Arista KIT-7508N-RK-L | 4-Post Rack Mount Kit for 7500R 7508N Chassis, 43in

Q: Is this rack kit compatible with two-post racks?
A: No, the KIT-7508N-RK-L is specifically designed for four-post rack configurations. Arista provides separate two-post mounting brackets for center-mount installations of the 7508N chassis.

Q: What is included in the rack mounting kit?
A: The kit includes shelf supports with integrated brackets, M6 mounting screws, cage nuts for unthreaded rack posts, and all necessary hardware to securely install the 7508N chassis in a four-post rack.

Q: Does this kit fit the older 7508 or 7508E chassis?
A: This kit is engineered for the 7508N chassis specifically. The 7508N has a different mounting profile than the earlier 7508 and 7508E models, so compatibility should be verified before ordering.

Q: What rack depth is required for this kit?
A: The KIT-7508N-RK-L is designed for 43-inch depth racks, accommodating the 31.3-inch depth of the 7508N chassis plus required clearance for cabling and airflow at the front and rear.

Q: Can I install the chassis with modules already installed?
A: Yes, but it is recommended to use a mechanical lift when installing a populated chassis to avoid damaging components. The chassis can weigh significantly more when fully populated with line cards, supervisors, and fabric modules.
