Power Supply
The Aruba 7030 controller is equipped with an integrated AC power supply of 80W.
Grounding Point
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, the
controller must be adequately grounded before power is connected. Connect a grounding cable to earth
ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding point using two screws.
Comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the product.
Do not allow the controller’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
