Unpacking and Installing the Controller Mounting the Controller in a Rack After the brackets are attached to the controller, use the supplied Phillips machine screws to attach the brackets to the rack (Figure 5). Use the black Phillips machine screw to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.
Unpacking and Installing the Controller Grounding the Chassis Follow the grounding procedures at your site and observe these warnings: Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Unpacking and Installing the Controller Step 5 Step 6 Install the ground lug: a. Remove the first hex nut from the bracket and place the ground lug over the screw threads. b. Place the hex nut back on the screw threads and tighten. Reinstall the ground bracket onto the controller. Figure 8 Step 7 Ground Bracket Prepare the other end of the grounding cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground.
Using the Startup Wizard Note You can use either the RJ-45 console port or the USB console port. Note The first time that you connect a Windows PC to the USB console port, you are prompted to install the USB console driver. Follow the installation prompts to install the driver. The USB console driver maps to a COM port on your PC; you then need to map the terminal emulator application to the COM port. See the “USB Mini-B Console Port” section on page 5 for more information about the USB console driver.
Using the Startup Wizard Step 3 Enter the enable secret password. This password is used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted. Step 4 Enter the enable password. This password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password (for some older software versions, and some boot images). Step 5 Enter the virtual terminal password. This password is used to protect access to the controller over a network interface.
Using the Startup Wizard Step 13 When prompted to verify that the configuration is correct, enter one of the following: • 0—Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config. • 1—Return back to the setup without saving this config. • 2—Save this configuration to nvram and exit. Logging into the Controller Follow these steps to log into the controller: Step 1 Enter a valid username and password to log into the controller CLI.
Power Supply Installation Step 2 Enter show port summary. The following information appears, showing the status of the controller’s distribution system ports, which serve as the data path between the controller and Cisco lightweight access points and to which the controller’s management interface is mapped.
Power Supply Installation One power supply unit is installed in slot 1 at the factory. You can order a second power supply unit and install it in slot 2. The power supplies do not have an on/off switch and can only be powered down by removing AC input. Note If only one power supply will be used, you must use the supplied blank faceplate to cover the empty power slot. Power Supply Module Overview All power supply modules have internal fans.

Power Supply Installation Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot when installing or removing a module. Exposed circuitry is an energy hazard. Statement 206 Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 Installing or Replacing an AC Power Supply Step 1 Turn off the power at its source.

Turn on the power at the power source. Step 8 Confirm that the power supply AC OK and PS OK LEDs are green. Finding the Power Supply Module Serial Number If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance regarding a power supply module, you need to know the serial number.
Installing a Fan Module Installing a Fan Module This section describes how to install a fan module. • Fan Module Installation, page 30 • Finding the Fan Module Serial Number, page 31 The controller has four fan modules. Fan modules are hot-swappable. The controller can operate with one fan failure indefinitely, but the faulty fan should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid service disruption due to a second fan failure.
Installing a Fan Module Caution You should replace the fan module within 5 minutes to avoid overheating the controller. Step 2 Install the fan module in the fan slot, and firmly push it into the slot, applying pressure to the end of the module, not the extraction handles. When correctly inserted, the fan module is flush with the controller rear panel. When the fan is operating, a green LED is on in the top left corner of the fan. See Figure 15.
Specifications Fan Module Serial Number 334328,781-00761-01 Figure 16 SN: XXXNNNNXXXX Specifications Table 7 through Table 9 list the specifications for the controller and its power supply and fan modules.
