If the rack has slide rails, skip this section.
Before you attach slide rails to the rack, confirm the following items:

"Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
HP recommends that you order the HP X421 A-Series Chassis Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit
(JC665A). For more information about the kit, see "Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
• I
dentify the rack position for the switch. For the height and other specifications of the 7500 Switch
Series, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
