Aruba does not support shipping rack-mounted Aruba 6400 switches in:
• Two-post racks
• Racks not certified for integrated shipping
• Racks not mounted on a shock pallet
• Racks not offered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise
• Hewlett Packard Standard Series racks
CAUTION: Shipping an Aruba 6400 switch chassis in a two-post rack is not supported and may
result in damage to the switch or components. The Aruba warranty does not apply to products
damaged or rendered defective as a result of using non-supported shipping methods.
1. Install slot covers over any empty management module, line module, or PSU slots.
2. Securely mount the switch in a compatible four-post rack or cabinet. Use the R0X37A 4-post Rack Rail Kit
as described in this guide under Mounting the chassis in a rack. Include secure installation of the
following shipping support hardware packed in the rack rail kit:
• Front (2-post) rack ears (shipped with the switch).
• Rear adapter plates and rack brackets.
For detailed mounting information, see Mounting the switch.
CAUTION: If you plan to re-ship the switch in its original packaging, remove any transceivers
installed in line modules before preparing the switch for shipment.
