4. Install the switch hardware. Unplug the AC power from the switch before installing the switch
hardware.
Rack mounting: Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver to attach the accessory kit brackets to
the switch using the eight 8-mm M4 screws. Then use the four number 12-24 screws to secure the
brackets to the rack.
NOTE: The HPE 2530 24-port and 48-port switches can also be mounted in 4-post racks
and cabinets by using the HPE X410 Switch Rail Kit (J9583A). For instructions on using the
kit, see the documentation that is included with the kit.
Table or desktop mounting: Attach the four self-adhesive pads (included in the accessory kit) to
the bottom corners of the switch and place the switch on a secure horizontal surface.
Wall or Under-Table: Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head)
screwdriver to attach the supplied brackets to the switch
using the eight 8-mm M4 screws in the orientation shown.
For wall-mounting, the network ports must be facing up or
down. Do not mount the switch with ventilation or fan ducts
facing up or down. (See Installation Precautions.)
Attach the switch to the wall or wood surface with four
5/8-inch number 12 wood or tap screws (not included).
5. Power on the switch. As shown in step 3.
6. Connect network cables.
NOTE: For transceiver connections, install and use only
HPE SFP transceivers supported by the switch.
See “SFP Installation Notes” (page 3).
7. (Optional) Configure the switch for management.
By factory default, the switch will automatically obtain its IP
network configuration from a DHCP or BootP server.
Subsequently, you can determine the IP address assigned
to the switch by inspecting your DHCP/BootP server, or by
using LLDP from a connected device.
You can also manage and configure the switch through a
console port connection. Connect a VT-100 terminal or PC
(with suitable terminal emulation software) to the switch
using the serial cable (DB-9 and RJ-45 connectors) supplied
with the switch.
For information on configuration and remote management,
see the Management and Configuration Guide for your
switch. The manuals are available at http://www.hpe.com/

SFP Installation Notes
• Use only genuine Hewlett Packard Enterprise SFPs. Non Hewlett Packard Enterprise SFP
transceivers are not supported. Use of genuine Hewlett Packard Enterprise products ensures that
your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. Should you require additional transceivers,
contact a Hewlett Packard Enterprise sales representative or an authorized reseller.
• Hot swapping SFP transceivers. Supported SFP transceivers that you can install in your Hewlett
Packard Enterprise switch can be “hot swapped”–removed and installed while the switch is receiving
* You can also connect a console to the switch via the USB
console port (cable not provided). Use a USB 2.0 high-speed
cable with a male type A (4-pin) to male micro-B (5-pin)
connector. Maximum allowable length is 5m. For more
information on using the USB console port, see the Installation
and Getting Started Guide for your switch.
