Overview product information
The Aruba 6300F/M Switch Series is a family of premium edge networking stackable switches, ideal for enterprise network access, aggregation, and core. They provide the foundation for high-performance networks supporting IoT, mobile, and cloud applications.
These switches are intended for indoor use only. They are for use in commercial applications. A typical installation is in an environmentally controlled data center. The end use environment may or may not be a restricted access location.
The switches comply with the safety standard IEC 60950-1 2nd Edition and IEC 62368-1 2nd Edition.
A tool is required to remove the top cover and the product is not considered serviceable by an operator.
Installation precautions and guidelines
To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following installation precautions and guidelines.
WARNING:
• Do not mount the switch on a wall or under a table or under another 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.
Page 2
CAUTION:
• 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 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 warranty. See the latest Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch model.
• 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. For more information on power cords, see
• When installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is near the switch. Make it 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. For operating temperature information, see the latest version of the Installation and
Getting Started Guide for your switch.
• Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection at 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.
• 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 Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch model.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Install a cover plate on any slot in the switch that is not in use.
Power cords
Aruba includes the power cord intended for use with your Aruba switch and power supply. Different countries/ regions may require different power cords. For a list of the power cords that apply to your Aruba 6300F/M switch, see the section that lists power cords in the latest edition of the Installation and Getting Started Guide for you switch product.
CAUTION: Only Aruba-approved power cords may be used with Aruba 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 Arubaapproved power cords. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and/or power supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current requirements of the switch. 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.
Page 3
WARNING: Do not use a damaged or non-recommended 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.
WARNING: Remove the power cord from the switch before mounting or dismounting the switch.
