n All Aruba Instant On 1430 Switches support table-top mounting.
n All Aruba Instant On 1430 Switches support rack-mounting except R8R44A and R8R45A.
n All Aruba Instant On 1430 Switches support wall-mounting with ports facing either up or down.
n All Aruba Instant On 1430 Switches support under-table mounting.
o
R8R44A, R8R45A, and R8R46A must be mounted upsided down using the base surface mounting
holes.
o
R8R47A, R8R48A, R8R49A, and R8R50A must be mounted top surface up using the brackets
provided.
l To prevent possible impact to long-term reliability, product should not be mounted upside-down.
Use only Aruba-supported transceivers.
n Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the AC power
source by using the power cord supplied with the switch.
n Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping
hazard.
n
Do not use a damaged or non-recommended power cord or AC/DC power supply with your switch.
Using such power cords or AC/DC power supplies voids the switch and power supply warranty. It can
also cause serious electrical problems, including risk of injury, death, or damage to the switch and other
property. If you cannot verify that you have a power cord or AC/DC power supply approved for use with
your switch model, contact Aruba customer service for assistance.
n
Only Aruba-approved power cords may be used with Aruba devices. To access power cord information
for your switch, see Included Parts. Lost or damaged power cords must be replaced only with Aruba-
approved power cords. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the
switch and/or power supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current requirements of
the switch. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines
the regulations for power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord
can be used safely with the switch and power supply.
n When installing the switch, the AC outlet must be near the switch and easily accessible in case the
switch must be powered off.
n Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits:
1. Add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch.
2. Compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit.
The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
n Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the top, sides, rear, or front of the switch.
n Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
n Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. See environmental and physical specifications for more information.
