Verify that the ambient temperature remains between 32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C), taking into

•
When multiple WLC526 controllers are mounted in an equipment rack, be sure that the power
source is sufficiently rated to safely run all the equipment in the rack (input: 100–240VAC, 50/60

•
Verify the integrity of the electrical ground before installing the controller.
