• When mounting the Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ 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. 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 PoE+ 2SFP+ 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 top, sides, and back of the switch.
Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch rack mount option
The switch is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard two-post 19-inch telco rack or communication
equipment cabinet.
For safe operation, please read the mounting precautions in
Installation precautions
on page 23,
before mounting a switch.
When rack mounting the Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch, 1U space above the switch must be
kept open for proper ventilation.
The Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch is not designed for shipping in a rack.
The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-
inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and
screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12- 24 screws that are supplied with the switch.
Complete step 1, and plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips.
Then proceed to step 2.
1.
Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to the switch with the included
10-mm M4 screws.
