MSM760 and MSM765zl Controllers Quickstart

This Quickstart gets you started using the MSM760 and MSM765zl Controllers. Please visit www.hp.com/networking/support for the latest documentation including the

MSM7xx Controllers Management and Configuration Guide. See also the Release Notes for the latest information including software download instructions.

Products list

This Quickstart applies to the following MSM Controllers:

As shown in the above table, all MSMxxx product names now have an E-MSMxxx product name

equivalent. Both the MSMxxx name and the E-MSMxxx name refer to the same product. The original

product names (without “E-”) are used throughout this document.

MSM760 Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing the MSM760 Access and Mobility Controllers.

Warnings:

• The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/

or falling over.

• Units installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest

devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.

• For safe operation, only install the MSM760 horizontally, with the bottom side down.

Cautions:

• Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied

with the MSM760 to connect it to the power source.

• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the MSM760,

be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the

regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord

can be used safely with the MSM760.

• When installing the MSM760, the AC outlet should be near the MSM760 and should be easily

accessible in case the MSM760 must be powered off.

• Ensure the MSM760 does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current

protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the

ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the MSM760 and compare the

total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on

the devices near the AC power connectors.

• Do not install the MSM760 in an environment where the operating ambient temperature

might exceed 40°C (104°F).

• Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the MSM760 is not restricted.

MSM765zl Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing the MSM765zl Mobility Controller.

Cautions:

• Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the MSM765zl. When

handling and installing the MSM765zl, follow these procedures to avoid damage from static

electricity:

• Handle the MSM765zl by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components

and the circuitry on the board.

• When installing the MSM765zl, equalize any static charge difference between your

body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the

switch’s metal body, or by frequently touching the switch’s metal body.

• The MSM765zl has “low-force”, high-performance connectors. High insertion forces are not

necessary to install the MSM765zl, and should not be used.

• Ensure the MSM765zl is fully inserted. Press the MSM765zl into the slot until the bulkhead

on the MSM765zl contacts or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch chassis.

• Once the MSM765zl is fully inserted, screw in the two retaining screws to secure the

MSM765zl in place.

• For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions,

ensure that a slot cover is installed on any unused MSM765zl slot. For safety, no more than

one slot should be uncovered at a time when the switch is powered on.

• Respect the temperature specifications for the MSM765zl.
