Introducing the Switches

RJ-45 and USB-C console ports provide CLI serial port access. The system will output to both consoles
simultaneously, but the system will only accept input from one console port. If both RJ-45 and USB-C are
connected, USB-C has priority.
The 8360 switches use a Type-A to Type-C cable to connect the USB-C console port to a USB-A laptop port. Use
an adapter (USB-C to USB-A adapter) to connect to a laptop with a Type-C port.
Power Supplies
The Aruba 8360 switch does not have a power switch; it is powered on when at least one installed power
supply is connected to an active AC power source. The power supplies automatically adjust to any voltage
between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
Never insert or remove a power supply while the power cord is connected. Verify that cord has been disconnected
from the power supply before installation or removal.
The Aruba 8360 switch power supplies adapt electrical power for use with the switch. The chassis has two
slots that can hold individual power supplies to support load sharing, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Two
color coded power supplies are available for use with Aruba 8360 switches. A red release latch indicates an
Port-to-Power cooling air flow. A blue release latch indicates a Power-to-Port cooling air flow.
System airflow direction (Port-to-Power or Power-to-Port) is configured automatically at system initialization and
cannot be reconfigured by the user. System airflow direction is determined by the power supply type installed in
PS1 at initialization time (or PS2 if PS1 is absent or faulted). Any Fan tray or Power supply of conflicting airflow type
will be disabled by the system. Ensure only matching fan trays and power supplies are used at any given runtime.
