Rear Panel The rear panel of the Aruba 7200 controller consists of the following components: Two power supply slots One fan tray slot Grounding point Figure 6 Rear Panel Fan Tray The 7200 is equipped with a field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan tray. Each fan tray features four individual fans that pull air through the chassis from the front through to the rear.
Table 16 Fan Tray Components Callout Component Description Left Latch Used to secure the left side of the fan tray to the chassis. Right Latch Used to secure the right side of the fan tray to the chassis. Handle Used to insert and remove the fan tray from the chassis. Figure 8 shows the airflow pattern for the 7200.
Redundancy With power redundancy, the 7200 can continue normal operation even when a power supply fails or is turned off. When multiple power supplies are installed, if one becomes unavailable (fails, or is turned off or removed) the remaining power supplies will attempt to provide full power for the device. If the device’s total power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining, operational power supplies, the controller will continue to operate.
Table 17 Power Supply Components Callout Component Description Handle Used to insert and remove the power supply from the chassis. Power Supply Blanking Plate Covers the extra power supply slot. Do not operate your 7200 without this blanking plate or a power supply in either slot. LEDs Each power supply is equipped with three LEDs to help monitor the power supply module’s status.
Chapter 2 Installation Installation of the device should be performed by a trained installation professional. This chapter describes how to install an Aruba 7200 controller using the many mounting options available. The 7200 ships with an accessory kit that includes the equipment needed to install the controller in standard, two-point 19-inch telco rack.
Selecting a Location The 7200, like other network and computing devices, requires an “electronics friendly” environment. Reliable power. Verify that your electrical outlet is compatible with the 7200 power supplies. Cool, non-condensing ventilation For proper operation, the 7200 requires an environment with an ambient air temperature between 0 and 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF).
