Management ports

Console Ports
There are two serial console port options on the switch, an RJ-45 or Micro USB. These ports are used to connect a console to the switch either by using the RJ-45 serial cable supplied with the switch, or a standard Micro USB cable (not supplied). The Micro USB connector has precedence for input. If both cables are plugged in, the console output is echoed to both the RJ-45 and the Micro-USB ports, but the input is only accepted from the Micro-USB port.
For more information on the console connection, see can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
(Optional) Connect a management console. The console

DC power jack (JL258A)

Power connector

The 2930F 24-port and 48-port switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch (JL258A) does not have a power switch, it is powered on when the external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the switch and to a power source. The external AC/DC power adapter supplies 54 volts DC to the switch and automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required. Be sure to release the latch on the DC plug before removing the adapter power cord. (See Figure 19: Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch power plug latch on page 37.)

Switch features

The features of the 2930F switches include:
• Combinations of fixed 10/100/1000-T and SFP/SFP+ ports, as described under Network ports on page 8.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE+) operation (JL255A, JL256A, JL258A, JL261A, JL262A, JL263A, JL264A, JL557A, JL558A, JL559A)—The PoE+ switches are IEEE 802.3at standard compliant and provide up to 30W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, indoor web cameras, and more. For more information, see the latest version of the HPE Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, available from
http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals.
16 Aruba 2930F Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide
The switches support 802.3af and 802.3at standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for your switch model. PoE is enabled by default. (For more information, see the 2930F Management and Configuration Guide for your switch at http:// www.hpe.com/support/manuals.
• Plug-and-play networking. All ports are enabled by default, just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.
• Auto MDI/MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports (10/100/1000Base-T), meaning that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that an end­node device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X. See Cabling and technology information for recommended or required cabling.
• Automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 64000-address forwarding table (with configurable address aging value).
• Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto­negotiating devices. The SFP/SFP+ ports always operate at full duplex.
• Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
◦ Console interface: A full-featured, easy-to-use, VT-100 terminal interface for out-of-band or in-band switch
management.
◦ Web browser interface: An easy-to-use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed from common
web browsers.
◦ Aruba AirWave: A powerful and easy-to-use network operations system that manages wired and wireless

Installation procedures

Procedure
1. Prepare the installation site on page 24.
Ensure the physical environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the switch. See Installation precautions on page 23 for some installation precautions.
2. Verify the switch passes self test on page 24.
Plug the switch into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation. When self test is complete, unplug the switch.
3. Mount the switch on page 27.
The switch can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface. The 8­port switch (JL258A) can also be mounted on a wall or under a table.
4. Install or remove SFP/SFP+ transceivers on page 34.
The switch has two or four slots for installing SFP/SFP+ transceivers. Depending on where you install the switch, it may be easier to install the transceivers first. Transceivers can be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch is powered on.
5. Connect the switch to a power source on page 36.
Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the main power source.
6. (Optional) Connect a management console on page 37.
You may want to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a Web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be made by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.
7. Connect the network cables on page 40.
Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
22 Aruba 2930F Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide

Installation precautions

• 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.
• For a wall-mounted Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch (JL258A), face the network ports up, that is, away from the floor. Do not wall-mount the switch with the network ports facing down (towards the floor).
• 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.
• 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 “Included parts” (page 17) of this guide 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.
• Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable), supplied with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including those that came with other Hewlett Packard Enterprise products, may result in damage to the equipment.
• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power supply, 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.
• 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.
• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed its specification. This includes a fully-enclosed rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling for the 24­and 48-port switch models when installed in a fully-enclosed rack.
NOTE: Normal operating temperature for the JL258A Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch requires wider spacing minimums than described above for the 24– and 48–port switch models. For rack installation, maintain at least 1U space as a minimum above the product. Also, installing this switch in an enclosed, confined space such as a small bookshelf or unventilated cabinet is not recommended.
