Frequently Asked Questions

Why is JW759A sold without a PSU?

The No PSU configuration allows customers to select the appropriate Aruba 5406R power supply based on their data center or wiring closet's power requirements (wattage) and airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front). Separating the chassis from the PSU prevents ordering mismatches and enables correct airflow alignment for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center deployments.

What is the zl2 architecture and how does it benefit campus deployments?

The Aruba 5400R zl2 chassis features a high-capacity non-blocking switching fabric with 6 module slots. The zl2 architecture supports field-upgradeable line cards for port density, interface type, and feature expansion — enabling investment protection as network needs evolve without replacing the entire chassis.

Can JW759A be managed via Aruba Central?

Yes — Aruba 5400R zl2 switches running ArubaOS-Switch support Aruba Central cloud management for centralized configuration, monitoring, firmware management, and analytics across distributed campus and data center deployments.
