CAUTION:
•
Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.
•
There are no user-serviceable parts inside these controllers. Any servicing, adjustment,
maintenance, or repair must be performed only by trained service personnel.
•
These controllers do not have a power switch; they are powered on when the power cable is
plugged in.
Installing the controller
These steps summarize your controller installation. The rest of this chapter provides details on these
steps.
•
“Prepare the installation site” (page 9)
. Make sure the physical environment into which you
will be installing the controller is properly prepared, including having the correct network
cabling ready to connect to the controller and having an appropriate location for the controller.
•
“Verify the controller passes self-test” (page 9)
. Plug the controller into a power source and
observe that the LEDs on the controller front panel indicate correct controller operation.
•
“Installing the controller” (page 11)
. The controller can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack,
in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface.
•
“Connect the controller to a power source” (page 13)
. Once the controller is mounted, plug
it into the main power source.
•
“Connect the network cables” (page 14)
. Using the appropriate network cables, connect the
network devices to the controller ports.
•
“Installing or removing optional mini-GBICs” (page 14)
. The controller has two slots for installing
mini-GBICs. Depending on where you install the controller, it may be easier to install the
mini-GBICs first.
Prepare the installation site
•
Cabling Infrastructure
: Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network
specifications described in
“Cabling and safety standards” (page 21)
•
Installation location
: Before installing the controller, plan its location and orientation relative
to other devices and equipment:
•
The front of the controller requires at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair
cabling.
•
The back of the controller requires at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for the power
cable.
•
The sides of the controller, must have at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for cooling.
Verify the controller passes self-test
Before installing the controller in its network location, verify that it passes its self-test.
CAUTION:
Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cable supplied with the controller.
Use of other adapters or power cables, including those that came with other HP Networking
products, can result in damage to the equipment.
