Aruba 500W Hot-Plug Redundant Power Supply Flex Slot

Overview

The Aruba JX922A is a 500 W hot-plug redundant power supply designed to maintain continuous operation of Aruba network equipment. It fits into a Flex Slot bay, optimizing space without compromising power delivery. This module supports hot swapping, allowing technicians to replace or add power supplies without shutting down the switch or controller, which helps avoid planned downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

With built-in redundancy, installing two of these modules in a compatible chassis shares the electrical load. If one unit fails or is removed, the other continues powering the system, ensuring uninterrupted network traffic in environments such as campus cores, branch closets, or data-center racks. Its 80 Plus Platinum certification enhances energy efficiency by minimizing electricity waste and heat output, reducing cooling needs and operational costs. The universal 100 to 240 V AC input supports global deployment without requiring additional transformers.
