To mount the 8-port switches, follow these steps: 1. In the required location, mark the position for the mounting screws. The hole-to-hole distance is 4.961 inch (126 mm) for JL680A and 6.575 inch (167 mm) for JL681A. 2. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and two of the included 20-mm M4 tap screws. Set the screw heads approximately 2 mm away from the mounting surface to allow the switch to slide onto the screws.
Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and switch power cord to the table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent tripping over the cords. Aruba Instant On 1930 Installation and Getting Started Guide...
NOTE: Nothing should be placed on top of the switch. Adequate spacing on all sides needs to be maintained for ventilation. 4. Connect the switch to a power source Procedure 1. For JL680A switches, connect the AC/DC adapter’s power cord to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then plug the AC/DC power adapter into a nearby, properly grounded electrical outlet.
