Aruba 2930F 8G Switch Quick Setup Guide and
Safety/Regulatory Information

NOTE: The switch drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your
particular switch model.

NOTE: For switch and accessories installation information, browse to the manuals for your
switch model at www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceCenter.

Aruba 2930F warm product and other mounting information

• If you are mounting the Aruba 2930F 8G switch in a rack with other products, the preferred
position for the switch is at the base of the rack (for optimal cooling), or below as many of
the other products as can be accomodated, while still ensuring that the Installation Precautions
(under the WARNING!, below) regarding weight distribution are observed.

• When mounted in a rack, ensure that a 1U (44.45 mm / 1.75-inch) vertical rack space exists
between the Aruba 2930F 8G switch and the device above it.

• When mounting the Aruba 2930F 8G switch on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal
surface, ensure that the supplied four rubber mounting feet are placed on the bottom of the
switch, as shown (under “Tabletop or desktop mounting” (page 9) ). This is required to
provide the proper thermal spacing between the switch and the mounting surface.

• Avoid obstructing the ventilation holes on the top, sides, and back of the switch.

• Do not install the Aruba 2930F 8G switch in a confined space that does not allow a free air

flow.

• When installing the switch in an enclosed space containing free air flow, ensure that any
adjacent surfaces are at least 15.3 cm (6 inches) from the sides and back of the switch.

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.

4 Aruba 2930F 8G Switch Quick Setup Guide and Safety/Regulatory Information

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 the AC adapter 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” (page 15) 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.

• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and
AC adapter, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the AC adapter’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’s AC adapter and power supply.

• When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily
accessible in case the switch’s AC adapter must be powered off.

• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds
its specification. See the section titled “Aruba 2930F Switch Safety and Regulatory

Information” (page 15).

• Ensure the switch’s AC adapter 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’s AC adapter 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.

• For a wall-mounted Aruba 2930F 8G 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).

• Do not install the Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ switch in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature might exceed its specification. When mounting the switch in a rack,
ensure that a 1U (44.45mm/1.75-inch) vertical space is left for cooling between the switch
and the device above it, and at least 15.3 cm (6 inches) of space around the sides and back
of the switch. When mounted in a fully enclosed rack or cabinet, ensure that the air flow for
cooling around the top, sides, and back of the switch is not restricted. Installing the Aruba
2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch in an enclosed, confined space such as a small bookshelf
or unventilated cabinet is not recommended.

Power supply operation

The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP SwitchAruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP Switch does not have a
power switch. It is powered on when the external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the
switch and the adapter power cord to a properly grounded power source. The external AC/DC
power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60
Hz. The external AC/DC power adapter supplies 54 volts DC to the switch. No voltage range
settings are required.

For more information, see the information on connecting a management console in the

Aruba 2930F Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.

2. (Optional) Insert transceivers.

12 Aruba 2930F 8G Switch Quick Setup Guide and Safety/Regulatory Information

NOTE: To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only genuine HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+
transceivers supported by your switch. For more information on using transceivers, see

“SFP/SFP+ installation notes” (page 14).

3. Connect network cables.

NOTE: In the factory default configuration, the switch automatically obtains its IP network

settings from a DHCP or BootP server after connecting to the network. If you do not use direct
console access to initially determine the switch IP address, you can determine the assigned IP
address by inspecting your DHCP/BootP server or by querying LLDP information from another,
directly connected neighbor switch. CLI LLDP commands for an ArubaOS neighbor switch are
listed below.

SFP/SFP+ installation notes

NOTE: To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the genuine HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+
transceivers supported by your switch. When selecting a fiber SFP device, make sure it can
function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature
of the product. Use only approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceivers.

Use only genuine HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+ transceivers

Non-HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+ transceivers are not supported. Use of genuine HPE Aruba products
ensures that your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. Should you require
additional transceivers, please contact an HPE Aruba sales representative or an authorized
reseller. For transceiver support information for your switch model, see the following two support
matrixes in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at www.hpe.com/networking/
ResourceCenter:

• HPE Networking Legacy ProCurve Product Family Mini-GBIC and SFP Support Matrix

• HPE Networking Legacy ProCurve Product Family 10–GBE Transceiver Support Matrix

Hot Swapping SFP/SFP+ transceivers

Supported SFP/SFP+ transceivers that you can install in your HPE Aruba switch can be “hot
swapped” – removed and installed while the switch is receiving power. However, you should
disconnect the network cables from the SFP/SFP+ transceivers before hot-swapping them.

When you replace an SFP/SFP+ transceiver with another of a different type, the switch may
retain selected port-specific configuration settings that were configured for the replaced unit. Be
sure to validate or reconfigure port settings as required.

SFP/SFP+ connections to devices with fixed speed/duplex configurations

When connecting a device to your switch port that contains an SFP/SFP+ transceiver, the speed
and duplex settings of the switch port and the connected device must match. Otherwise, you
may not get a link. For some older network devices, including some older Hewlett Packard
Enterprise devices, the default speed/duplex settings may be predefined (for example, to 1000
Mbps/Full Duplex), or otherwise set differently from the default configuration of your switch port.
Because of these default speed/duplex considerations, you should make sure that devices
connected to your SFP/SFP+ ports are properly configured. At a minimum, make sure the

configurations match.
