Depending on the model, the S1500 Mobility Access Switch is equipped with 12, 24, or 48 10/100/
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is
bi-directional, which means, the same pair is used for both data transmission and data reception. Figure 6
illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for a RJ-45 connector. The pins paired on a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.
All Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE, providing up to 15.4 W of DC
power, and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), supplying up to 30.0 W of DC power to
connected devices, but the power per port is subject to the total power available in the chassis.
For more information on PoE and S1500 power supplies, see “Power Supply” on page15.

CONSOLE Port
Use the serial CONSOLE port to allow direct local management. This port is a RJ-45 female connector that
accepts an RS-232 serial cable with a male connector. In the S1500-12P, this port is in the front panel but in
the S1500-24P or S1500-48P model, this port is in the back panel.
Figure 9 Serial CONSOLE Port Pin-Out
The communication settings for the CONSOLE port is shown in the following table:
USB Interface
The S1500 Mobility Access Switch is equipped with a USB 2.0 port. A USB storage device can be used to
save and upload configurations to the Mobility Access Switch. In the S1500-12P model, this port is in the
front panel but in the S1500-24P or S1500-48P model, this port is in the back panel.
SHUTDOWN LED
The S1500 Mobility Access Switch is equipped with a SHUTDOWN LED. In the S1500-12P model, this LED is
renamed as SHUT, and is available in the front panel below the PWR, STAT, and STK LEDs. In the S1500-
24P or S1500-48P model, this LED is available in the back panel.
The SHUTDOWN LED serves two functions:
If you execute the halt command from the CLI, the SHUTDOWN LED turns red when the system
completely halts.
If the temperature of the S1500 exceeds the temperature threshold, the SHUTDOWN LED turns On.
In the S1500-12P model, by default, uplink port 1 is set as the ArubaStack port and in the S1500-24P or S1500-48P
model, by default, uplink ports 2 and 3 are set as ArubaStack ports. The ArubaStack ports are indicated by a box
around the port number. The ArubaStack ports can be manually converted to non-ArubaStack ports from the CLI.

If any of the components of the S1500 reach the designated temperature threshold, the SHUTDOWN
LED will turn On and the S1500 will turn Off to avoid damage. The CPU threshold temperature is 203 ºF
(95 ºC).
Security Slot
The S1500-12P model includes a Kensington™ security slot on the back panel. This slot allows you to lock
and secure the S1500-12P Mobility Access Switch in the installation site using a standard cable lock (sold
separately).
Power Supply
The S1500 Mobility Access Switch is equipped with an integrated AC power supply. The integrated power
supply supports both system and PoE power. The power supply provided is dependent on the S1500 model.
S1500-12P: 150W (120W of PoE power and 30W of system power)
S1500-24P or S1500-48P: 580W (400W of PoE power and 180W of system power)
PoE
The S1500 series support PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) to provide power to connected devices. PoE/
PoE+ is enabled by default to provide plug and play capability for PoE capable devices. The S1500 series
has three PoE management modes:
Dynamic mode: This is the default mode. The per port power budgeted from the total power supplied
from the PSUs is equal the amount of power consumed by the port.
Static mode: The maximum power available on a specific port is the power configured on that port by
the user. This mode ensures that the maximum power specified by the user is reserved and not shared
with other ports.
Class-based mode: The power allotted to the port is the maximum amount of power for the class of
powered device connected to that port.
PoE Priority
Ports with a higher priority receive power before ports with a lower priority. You can configure port priority
to ensure that the necessary devices receive power whenever possible. However, if any of the ports have
the same priority, the port with the higher interface number stops receiving power first.
For example:
If port 4 and port 7 have the same priority (configured in PoE profile) but there is not enough power for
both, the S1500 will eliminate port 7 first.
The S1500 software also sends traps to provide a warning when the system temperature approaches the system
tolerance. Additionally, you can monitor the current system status using the CLI. For more information on traps and
system monitoring, see the ArubaOS 7.2 User Guide.
For more information on PoE and PoE management, see the ArubaOS 7.2 User Guide.
16 | S1500 Mobility Access Switch Aruba S1500 Series Mobility Access Switch | Installation Guide
SFP Modules
SFP Modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit Ethernet transceivers that provide
optical or copper connections to other devices.
Aruba tests and supports Aruba approved optics within their Mobility Access Switch devices. Non-approved third
party optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Aruba does not guarantee proper functionality of non-approved
