Installation

This chapter describes how to install an Aruba 9012 Gateway using the many mounting options 

available. The 9012 gateway ships with an accessory kit that includes the equipment needed to install 

the gateway in a standard, 19-inch telco rack or on a wall.

Installation Recommendations



For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance on the left, right, front, and rear 

side of the gateway.



Leave additional space in front and rear side of the gateway to access power cords, network 

cables, and indicator LEDs.



Avoid placing anything on top of the gateway as it can lead to overheating of the gateway.



Avoid placing this gateway on any other device as the heat dissipated from the other device can 

over heat the gateway.



Ensure that the rack is correctly and securely installed to prevent it from falling or becoming 

unstable.

Precautions



Ensure that the rack is correctly and securely installed to prevent it from falling or becoming 

unstable.



Dangerous voltage above 240 V AC is always present while the Aruba Power Supply Module is 

plugged into an electrical outlet. Remove all rings, jewelry, and other potentially conductive 

material before working with this device.



Never insert foreign objects into the chassis, power supply, or any other component, even when 

the power supply is turned off, unplugged, or removed.



Ensure that the main power is fully disconnected from the gateway by unplugging all power cords 

from their outlets. For safety, verify that the power outlets and plugs are easily reachable by the 

operator.



Do not handle electrical cables which are not insulated. This also includes network cables.



Keep water and other fluids away from the gateway to minimize electrical hazards.



Comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the 

product. Do not allow the gateway’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.



Perform installation or removal of the chassis or any module in a static-free environment. Proper 

use of anti-static body straps and mats is strongly recommended.



Modules must be kept in anti-static packaging when not installed in the chassis.

Installation of the device should be performed by a trained installation professional.
