HPE JL086A Aruba X372 680W AC Redundant Power Supply
Overview
The HPE JL086A is the Aruba X372, a high-efficiency 680-watt AC power supply engineered to deliver consistent and reliable power for demanding network environments. Designed specifically for integration with compatible HPE Aruba switch series, its primary function is to power the switch chassis and to supply the necessary budget for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This unit is critical for organizations looking to build resilient, high-availability networks. This power supply provides a stable 54V DC output, essential for supporting a full load of PoE+ devices across a compatible switch. Its hot-pluggable design is a key technical benefit, allowing administrators to install or replace the module without scheduling downtime or interrupting network services. The universal AC input range of 100-240V ensures it can be deployed globally in a variety of power environments without requiring additional converters, simplifying procurement and deployment for multinational organizations. Physically, the JL086A is a compact module designed for easy insertion into the power supply bay of supported switch chassis, such as the Aruba 2930M and 3810M series. It can be deployed in a primary power role or as a secondary, redundant unit. In a dual-supply configuration, it provides 1+1 redundancy, ensuring that the switch remains fully operational in the unlikely event of a primary power supply failure. This capability is crucial for maintaining network uptime for business-critical applications.
