Do you know the cable is working? Also, some switches have a mgmt port and console port close to each other, both RJ45. You will need to plug in the console port for serial connection, the mgmt port is an ethernet port.

I have the same issue - enter 3 times does not do anything. Black screen with a blinking cursor is all I get in putty.

Have you tried <enter> <enter> <enter> (three times the enter key)?
The ArubaOS console will wake up only after that sequence.
