Mounting the switch in a two-post rack
Four-Post Rack Mount Option
The Aruba 4100i switch can be mounted in four-post racks and cabinets by using the Aruba X414 1U
Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (JL9583B) (sold separately).
For safe operation, read the mounting precautions in
Installation Precautions and Guidelines on page 35
before
mounting a switch.
The rack rails are intended for ease of installation only, do not use rails to support the switch in any extended
position. Switch must be immediately secured with screws after installation.
For rack mounting, do not physically stack equipment on top of another. Ensure an air gap of at least 2U. If only 1U
or 1.75 in. (44.5 mm) of air gap is available, do not exceed 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient
temperature.
The 12-24 screws supplied with the four-post rack mount kit are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open
19- inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws
that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with four-post rack mount kit (JL9583B).
