HPE Aruba Networking X414 1U Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit
1U · 4-postAruba 2540 · 6000 · 6100Front and rear supportLimited lifetime warranty
The HPE Aruba Networking X414 1U Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (J9583B) lets a 1U Aruba switch be supported at both the front and the rear posts of a 4-post rack or server cabinet, instead of hanging only from its front rack ears.
Aruba's 6000/6100 installation guide names the X410/X414 universal kit (J9583A, J9583B) for installing the 24-port and 48-port switches in 4-post racks, and the distributor listing for this item names the Aruba 2540 24G and 48G. Rear support matters in deep cabinets, in racks that are moved or shipped populated, and wherever a switch would otherwise flex on its front ears.
Before you order: This is a 4-post kit. In a 2-post rack or a wall cabinet with only front rails you do not need it — the switch's own front brackets are enough. The 8- and 12-port Aruba 6000 models are not covered by this kit.
What's in the Box
- Universal 1U 4-post rack mount kit for HPE Aruba switches
- The switch, cage nuts and rack screws for your cabinet may need to be provided separately — check your rack
What It Means in Practice
- The switch is held at the front and the rear, so its weight is no longer carried by the front ears alone.
- Recommended for deep server cabinets and for racks that are transported with equipment installed.
- Fits 1U Aruba 2540 24G/48G and Aruba 6000/6100 24- and 48-port switches.
- No change to the switch configuration — installation is purely mechanical.
What Will Not Work
- 2-post racks or wall cabinets with front rails only — use the switch's standard brackets instead.
- Aruba 6000 8-port and 12-port models — they use a different bracket.
- 2U or modular chassis switches (e.g. Aruba 6400, 8400) — they have their own rail kits.
- Do not confuse with the newer HPE Aruba Networking 1U Universal 4-post kit R9F57A.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need this kit for a normal 19-inch cabinet?
Only if the cabinet is 4-post and you want rear support. With front rails only, the brackets that come with the switch are enough.
Does it fit an Aruba CX 6100 48-port?
Yes, Aruba lists the X410/X414 universal kit for the 6000/6100 24- and 48-port switches in 4-post racks.
Is J9583A the same?
J9583A is the earlier X410 version of the universal kit; J9583B is the current X414.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
If your Aruba switches are going into a deep server cabinet, rear support avoids sagging and bent ears over time. Combine it with blanking panels and cable management from our
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you install a 1U Aruba 2540 or 6000/6100 switch in a 4-post rack or cabinet.
✕ Skip it if your rack is 2-post or has front rails only.
→ Also consider the switch's standard front brackets for 2-post racks.
