Prepare the installation site
Cabling Infrastructure
: Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications.
Installation Location
: Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:
n
In the front of the switch, leave a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-

Cooling air flow in Aruba 10000 switches is Port-to-Power or Power-to-Port, depending on which power
supply and fan tray options are installed. To reverse the cooling air flow direction in an 10000 switch, you
must replace the existing power supplies and fan trays with power supplies and fan trays having the
opposite air flow direction. All fan trays and power supplies installed in an 10000 switch must have the same
air flow direction. See
for further detail.
To avoid personal injury or product damage, review
Installation precautions and guidelines
before starting
installation.
Install power supplies
