Aruba 8325 Switch Installation and Getting Started Guide
The brackets must only be attached for front-flush mounting the switch in a four-post rack. Secure the rack in
accordance with the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
1.
Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the front- and rear-post rack mount brackets to the
switch with the included 8-mm M4 screws.

2.
For the rear-post brackets, use an additional two 8-mm M4 screws to secure the bracket at the mid-point on
the side of the switch.
3.
Hold the switch with attached brackets up to the rack, move it vertically until rack holes line up with the front-
post bracket holes, and then insert and tighten the four number 12-24 screws holding the brackets to the rack.
For safe operation, please read the mounting precautions in
Installation precautions
, before
mounting a switch.
The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch 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 the switch.
Complete step 1, and plan which holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then
proceed to step 2.
For safe, reliable installation, only use the screws provided in the accessory kit to attach the
mounting brackets to the switch.
