or power
supply, use a power cord that displays the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power
cords in your country or region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
switch and power supply.

WARNING: Do not use a damaged or nonrecommended power cord with your switch. Using such power
cords voids the switch and power supply warranty. It can also cause serious electrical problems, including
injury or death to personnel, and damage to the switch and other property. If you cannot verify that you have a
power cord approved for use with your switch model, contact your authorized Aruba dealer or sales
representative for assistance.
