Pre-Installation Checklist
You will need the following during installation:
•
Aruba 7XXXController components.
•
Phillips or cross-head screwdriver.
•
Equipment rack.
•
Aruba power cord for each power supply, rated to at least 10 A with IEC320 connector.
•
Adequate power supplies and electrical power.
•
Cool, non-condensing air 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF). May require air conditioning.
•
Management Station (PC) with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and SSHv2 software.
•
A 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
Precautions
•
Installation should be performed only by a trained technician.
•
Dangerous voltage in excess of 240 VAC is always present while the Aruba power supply is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Remove all rings, jewelry, and other potentially conductive material before working with this product.
•
Never insert foreign objects into the chassis, the power supply, or any other component, even when the power
supplies have been turned off, unplugged, or removed.
•
Main power is fully disconnected from the controller only by unplugging all power cords from their power outlets. For
safety reasons, make sure the power outlets and plugs are within easy reach of the operator.
•
Do not handle electrical cables that are not insulated. This includes any network cables.
•
Keep water and other fluids away from the product.
•
Comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the product. Do not allow
the controller chassis, network ports, power supplies, or mounting brackets to contact any device, cable, object, or
person attached to a different electrical ground. Also, never connect the device to external storm grounding sources.
•
Installation or removal of the chassis or any module must be performed in a static-free environment. The proper use
of anti-static body straps and mats is strongly recommended.
•
Keep modules in anti-static packaging when not installed in the chassis.
•
Do not ship or store this product near strong electromagnetic, electrostatic, magnetic or radioactive fields.
•
Do not disassemble chassis or modules. They have no internal user-serviceable parts. When service or repair is
needed, contact Aruba Networks.
Product Examination
The units are shipped to the Crypto Officer in factory-sealed boxes using trusted commercial carrier shipping companies.
The Crypto Officer should examine the carton for evidence of tampering. Tamper-evidence includes tears, scratches, and
other irregularities in the packaging.
