Installing The Controller - HP MSM720 Installation Manual

2 Installing the controller

WARNING!
For indoor use only. The controller, AC power adapter, and all connected cables are not
designed for outdoor use.
The HP mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming
from the transmit port.
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or
falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest
devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
Wall-mount the controller with network ports facing up (away from the floor). Do not wall-mount
the controller with the network ports facing down (toward the floor) or ventilation ducts facing
up or down.
LAN cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (such as lightning
or disturbances in the electrical utilities power grid). Handle exposed metal components of
the network with caution.
CAUTION:
Use only the AC/DC power adapter supplied with the controller for connection to an AC
power source.
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the controller to connect it to the power source.
Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord supplied with the controller. Use of other
adapters or improper power cords, including those that came with other HP Networking
products, may result in damage to the equipment.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the controller,
ensure the cord is adequately sized for the controller's current requirements. In addition, be
sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the controller. If the supplied power cord does not fit, contact HP Networking
support.
When installing the controller, the AC outlet should be near the controller and should be easily
accessible in case the controller must be powered off.
Do not install the controller in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed 45°C (1 13°F). This includes a fully-enclosed rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides
and back of the controller is not restricted.
Hot swapping transceivers is supported. You can install or remove a transceiver with the
controller powered on, a reset will not occur. However, rapid hotswaps are not recommended.
Wait a few seconds for the Mode LED to turn on (during initialization) and then turn off.
Use only supported genuine HP mini-GBICs with your controller. Non-HP mini-GBICs are not
supported and their use may result in product malfunction. Should you require additional HP
mini-GBICs, contact your HP Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
