Four-Post Rack Mount Option - Aruba 8360 Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

Four-Post Rack Mount Option

The Aruba 8360 switch can be mounted in four-post racks and cabinets by using the Aruba X414 1U
Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (J9583B).
For safe operation, please read the mounting precautions in
mounting a switch.
The rack rails are intended for ease of installation only, do not use rails to support the switch in any extended
position. Switch must be immediately secured with screws after installation.
The 12-24 screws supplied with the four-post rack mount kit 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 four-post rack mount kit (J9583B).
Complete step 1, and plan which holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to
step 2.
1. Use a T20 drive screwdriver and attach the front-post and rear-post rack mount brackets to the
switch with the included 8-mm M4 screws.

For safe, reliable installation, only use the screws provided in the accessory kit to attach the mounting brackets
to the switch.
2. Attach the rack slides to the sides of the switch using eight 8-mm M4 screws. Four screws per slide.
3. Install rack rail assemblies to the four-post rack, see the Start Here guide for your four-post rack
(J9583B).
4. Hold the switch with attached brackets and slides up to the rack and align, then insert the inner rack
slides into the rack rail assemblies. Insert and tighten two number 10-32 screws, attaching the rack
slides to the rack rail assemblies.
