Arista KIT-7516N | 7516N 4-Post Rack Mount Kit with 12x Power Cords

Q: What is included in the KIT-7516N accessory kit?
A: The kit includes twelve C19-C20 power cords (2m length), 4-post mounting brackets, shelf supports with proper orientation indicators, alignment pins for threaded racks, plastic spacers, M6 screws, and cage nuts for both threaded and unthreaded rack installations.

Q: Is this kit compatible with both two-post and four-post racks?
A: While the kit provides components for 4-post rack mounting with a shelf-based installation, it is primarily designed for four-post rack configurations. The 7516N requires a specialized mounting shelf due to its size and weight, which is only suitable for four-post installations.

Q: Can this accessory kit be used with other Arista 7500N series switches?
A: No, this kit is specifically designed for the DCS-7516N chassis. Other models in the 7500N series (7504N, 7508N, 7512N) require different accessory kits with varying quantities of power cords and mounting hardware appropriate to their chassis size and power requirements.

Q: What rack space does the 7516N chassis require?
A: The 7516N mounting shelf attaches to rack posts starting at the 6th U from the bottom. The exact rack unit height depends on the fully populated chassis configuration, but adequate clearance must be provided for front and rear access to line cards and power supplies.

Q: Does this kit include the chassis or any internal components?
A: No, the KIT-7516N is a spare accessory kit only. It does not include the DCS-7516N chassis, supervisor modules, line cards, fabric modules, or power supplies - only the mounting hardware and power cords needed for installation.
