Aruba 7030 - Site Selection Criteria; Rack Mounting Requirements

18 | Installation Aruba 7030 Mobility Controller | Installation Guide
 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.
 Do not disassemble the chassis.
Selecting a Location
The 7030 controller, like other network and computing devices, requires the following “electronic-friendly”
environment:
 Reliable power
Verify that your electrical outlet is compatible with the 7030 controller power supply.
 Cool, non-condensing ventilation
For proper operation, the 7030 controller requires an environment with an ambient air temperature
between 0º C and 40º C (32º F and 104º F). Humidity must be kept at non-condensing levels, between 5%
and 95%.
Where a large number of electrical devices are working in the same area, additional air conditioning or
air circulation equipment may be required.
 Ample space
For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance all around the chassis.
Leave additional space in front and rear side of the chassis to access power cords, network cables, and
indicator LEDs.
 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.
Rack Mounting- Standard
This mounting option allows mounting the 7030 controller in a two-post 19-inch Telco rack.
Required Tools and Equipment
The following tools and equipment are required for installing a 7030 controller:
 Mounting Bracket (x2) (included in the kit): Do not use for table or shelf installation
 Screws for mounting bracket (x8): M3 x 6.5 mm Phillips Flat Head Screws (included in the kit)
 Screws for system rack mount (4x): M6 x 15 mm Phillips Pan Head Screws (included in the kit)
 Suitable Screwdrivers for all screw types provided in the box (not included in the kit)
Each 7030 controller should have its own mounting equipment. Do not place other networking equipment directly
on top of a mounted 7030 controller. Failure to do so can damage the device.
Some racks require screws that differ from those included with the 7030 controller. Ensure that you have the
correct screws before installing the 7030 controller.
