This chapter describes how to install an Aruba 7030 controller using the many mounting options available. The 7030 controller ships with an accessory kit that includes the equipment needed to install the controller in standard, 19-inch telco rack or on a wall.
Limited electromagnetic interference For best operation, keep the 7030 controller and all cords and cables at least 0.7 meters (2 feet) from fluorescent lighting fixtures, and 2 meters (6 feet) from photocopiers, radio transmitters, electric generators, and other sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
Installation Steps To install a 7030 controller into a two-post 19-inch Telco rack: 1. Place the mounting bracket over the mounting holes on the controller (see Figure 2. Secure the bracket to the controller using the eight screws for the mount bracket (four per bracket) and a suitable screwdriver.
Ensure that the Ethernet ports are facing down when installing the 7030 controller on a wall. 1. Fasten the mounting brackets over the mounting holes on the sides of the 7030 controller using the eight screws for mounting bracket (four per bracket) and a suitable screwdriver (see Figure 10).
Connecting and Disconnecting the AC Power Cord Once you have installed the 7030 controller, you are ready to power On the device. The 7030 controller is not equipped with an On/Off switch. The device will power On when the AC power cord is connected to the AC inlet and an AC power outlet.
Disconnecting the AC Power Cord To disconnect the AC power cord from the 7030 controller: 1. Lift the power cord retaining clip off the AC power cord. 2. Pull the AC power cord from the power supply module. 3. The 7030 controller is now turned Off.
