Installation precautions

WARNING!
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable
and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest
devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
CAUTION:
Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the Aruba 2930F Switches
Installation and Getting Started Guide. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the switch to connect it to the power source.
Use only approved power cords with your Aruba Networking Product. Please see the power
cord information in the section titled
power cords that are appropriate for this product. Failure to use approved power cords can
result in personal injury and product damage, and may void your product warranty.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be
sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch's current requirements. In addition, be sure
to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be
used safely with the switch and power supply.
When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily
accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds
its specification. See the section titled
Information" (page
Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere
ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with
the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices,
near the AC power connectors.
Ensure the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for
cooling on the sides and rear of the switch. For other available air flow information, see the
Aruba 2930F Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide, located on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Information Library at www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceCenter.
