Installation; Installation Recommendations; Precautions - HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect 10106 Installation Manual

This chapter describes how to install the HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect 10106 SD-WAN
Gateway.
Installation of the device should be performed by a trained installation professional.
You can mount the Gateway on any flat surface such as a desktop or a shelf. You can also mount the
Gateway in a standard, 19-inch Telco rack or on a wall using the appropriate accessory kit provided
by HPE Aruba Networking.

Installation Recommendations

For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance on the left, right, front, and rear

side of the SD-WAN Gateway.
Leave additional space in front and rear side of the Gateway to access power cords, network

cables, and indicator LEDs.
Avoid placing anything on top of the Gateway because it can lead to overheating of the Gateway.

Avoid placing this Gateway on any other device because the heat dissipated from the other device

can over heat the Gateway.

Precautions

Dangerous voltage above 240 V AC is always present while an HPE Aruba Networking gateway is

plugged into an electrical outlet. Remove all rings, jewelry, and other potentially conductive
material before working with this device.
Never insert foreign objects into the chassis, power supply, or any other component, even when

the power supply is turned off, unplugged, or removed.
Ensure that the main power is fully disconnected from the Gateway by unplugging all power cords

from their outlets. For safety, verify that the power outlets and plugs are easily reachable by the
operator.
Do not handle electrical cables that are not insulated. This also includes network cables.

Keep water and other fluids away from the Gateway to minimize electrical hazards.

Comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the

product. Do not allow the Gateway's chassis, network ports, power supply, 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.
Perform installation or removal of the chassis or any module in a static-free environment. Proper

use of anti-static body straps and mats is strongly recommended.
Modules must be kept 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.
This product, power cords, and all interconnected cables are for indoor use only.
