Prepare the installation site
Cabling Infrastructure: Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications. See
Cabling and technology information for more information.
Installation Location: Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment:
•
In the front of the switch, leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space for the twisted-pair and fiberoptic cabling.
•
In the back of the switch, leave at least 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of space for the power cord.
•
On the sides of the switch, leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling.
The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch (JL258A) requires more space at the front and back when
using the optional power adapter shelf and cable guard. (To attach the cable guard, see the printed
instructions included with the cable guard unit.)
Verify the switch passes self test
Before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it is working properly by plugging it into a
power source and verifying it passes its self test.
1. For the Aruba 2930F 24-port and 48-port switches, connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the
power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
