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.

left installed in the switch during shipping.
2. Install slot covers over all management module and line module slots.
3. Securely mount the switch in a compatible four-post rack or cabinet. Use the R0X37A 4-post Rack Rail Kit

For detailed mounting information, see Preparing the chassis for an optional four-post rack mount.
CAUTION: Switch packaging is not designed to accomodate transceivers installed in line

installed in line modules before preparing the switch for shipment.
