Installation precautions and guidelines
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, 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 installed above.
• To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is
adequately secured.
• Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the Installation and Getting
Started Guide for your switch. 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.
• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power
supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current 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. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely
with the switch and power supply.
• When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and be easily accessible in
case the switch must be powered off.
• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. (See the Environmental Operating Temperature information.)
• 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 are usually printed on the devices near the AC power
connectors.
• 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 Installation and Getting Started Guide for your product
on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at http://www.hpe.com/support/
manuals.
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.
Install cover plates on any slot that is not in use.

Chapter 2
Prepare for installation
1. Unpack and check included parts:
• Switch
◦two power supplies (JL480A)
◦five fan trays (JL481A)
• Installation hardware (JL482A):
◦two rack mounting brackets
◦eight 8-mm M4 screws
◦four 5/8-inch number 12-24 screws
•Powercord
• Documentation kit
2. Prepare for installation.
3. Skip this step if a power supply is already installed in the switch.
If a power supply is not already installed in the switch, install at least one power supply before continuing in this
guide. (See the Aruba Switch Power Supply Quick Setup Guide and Safety/Regulatory Information document
shipped with your power supply units.) The Aruba 8320 switch uses any of the following power supplies:
• Aruba X371 400W 100-240VAC Power Supply (JL480A)
4. Power on the switch. An Aruba 8320 switch does not contain a power on/off switch. It is turned on by
connecting the AC power cord to the switch and to an AC power source.
The switch drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your particular
switch.
To avoid personal injury or product damage, review the Installation precautions and guidelines
before beginning the installation.

Mount the switch and connect to the network
Supported mounting options for the Aruba 8320 switch includes:
• Two-post rack mount using JL482A Aruba X472 2-Post Rackmount Bracket Kit.
• Four-post rack mount (Requires the optional JL483A Aruba X474 4-Post Rackmount Bracket Kit.)
Prerequisites
Before beginning installation:
• Review the Installation precautions and guidelines.
• Prepare the switch for installation.
• Prepare your network data cables (not included) for connecting the switch to the network.
Mounting the switch in a two-post rack
The JL482A Aruba X472 2-Post Rackmount Bracket Kit (included with the switch) includes these items:
• two rack mounting brackets
• eight 8-mm M4 screws
• four 5/8-inch number 12-24 screws
Procedure
1. Attach the rack mount brackets to the switch by using a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and the supplied
eight 8-mm M4 screws.
The brackets must only be attached for mid-mounting the switch in a two-post rack. Ensure the holes in the
bracket are aligned with the correct holes in the switch, as per the diagram.
Do not mount the switch on a wall, under a table, or under any other horizontal surface.
