HPE X472 2-post Rack Kit JL482C

HPE X472 2-post Rack Kit

The HPE X472 2-post Rack Kit is a mounting accessory built for Aruba network switches. It allows the switch to be secured inside a standard two-post rack enclosure. The kit is sold new under part number JL482C. It is intended for network administrators who need to install compatible switching hardware in a two-post environment.

Upgrading from a shelf or four-post tray

This kit replaces improvised shelving or a four-post tray when the rack only offers two vertical posts. The jump is worth it when the switch chassis has mounting ears that align with the kit’s brackets. It provides a direct, screw-fixed attachment that saves depth compared to a shelf. No other mounting hardware is included beyond what the kit supplies.

Suits two-post rack installs.

The kit suits installers working with two-post relay racks where the switch depth fits the bracket spacing. It does not suit cabinets that require four-post support rails or installations that need adjustable depth. Buyers who need to mount the same switch in a four-post frame or on a wall should look at a different mounting solution.
