• Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the Aruba 3810M Switch
Series Installation and Getting Started Guide. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
• Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with
the switch to connect it to the power source.
• 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 should 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.
• Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and 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 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,
located on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at

Do not wall-mount Aruba 3810M switches.
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.
