Mounting an Aruba 8325 switch

The supported mounting options for the Aruba 8325 switch include:
• Two-post rack mount (JL482B, JL482C; sold separately)
• Four-post rack mount (JL483B, JL483C; sold separately)
See "Installation precautions" before mounting your switch.

Two-post rack mount option:

The switch is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or communication equipment cabinet
using the Aruba X472 2-Post Rack Kit (JL482B, JL482C; sold separately).
The mounting brackets must only be attached for mid-mounting the switch in a two-post rack. Secure the rack in
accordance with the manufacturer's safety guidelines.
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 four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips.
Then proceed to step 2.
1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to the switch with the included
eight 6-mm M4 screws.
The brackets must only be attached for mid-mounting the switch in a two-post rack. Ensure the holes in the
bracket are aligned with the correct holes in the switch, as per the diagram.
