This chapter shows how to install the switch. The 2930M switches come with an accessory kit that includes the
brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack or in an equipment cabinet. Also included are
rubber feet that can be attached so the switch can be securely positioned on a horizontal surface. The brackets
are designed to allow mounting the switch in a variety of locations and orientations. For other mounting options,
contact your local Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized network reseller or Hewlett Packard Enterprise
representative.
Shipping the switch in a rack
