Figure 20: Mounting the switch in a two-post rack
Four-post rack mount option:
The Aruba 8325 switch can be mounted in four-post racks and cabinets by using the Aruba X474 4-Post Rack Kit
(JL483B, JL483C); sold separately.
The JL483B, JL483C Aruba X474 4-Post Rack Kit includes these items:
• two front-post brackets
• two rear-post brackets with adjustable ears
• twenty 6-mm M4 screws
• eight 5/8-inch number 12-24 screws
• two rear bracket ear position-locking screws
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 6-mm M4 screws.
For safe, reliable installation, only use the screws provided in the accessory kit to attach the mounting
brackets to the switch.
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.
