Rack or cabinet mounting
All switches, except the Aruba Instant On 1930 8G 2SFP Switch (JL680A), 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.
WARNING: For safe operation, please read before mounting the switch.
NOTE: The screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open
19-inch racks. If you are 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 screws that are supplied with
the switch.
Complete the following step 1 to attach brackets to the switch. Then, plan which four holes you
will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to step 2 to install the switch
in the cabinet.

included 8-mm M4 screws.
