Rear View

The following figure shows the rear of the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.

Figure 5: Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Rear View

The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow. Four internal fans draw cooling air in through the front of the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. The fans are located at the rear of the chassis. The fans are numbered from 0 to 3, right to left.

Caution

The power supplies used in Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers are different and they should not be mixed or swapped. The size and structural dimensions are the same, therefore they both look alike. It would be hazardous, if you accidentally inserted the wrong power supply into the PEM slot.

Cisco Product Identification Standard

This section describes the Cisco products and services product identification standard. This feature provides you with the ability to effectively integrate and manage Cisco products in your network and business operations.

Unique Device Identifier

The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is the Cisco product identification standard for hardware products. A product identification standard removes barriers to enterprise automation and can help you reduce operating expenses.

The UDI provides a consistent electronic, physical, and associated business-to-business information product identification standard.

The UDI is a combination of five data elements. The following table lists the UDI elements.

Description

The combination of serial number and product ID (PID) is unique and consistent across all Cisco products. The PID that is coded on hardware is called a base product identifier.

Additional orderable PIDs can be associated to a base PID. For instance, an orderable PID may describe a packaging configuration for a product or a bundled group of products sold, tested, and shipped together. Specific unique device identifier (UDI) benefits include the following:

• Identifies:

• Individual Cisco products in your networks

• PIDs and serial numbers for service and replaceable products

• Version IDs (VIDs) for product version visibility

• Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or upgrade

• Enhances inventory automation of Cisco products

The Cisco product identification standard provides the following features:

• Version visibility—Cisco continuously improves products through feature additions. Product changes are indicated by incrementing the VID, which provides version visibility to help you understand and manage product changes. VID management ensures consistency of changes from product to product.

• Operating expense reduction—Cisco UDIs provide accurate and detailed network inventory information; identifying each Cisco product in a network element through a standard interface. Cisco operating systems can view and use this data, allowing you to automate your electronic inventory.

• Consistency across product layers—The UDIs are embedded in the hardware products and cannot be overwritten. Operating and management systems discover UDIs through standard interfaces and display UDIs in standard outputs. Standard interfaces include the IETF standard ENTITY-MIB.

Power Supplies

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers support AC or DC power supply options. The modular chassis configurations support the installation of two power supplies for redundancy. When an external power supply fails or is removed, the other power supply provides power requirements for the chassis. This allows you to hot-swap the power supply without impacting the functionality of the controller.

Caution

A controller can support two AC or DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC and DC power supply units in the same chassis.

The power supplies are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. A power supply is switched from Standby to On by way of a system chassis power switch.

The following table lists the power supplies that you can order:

Site Power Guidelines

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller has specific power and electrical wiring requirements. Adhering to these requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning your site for the controller:

• The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.

• In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.

• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.

• Check the power at your site before installation, and periodically after installation, to ensure that you are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.

• Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning striking power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other interior ground system.

Preparing Your Site for Installation

Electrical Circuit Requirements

Caution

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection to be provided as part of the building installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.

Note

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system must be made with an AWG #6 gauge wire, copper ground conductor at a minimum.

Electrical Circuit Requirements

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip it with dual-power feeds, you must provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller can only be powered by an AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all the products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the rating.

Console Port Connections

Preparing Your Site for Installation

Before you install the controller, have all the additional external equipment and cables at hand. For ordering information, contact a Cisco customer service representative.

The extent of your network and the distances between network interface connections depend in part on the following factors:

• Signal type

• Signal speed

• Transmission medium

The distance and rate limits referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as guidelines when planning your network connections prior to installing the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.

If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Console Port Connections

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller provides console ports to connect a terminal or computer for local console access.

Both ports have RJ-45 connectors, support RS-232 asynchronous data, and have distance recommendations specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.

USB Serial Console

The USB serial console port connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini USB Type-B cable. The USB Console supports full speed (12Mbps) operation. The console port does not support hardware flow control.

Note

• Always use shielded USB cables with a properly terminated shield. The USB serial console interface cable must not exceed 3 meters in length.

• Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.

• 4-pin mini USB Type-B connectors are easily confused with 5-pin mini USB Type-B connectors. Only 5-pin mini USB Type-B is supported.

Interference Considerations

When wires are run for a significant distance, there is a risk that stray signals will be induced on the wires as interference. If interference signals are strong, they can cause data errors or damage to the equipment.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 39

Preparing Your Site for Installation

The following sections describe sources of interference and how to minimize its effects on Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.

Electromagnetic Interference

All the equipment powered by AC current can propagate electrical energy that can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) and possibly affect the operation of other equipment. The typical sources of EMI are equipment power cords and power service cables from electric utility companies.

Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the controller and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare, but could be catastrophic.

