HPE R0X31A Aruba CX 6400 Management Module
Overview
The HPE R0X31A is a dedicated management module intended for the Aruba CX 6400 family of modular chassis switches (such as the CX 6405 or CX 6410). If you’re deploying a CX 6400-series chassis and need the central management/control element to run the chassis backplane, monitor line-cards, fan trays and PSUs, this module is the required insert. It provides the “brain” of the switch chassis: handling chassis-level firmware, management interface, system monitoring and control. With this module installed, you gain full chassis-management visibility and control across all line-cards and subsystems in the 6400 platform.This is essential if you are managing a compact modular switch in an access aggregation wiring room or data-centre top-of-rack where you want centralized management of multiple line-cards (1/10/25/50/100 GbE) and chassis-level features like VSX, redundant fabrics and monitoring. The R0X31A fits into the slot designated for the management/control module and must be paired with compatible line-cards and chassis components.
Key Features
- Designed for the Aruba CX 6400 series chassis (management module slot-in) enabling full chassis configuration and monitoring.
- Integrates with the system management plane — handling firmware updates, system logs, chassis health (PSU, fans, temperature) and interface status.
- Enables chassis-wide feature support (such as VSX, stacking, line-card control) in the CX 6400 modular architecture.
- Compatible with the family of CX 6400 chassis (5-slot/10-slot versions) and supported line-cards—ensures consistent platform management across access/aggregation.
- Allows network engineers to unify management of multi-slot chassis rather than dealing with standalone switches—good for campus wiring closets or data-centre edges.
