• 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 that 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. See Power cords on page
11 for acceptable 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
that the cord is adequately sized for the current requirements of the switch. 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/region. 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 must be near the switch and 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 Aruba 2930F Switch safety and regulatory information on page 13.
• Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add 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 printed on the devices, near the AC power
connectors.
• Ensure that 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 at Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Information Library.

Preparing for installation
1. Unpack and check the included parts:
• Switch
• Accessory kit (installation hardware)
• Power cord
• Documentation kit
2. Prepare for installation.
To avoid personal injury or product damage, review Installation precautions on page 4 before
beginning the installation.
3. Power on and verify that self-test completes normally. An Aruba 2930F 24G/48G PoE+ / non PoE+ 4SFP /
4SFP+ Switch does not contain a power on/off switch. It is turned on by connecting the AC power cord to the
switch and to an AC power source.