To resolve these problems, you need specialized knowledge and equipment, which could consume substantial time and money. However, you should ensure that you have a properly grounded and shielded electrical environment, paying special attention to the need for electrical surge suppression.

The following table lists electrode magnetic compliance standards for the controller.

Radio Frequency Interference

When electromagnetic fields act over a long distance, radio frequency interference (RFI) can be propagated. Building wiring can often act as an antenna, receiving the RFI signals and creating more EMI on the wiring.

If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines

Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference

If signal wires exceed recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you should consider the effect that a lightning strike in your vicinity might have on the controller.

The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to damage or destroy electronic equipment. If you have previously experienced such problems, you should consult with RFI/EMI experts to ensure that you have adequate electrical surge suppression and shielding of signal cables in your controller operating environment.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines

This section describes guidelines on rack-mounting.

Precautions for Rack-Mounting

The following rack-mounting guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of a rack, a minimum of two people are required to accomplish this task.

Preparing Your Site for Installation

• Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to the components in the rack.

• Do not step or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a rack.

• When mounting the controller in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

General Rack-Selection Guidelines

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller can be mounted in most two-post or four-post, 19-in. equipment racks that comply with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D 19-in.). The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the chassis.

Caution

When mounting a chassis in any type of rack equipment, ensure that the inlet air to the chassis does not exceed 131°F (55°C).

The distance between the center lines of the mounting holes on the two mounting posts must be 18.31 in. ±

0.06 in. (46.50 cm ± 0.15 cm). The rack-mounting hardware included with the chassis is suitable for most 19-in. (48.3-cm) equipment racks.

Consider installing the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller in a rack with the following features:

• NEBS-compliant, 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide rack.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 41

Preparing Your Site for Installation

• EIA or ETSI hole patterns in the mounting rails. Required mounting hardware is shipped with the controller. If the rack that you plan to install the system in has metric-threaded rails, you must provide your own metric-mounting hardware.

• Perforated top and open bottom for ventilation to prevent overheating.

• Leveling feet for stability.

Note

The controller must not be installed in an enclosed rack because the chassis requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the controller in any type of enclosed rack—even with the front and back doors removed—could disrupt the air flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and cause an over temperature condition inside the controller. If you use an enclosed rack, make certain that there are air vents on all sides of the rack and there is proper ventilation.

Guidelines for 23-in. (Telco) Racks

If needed, you can also install the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller in 23-in. (Telco) racks. For information on the adapters needed for 23 in. racks, contact the Newton Instrument Company:

http://www.enewton.com 111 East A Street, Butner NC, USA, 27509 919 575-6426

Guidelines for 23-in. (Telco) Racks

Equipment Rack Guidelines

The placement of racks can affect personnel safety, system maintenance, and the system’s ability to operate within the environmental characteristics described in Table: Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Environmental Tolerance. Choose a proper location for the controller by following the guidelines below.

Locating for Safety

If the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack’s center of gravity is as low as possible.

For additional information about the proper placement of electronic equipment, see the document GR-63-CORE, Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection.

Locating for Easy Maintenance

Keep at least 3 feet of clear space in front of and behind the rack. This space ensures that you can remove the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller components and perform routine maintenance and upgrades easily.

Avoid installing the controller in a congested rack and consider how the routing of cables from other pieces of equipment in the same rack might affect access to the controller’s cards.

The front and top of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis.

Allow the following clearances for normal system maintenance:

• At the top of the chassis—At least 3 in. (7.6 cm)

• In front of the chassis—3 to 4 ft (91.44 cm to 121.92 cm)

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 42

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

To avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation, follow these general precautions when you plan the equipment locations and connections:

• Use the show environment all and the show facility-alarm status commands regularly to check the internal system status. The environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings for high temperature and creates reports on any occurrences. If warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause and correct the problem. For more information on these commands, see the Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions section.

• Keep the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller off the floor and out of the areas that collect dust.

• Follow ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Locating for Proper Airflow

Ensure that the location of the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller has enough airflow to keep the system operating within the environmental characteristics, and the air temperature is sufficient to compensate for the heat dissipated by the system.

Avoid locating the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller in a location in which the chassis air intake vents could draw in the exhaust air from adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the controller. The airflow direction is front to back with ambient air drawn in from the venting located on the chassis’ front sides.

Preparing Your Site for Installation

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled resulting in complete or intermittent failures. Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system components, such as a microprocessor. As you continue to work on your system, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.

The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to the ESD plug at the bottom of the chassis below the power entry modules.

• Handle line cards by faceplates and carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or connector pins.

• When removing a module, place the removed module component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If the module is to be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.

• Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages only on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• When transporting a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Preparing Your Site for Installation

Electrical Safety

Caution

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 ohms.

Always tighten the captive installation screws on all the system components when you are installing them. These screws prevent accidental removal of the module, provide proper grounding for the system, and help ensure that the bus connectors are properly seated in the backplane.

