Installing the switch | 33
n
Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping
hazard.
n
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its specification.
For operating temperature information, see Physical and environmental specifications.
n
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.
n
Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the sides, rear, or front of the switch.
n
Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted.

For Aruba 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W Switch (R8Q72A) and Aruba 6200F 12G Class4 PoE
2G/2SFP+ 139W TAA Switch (R8V13A) models: In the front or the back of the switch, leave at least 15.24
cm (6 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
o
For all other 24- and 48-port models: In the front or the back of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches)
of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
n
A slot cover plate MUST be secured over any power supply slot that does not contain a power supply unit. This
is required for proper air flow and thermal operation. Leaving a power supply slot uncovered can cause an
over-temperature condition inside the switch that can result in the switch shutting down. During replacement
of a power supply unity, it is acceptable to allow the slot to remain uncovered for up to two minutes in a switch
connected to a power source (applicable to 6200M models only).
n
Marking label (includes power rating) is at the bottom of the switch.
n
This switch equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
NOTE:
n
Use only supported Aruba transceivers and DACcabes.
n
The Aruba CX 6200F/M switch port side transceiver slots support SFP and SFP+ transceivers.

Cabling Infrastructure: Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications.
See Cabling and technology information for more information.
Installation Location: Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:
