Introduction

The Brocade Mobility™ 9510 Enterprise NC Controller lets you centrally administer networks up to 10,240 WLAN access points geographically dispersed over numerous telecommuter and small or medium sized enterprise locations. Brocade Access Points intelligently handle the traffic flows, quality of service, mobility and security at remotely distributed locations, while the Mobility RFS9510 Controller provides a single point for configuration, policy setting, and remote troubleshooting. Hotspot configuration, security policy management, and statistics aggregation are all done by one powerful NoC controller. This efficient WLAN architecture makes controlling the network easier, and reduces the hardware expense required to support large networks.

Cautionary statements

There are no user-serviceable components inside the Mobility RFS9510 Controller Opening the chassis will void the warranty.
BIOS settings on the Mobility RFS9510 Controller should not be changed. Changing any settings in the BIOS will void all warranty on the controller.
1
To prevent the controller from overheating, never install in an enclosed area not properly ventilated or cooled. For proper airflow, keep the front and back sides of the controller clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.
The recommended / ambient operating temperature is 10ºC - 35ºC (50ºF - 95ºF). Installation in a closed or multi-rack assembly may raise the immediate ambient temperature above the average room temperature. Exercise due caution.
Ensure the electrical circuit through which the controller is powered can safely accommodate a 750 Watt power supply.
Brocade highly recommends you connect the Mobility RFS9510 Controller to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). There are instances in which the system software could become corrupt and un-recoverable in the event of power loss, for example, during a system upgrade, database backup or database restore operation.

The Mobility RFS9510 Controller uses a Class 1M laser module. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments designed for use at a distance (for example, telescopes and binoculars) may pose an eye hazard.

Safety instructions for rack mount installations

A Mobility RFS9510 Controller requires a two man lift. Use all appropriate cautions.
Rack Mount Brackets—Do not lift the Mobility RFS9510 Controller using the rack mount
brackets.
Rack Mount Rails—Use only industry-standard mounting kits when installing the Mobility
RFS9510 Controller, as improper mounting may result in hardware failure and hazardous conditions. Brocade recommends using the using the mounting rails included with the controller.
Elevated Operating Ambient—If installing the Mobility RFS9510 Controller in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. Consideration should be given to installing the appliance in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow—Installation of the Mobility RFS9510 Controller in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading—Mounting the Mobility RFS9510 Controller in a rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading—Consideration should be given when connecting the Mobility RFS9510
Controller to the supply circuit so that protection is provided to the Mobility RFS9510 Controller and supply wiring if any circuit overloads occur. Appropriate consideration of the equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing—Reliable earthing of the rack mounted Mobility RFS9510 Controller should
be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Hardware Installation

Power protection

If possible, use a circuit dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial electrical
contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load balancing of these circuits.
Install surge protection. Be sure to use a surge protection device between the electricity source
and the Mobility RFS9510 Controller.
Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous power during a
power outage. Some UPS devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires periodic maintenance to ensure reliability. A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing equipment must be purchased.