Electrical Safety

All the system components are hot-swappable. They are designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating, without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.

Follow these basic guidelines when you are working with any electrical equipment:

• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

• Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.

• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

Warning

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe. Never install equipment that appears damaged.

• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but is still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Statement 1001—Work During Lightning Activity

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 44

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so that you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:

• Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.

• Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note

Proceed with the installation, if you have already unpacked your chassis and read all the site requirements for your new equipment.

Guidelines for a Standalone Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

The chassis should already be in the area where you want to install it. If you have not determined where to install your chassis, see the Preparing Your Site for Installation section for information about site considerations.

When installing the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller on a sturdy equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and that you have considered the following:

• The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (the front and rear sides of the chassis).

• The chassis should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the controller by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the controller can cause over temperature conditions and component failures.

• There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.

• The chassis needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate.

• Keep the cable-management bracket ready, if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.

• Ensure that an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your controller chassis (see the Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection section).

Installing the Controller on a Standalone Equipment Shelf or Tabletop

Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or platform, as well as the surrounding area.

Step 2 Lift the chassis into position on the equipment shelf or tabletop.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Installing the Controller

Guidelines for Rack Installation

Note

Step 3 Attach the front rack-mount brackets. Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis (first holes beyond the

vent holes) and use the package of black screws that is shipped with the chassis.

Step 4 Align the front rack-mount bracket to one side of the chassis.

Step 5 Insert and tighten the screws on one side.

Step 6 Repeat Step 3 to Step 5 on the other side of the chassis. Use all the screws to secure the rack-mount brackets to the

chassis.

Step 7 Gather the two cable-management brackets and screws shipped with your chassis. See the Attaching Cable Management

Bracket section.

Step 8 Screw a cable-management bracket to each side of the rack-mount brackets that are attached to the chassis. Use two

screws for each cable-management bracket. Use a screw from the package of four screws.

Note

Step 9 Check that all the screws are securely tightened.

Step 3 to Step 9 are optional, if you are installing the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller on a rack shelf. The chassis rack-mount brackets must be installed prior to installing the cable-management brackets. See the Attaching the Front Rack-Mount Brackets section.

Ensure that the cable-management U feature device has the open end pointing outwards when you attach it to the chassis.

What to do next

Go to the Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection section for instructions about continuing the installation.

Guidelines for Rack Installation

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller can be installed in the following rack types:

• Two-post rack, either 19 inch or 23 inch. Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.

• Four-post, 19-inch equipment rack. Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller can be installed with front rack-mount brackets.

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

• The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller requires a minimum of 1.75 inches or 4.45 cm rack units of vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.

• Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair the rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.

• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove field-replaceable units.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 52

Verifying Rack Dimensions

Installing the Controller

• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches on the front and back sides of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an over temperature condition inside the controller.

Caution

To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller in an enclosed space that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.

• Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over.

• Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the controller to keep cables organized and out of the way of cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

• Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your controller chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the Physical Characteristics section and the Site Environmental Requirements section.

Verifying Rack Dimensions

Before you begin

Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in the following figure.

Figure 9: Verifying Equipment Rack Dimensions

Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should measure 18.31

inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm)

Note

Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle, and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts are parallel.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 53

Installing the Controller

Attaching Front Rack-Mount Brackets

Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack. The

space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis that is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

Attaching Front Rack-Mount Brackets

Before you begin

Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.

Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. The following figure shows the brackets attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack

Note

The cable-management brackets are attached to the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount brackets on the chassis and mount the chassis in the rack

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Ensure that you hold the front rack-mount bracket with the ear and

holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis. The following figure shows where to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.

Installing the Controller

Connecting the Console Port Cable

The controller uses RJ-45 ports for console port to attach a console terminal. The controller has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals with a console cable kit that is included with your controller. The console cable kit contains:

• One RJ-45-to-RJ-45 crossover cable

• One RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female) adapter

The crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).

The console port is an asynchronous serial port; devices connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

Connecting the Console Port Cable

Procedure for Connecting the Console Port Cable

Before you begin

Before connecting to the console interface on the controller using a terminal or PC, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).

Step 2 Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the serial RJ-45 console port (CON) on the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless

Controller using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable. Connect the DB-9 end to your terminal equipment.

Note

Step 3 After you establish normal controller operation, you can disconnect the terminal. Follow the same procedure to connect

a video terminal to the console port.

For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or host, see the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.

Power Up and Initial Configuration

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Controller

Using the Cisco Setup Command Facility

The setup command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure a controller quickly. The facility takes you through an initial configuration, including LAN and WAN interfaces.

Note

The setup command facility is entered automatically if there is no configuration on the controller when it is booted into Cisco IOS-XE.

For information on modifying the configuration after you create it, see the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless

Controller Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Command Reference Guide.

