Precautions
 Installation should be performed only by a trained technician.
 Dangerous voltage in excess of 240 VAC is always present while the Aruba power supply is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Remove all rings, jewelry, and other potentially conductive material before working with this product.
 Never insert foreign objects into the chassis, the power supply, or any other component, even when the power
supplies have been turned off, unplugged, or removed.
 Main power is fully disconnected from the controller only by unplugging all power cords from their power outlets. For
safety reasons, make sure the power outlets and plugs are within easy reach of the operator.
 Do not handle electrical cables that are not insulated. This includes any network cables.
 Keep water and other fluids away from the product.
