Arista KIT-7101 | Tool-Free 4-Post Rack Mount Kit, 22-32 Inch Depth

Q: Which Arista switches is the KIT-7101 compatible with?
A: The KIT-7101 is compatible with Arista 1RU switches from the 7000 Series, including the 7050X4, 7060X5, 7132LB, 7280R3, and similar data center switch models that use the tool-free mounting system.

Q: What rack depths does this mounting kit support?
A: The KIT-7101 supports standard four-post rack depths from 22 to 32 inches. For deeper racks (32 to 42 inches), consider the KIT-7101-LD-RK extended mounting kit instead.

Q: Can I mix parts from KIT-7101 with older KIT-7001 kits?
A: No, Arista explicitly recommends not mixing parts between incompatible kits such as KIT-7001/2 and KIT-7101/2. The KIT-7101 parts are marked with a double triangle symbol to prevent confusion.

Q: Does the KIT-7101 support switches with deep chassis requirements?
A: Yes, the standard KIT-7101 kit can be used with 1RU switches. For heavier and longer switches requiring deep chassis adapters, the KIT-7101-D variant includes the necessary deep chassis adapter extensions.

Q: Is this kit suitable for two-post rack mounting?
A: While the KIT-7101 is primarily designed for four-post mounting, it does include two-post mounting brackets. However, Arista recommends only using a center mount configuration if two-post mounting is necessary.
