Aruba 6100 12G switches warm product and other mounting information
If you are mounting the 12G switch (JL679A or R8N89A) in a rack with other products, the preferred
n
position for the switch is at the base of the rack (for optimal cooling), or underneath as many of the
other products as can be accommodated.
When mounted in a rack, the best practice is to ensure that a 2U (88.9 mm / 3.5 inch) vertical space is left
n
between the switch and the device above it. Minimally, a 76.2 mm / 3 inch space is required.
When mounting the switches on a wall or on a horizontal surface, ensure that the supplied four rubber
n
mounting feet are placed on the bottom of the switch. This provision is required to provide the proper
thermal spacing between the switch and the mounting surface.
Avoid obstructing the ventilation holes on the top, sides, front, and back of the switch.
n
Do not install the switches in a confined space that prevents a free air flow.
n
When installing the switch in an enclosed space containing free air flow, ensure that any adjacent
n
surfaces are at least 15.3 cm (6 inches) from the top, sides, and back of the switch.
Mounting Aruba 6000 and 6100 12G switches with ports facing upward is not supported.
Physically stacking any switch model on top of a JL679A and R8N89A switch can interrupt the flow of warm air
through the vents in the top of the JL679A and R8N89A switch and is not supported.

Rack or cabinet mounting

All switches can be mounted in a rack. The switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch
Telco rack or communication equipment cabinet.
The 24-port and 48-port switches can also be mounted in 4-post racks and cabinets by using the X410
Switch Rail Kit (J9583A). For instructions on using the kit, see the documentation included with the kit.
If a 24-port or 48-port switch is to be shipped in a rack, it can be mounted and shipped in a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise 10K rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack Mounting Kit (J9583A). Additionally, it can also be mounted
in any four post rack using the HPE X410 Universal Rack Mounting Kit (J9583A).
Some mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated, allowing for a wide variety of
mounting options. Secure the rack in accordance with the manufacture's safety guidelines.
