Installation precautions and guidelines
To help avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following installation
precautions and guidelines.
WARNING:
• To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable, tilting, and/or falling over, ensure
that it is adequately secured.
• Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at
the bottom, and progressively lighter devices positioned higher. Note, however, that the
preferred position for the fanless Aruba Instant On 1930 switches is at the base of the rack
or cabinet (for optimal cooling) or below as many of the other products as can be
accommodated.
• If you wall-mount the switch, the network ports must face upward or downward (that is,
toward or away from the floor). Do not wall-mount the switch with the side ventilation holes
facing up or down.
This section provides precautions and guidelines to observe when installing your switch.
