Rack Mounting the Switch 2. Slide the switch on the rails, toward the rear posts, until the mounting bracket flanges are flush with the rail flanges attached to the rack posts. 3. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack post using the quick-release thumb screws supplied with the brackets (Figure 13: Attaching the Switch to the Rack Posts).
Chapter 4 Cabling the Switch The following topics are covered in this section: • Grounding the Switch • Connecting Power Cables • Connecting Serial and Management Cables Grounding the Switch After mounting the switch into the rack, connect the switch to the data center ground. Figure 14: Earth Grounding Pad Sockets displays the location of the grounding pads located on the rear panel...
The switch operates with two installed power supplies. At least one power supply must connect to a power source. Two circuits provide redundancy protection. Rear Panel displays the location of the power supplies on the rear panel of the switch. Important: Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

Chapter 5 Configuring the Switch Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) accessible only through the console port because it has no password.
Page 30
When the management port IP address is configured, use this command to access the switch from a host, using the address configured in Step 9: ssh admin@192.0.2.8 Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for complete switch configuration information.
Appendix A Status Indicators This section covers the following topics: • Front Indicators • Rear Status Indicators Front Indicators A.1.1 Switch Indicators Front panel LEDs are located on the right side of the chassis and display system, fan, and power supply status.
