Overview product information
The Aruba Instant On 1930 Switch series are designed to meet the needs of small business network environments -
simple to setup and manage, secure and reliable. Aruba Instant On deployments can be managed through a Mobile
App supported on iOS and Android, a cloud portal that is accessible through a web browser, or a local web GUI.
These switches are intended for indoor use only. The switches comply with the safety standard IEC 60950-1, 2nd
Edition and IEC 62368-1 2nd Edition. A tool is required to remove the top cover; however, the product is not
considered serviceable by an operator.
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. For full
