Arista KIT-7010-2P-OS-RK | Rack Mount Kit for 7010T/720 Switches, 2-Post

Q: Which Arista switch models are compatible with this rack mount kit?
A: The KIT-7010-2P-OS-RK is compatible with Arista 7010T series switches (including 7010T-48 models) and 720 series 1RU switches (including 720XP, 720D, and Cognitive Campus 720 models). It provides secure 2-post rack mounting for these 1RU platforms.

Q: Does this kit work with both 2-post and 4-post racks?
A: Yes, while designed as a 2-post mounting kit, it can be installed in four-post racks as it attaches to only two posts. The installation process is identical for both rack types, providing flexibility in data center and server room deployments.

Q: What hardware is included in the mounting kit?
A: The kit includes mounting brackets and associated hardware needed to attach the brackets to the switch chassis. Rack mounting screws or cage nuts required to secure the assembly to rack posts are not included and must be sourced separately according to your specific rack requirements.

Q: Is this a replacement or spare kit, or does it come with new switches?
A: This is a spare accessory kit sold separately. New Arista 7010T and 720 series switches typically include a standard accessory kit with the switch. This SKU allows you to purchase additional mounting kits for reinstallation, replacement, or deploying switches that were originally configured for surface mounting.

Q: Are there any special tools required for installation?
A: Installation requires basic tools including a screwdriver (typically Phillips head). You will also need appropriate rack mounting screws or cage nuts and bolts for your specific equipment rack, as these fasteners are not included with the kit.
