Aruba and HP · Switch · 2013
HP's 2013 install guide for the 2530 family lists twelve models, and the J9773A is the 24-port gigabit PoE+ one. It has 24 PoE+ gigabit ports and four SFP slots, and HPE's parts listing gives it up to 30 W per device and 190 W in total. That's six access points or cameras at full draw, or more if they sip power. Early units wear the HP badge. After HP bought Aruba Networks in 2015, it folded its own switching into Aruba, and the same J9773A was sold as the Aruba 2530 24G PoE+. Unlike the fanless 2530-24, this one has fans. HP rates it at 43.9 dB at the virtual workspace, the loudest of the 24-port 2530s, so put it in a closet or a rack. Home-labbers buy it to power a few access points from one managed switch. If you don't need PoE, the 2530-24G is quieter at 34 dB.
Lab check
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
Most trouble is the previous owner's config and passwords, not the hardware. Remember the 190 W total when you plan what it will power.
Buying your first used switch or router? How to check used network gear covers the console, a factory reset, power supplies and optics, and our noise and power guide covers what fans and power draw mean at home.
Buying guide
We'd buy mr.itparts' J9773A at $45 with free shipping, the cheapest here, with a power cord in the photo. There are at least 96 for sale and most ask $70–120 delivered around an $86 median, but more than a dozen US units ask under $80, so you can hold out for rack ears or a power cord. None of the cheap ones is titled tested or reset, so ask for show power-over-ethernet with the 190 W budget, and check the label says J9773A, since titles like ARUBA 2530-24G J9773A SWITCH drop the PoE and the non-PoE J9776A looks the same. It has fans and HP rates it at 43.9 dB, the loudest 24-port 2530, so it belongs in a closet or rack. Skip vaa666's listing at $947 delivered with a 3-year warranty, about 11 times the median.
