Aruba S3500 Series Uplink Module
Installation Guide
The S3500’s capabilities can be expanded with the addition of an uplink module. The S3500 uplink module provides SFP and SFP+ uplink ports to connect to other devices.
Minimum Software Requirements
The uplink module requires ArubaOS 7.0.2 or later.
Device Overview
The S3500 plink modules may be hot swapped without damaging the module or S3500 chassis but requires a reboot of the chassis to initialize the module. Similarly, removing an uplink on a live switch is service affecting and all traffic processing will stop until the replacement uplink module is installed and operating.
The Uplink Module and optics are not shipped with the S3500 and must be purchased separately.

10GBASE-X Port
Each uplink module is equipped with four 10GBASE-X ports. These ports are intended for use with Aruba
SFPs. SFPs are 10Gb hot-swappable, optical transceivers, which convert serial electrical signals to external serial optical or electrical signals.
These ports can be used as uplink ports or a combination two uplink ports and two stacking ports. By default, Ports 0 and 1 are configured as uplink ports and Ports 2 and 3 are configured as stacking ports.
These port assignments can be changed to meet your configuration needs.
10GBASE-X Port LEDs
Each uplink module port has two LEDs. These LEDs are used to monitor the status and activity on each port. Depending the LED mode selected through the LCD panel, the displayed information will be different.
For more information on the LCD panel, see "LCD Panel" on page 10 .

SFP and SFP+ Modules
SFP/SFP+ Modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit Ethernet transceivers that provide optical or copper connections to other devices.
Aruba tests and supports Aruba approved optics within their Mobility Access Switch platforms. Non-approved, third party optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Aruba does not guarantee proper functionality of nonapproved, third party optics when used in an Aruba Mobility Access Switch. For a complete list of Aruba approved optics, contact your Aruba sales representative.

Direct Attach Cables
Direct attach cables (DACs) are used to connect one S3500 with another when forming a stack. DACs are installed in an uplink module in the same manner as an SFP module, using the 10GBASE-X Ports. For
information on how to install an SFP or a DAC, see "Installing an SFP" on page 5
. For a list of DACs available through Aruba, see Table 3 .

Installing an Uplink Module
Use standard ESD precautions when installing or removing an uplink module.
!
CAUTION
The S3500 uplink modules are hot-swappable and can be inserted into the S3500 chassis while system power is on or off. However, removing a line card on a live switch is service affecting and all traffic processing will stop until the replacement line card is installed and operating.
Required Tools and Equipment
Phillips head screwdriver
Installation Steps
To install an uplink module:
1. Removing the pre-installed uplink module blanking plate.
a. Loosen both hinged captive screws using a Phillips Head screwdriver.
b. Pull the left hinged captive screw down and slide the plate out.
2. Align the new uplink module with opening in the mobility access switch, as shown in Figure 2 .
Ensure that uplink module is correctly aligned with the opening on the S3500. Failure to do so can result in damage to the uplink module.
3. Pull down the left hinged captive screw on the uplink module and align its tab with the slot on the left side of the opening.
4. Slide the uplink module into the mobility access switch.
5. Lift the left hinged captive screw and secure the uplink module by tightening both screws with a Phillips
Head screwdriver.

Removing Uplink Module
To remove an uplink module:
1. Remove any cables from the uplink module.
2. Remove any SFP modules attached to the uplink module.
For instructions of removing and SFP module, see "Removing an SFP" on page 5
.
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen both screws on the front of the uplink module.
4. Lower the left screw as far as it can go.
5. Using the uplink module’s handle, pull the module out.
6. If you are not replacing the removed uplink module, install a blanking plate that was include with your
S3500.
Installing an SFP
Use standard ESD precautions when installing or removing an SFP.
To install an SFP module into tan S3500:
1. Slide the SFP module, top side facing upward, into a 1000Base-X port until a connection is made and an audible click is heard.
2. Lock the SFP in place by moving the latch on the module to an upright position, facing the top of the module.

Connecting an LC Fiber Optic Cable
To connect an LC fiber optic cable into an SFP-SX or SFP-LX module:
1. Clean the fiber optic cable connector before inserting it into the SFP+.
2. Insert the fiber optic cable into the SFP module. Ensure that the latch on the cable faces the top of the
SFP module.
3. Slide the cable into place until a connection is made and an audible click is heard.
To disconnect an LC fiber optic cable from an SFP-SX or SFP-LX module:
