SolutionHi, first of all the HP 2920 and the Aruba 2920 represent the same hardware product (Aruba is basically - frontal design and chassis logo/colour apart - the new rebranded name for the "old" HP 2920).
For sure a good thing you can do - look at it as a good starting point - is to update all of your three 2920s to the same latest Firmware available so they will run the same ArubaOS-Switch (which is the current evolution of the old HP ProVision Operating System) Operating System version.
Said so if you want to deploy the topology described you need to purchase another J9731A 2 Ports SFP+ Module for your 3rd 2920 Switch (the one you want to connect to the 1st Switch) and then using another J9285B (DAC Cable) create a single port Port Trunk between 1st 2920 Switch 2nd SFP+ port (J9731A) and the 3rd 2920 Switch 1st SFP+ port (J9731A).
Ports of the J9731A Module can be used indipendently (so the J9731A on your 1st Switch will have both connected through DAC Cables to your remaining switches).
Since you said you are using 7 meters long DAC Cables (this make me think your three switches are very near each other), have you considered to stack them - using specific Stacking Module(s) + Stacking Cable(s) - instead of doing single port Port Trunk(ing) between them or are you somewhat forced to do Port Trunk(ing) due to your network topology/logic/requirement?
