This chapter shows how to install the switch. The 2930F switches come with an accessory kit that includes the
brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, and with rubber feet
that can be attached so the switch can be securely located on a horizontal surface. The brackets are designed to
allow mounting the switch in a variety of locations and orientations. The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch
(JL258A) also includes brackets that enable it to be mounted on a wall or under a table. For other mounting
options contact your local Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized network reseller or Hewlett Packard Enterprise
representative.

If an Aruba 2930F 24G or 48G switch is to be shipped in a rack, it can be mounted and shipped in a
Hewlett Packard Enterprise 10K rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack Mounting Kit (J9583A).
Additionally, it can also be mounted in any four post rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack
Mounting Kit (J9583A).

The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch is not designed for shipping in a rack.