This section explains how to configure a host name for the controller, set passwords, and configure an interface to communicate with the management network.

Note

If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode (WLC#).

Step 1 From the Cisco IOS-XE CLI, enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode:

WLC> enable Password: cisco123 WLC# setup

--- System Configuration Dialog --Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

The prompts in the setup command facility vary depending on the controller, installed interface modules, and software image.

The following steps and the user entries (in bold) are shown as examples only.

Step 2 To proceed using the setup command facility, enter yes

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'

Step 3 Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

Step 4 Enter a hostname for the controller (this example uses myWLC):

Configuring global parameters: Enter host name [WLC]: myWLC

Page 68

Power Up and Initial Configuration

Using the Cisco Setup Command Facility

Step 5 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (for more security) and cannot be seen when viewing the

configuration.

The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes.

This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration. Enter enable secret: $9$.3E/eKj7KQhfik$6HKawMLMqDjcbKpVUzJ0/I3PwyBnHbIq17OitMW4T.s

Step 6 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (and is less

secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration.

The enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, with some older software versions, and some boot images. Enter enable password: cisco123

Step 7 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the controller through ports other than

the console port:

The virtual terminal password is used to protect access to the router over a network interface. Enter virtual terminal password: cisco123

Step 8 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:

Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: yes Community string [public]:

A summary of the available interfaces is displayed. The interface summary includes interface numbering, which is dependent on the controller, installed modules, and interface cards.

Current interface summary

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Te0/0/0 unassigned YES unset down down Te0/0/1 unassigned YES unset down down Te0/0/2 unassigned YES unset down down Te0/0/3 unassigned YES unset down down GigabitEthernet0 unassigned YES unset up up Vlan1 unassigned YES unset down down

Enter interface name used to connect to the

management network from the above interface summary: GigabitEthernet0

Step 9 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:

Configuring interface GigabitEthernet0: Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes IP address for this interface: 10.104.33.77 Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0] : 255.255.255.0 Class A network is 10.0.0.0, 24 subnet bits; mask is /24

The following configuration command script is created:

Configuring the Enable and Enable Secret Passwords

To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or are stored on a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password command or enable secret command. Both commands accomplish the same thing—they allow you to establish an encrypted password that users must enter to access privileged EXEC (enable) mode.

We recommend that you use the enable secret command because it uses an improved encryption algorithm.

Note

If you configure the enable secret command, it takes precedence over the enable password command; the two commands cannot be in effect simultaneously.

Specifies or modifies the hostname for the network server.

Gigabit Ethernet Management Interface Overview

The controller provides an Ethernet management port named GigabitEthernet0.

The purpose of this interface is to allow users to perform management tasks on the controller; it is an interface that should not, and often cannot, forward network traffic, but can be used to access the controller through Telnet and SSH to perform management tasks on the controller. The interface is most useful in troubleshooting scenarios when other forwarding interfaces are inactive.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 74

Default Gigabit Ethernet Configuration

The following aspects of the management Ethernet interface should be noted:

• The controller has one management Ethernet interface named GigabitEthernet0.

• IPv4, IPv6, and ARP are the only routed protocols supported for the interface.

• The interface provides a way to access the controller even if forwarding interfaces are not functional, or the Cisco IOS is down.

• The management Ethernet interface is part of its own VRF. See the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide for more details.

Default Gigabit Ethernet Configuration

By default, a forwarding VRF is configured for the interface with a special group named Mgmt-intf. This cannot be changed. This isolates the traffic on the management interface away from the forwarding plane. Otherwise, the interface can be configured like other Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for most functions.

For example, the default configuration is as follows:

interface GigabitEthernet0 vrf forwarding Mgmt-intf ip address 200.165.200.225 255.255.255.224 negotiation auto

Saving Your Controller Configuration

This section describes how to avoid losing your configuration at the next system reload or power cycle by saving the running configuration to the startup configuration in NVRAM. The NVRAM provides 32 MB of storage on the controller.

Note

To aid file recovery and minimize downtime in case of file corruption, we recommend that you save backup copies of the startup configuration file and the Cisco IOS-XE software system image file on a server

Note

To avoid losing work you have completed, be sure to save your configuration occasionally as you proceed. Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the configuration to NVRAM.

Powering Off the Controller Safely

Before you begin

We recommend that before turning off all power to the chassis, you issue the reload command. This ensures that the operating system cleans up all the file systems.

Step 1 Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap included in the accessory kit.

Step 2 Change the controller config-register by issuing the following commands:

wlc# wlc# conf t wlc(config)# config-register 0x2100

Step 3 Save the controller configuration using the following command:

wlc# write memory

Step 4 Enter the reload command.

Step 7 Move the chassis power switch to the Standby position.

Note

The fans in the power supply modules will continue to run even if the chassis power switch is in the Standby position.

Note

After powering off the controller, wait for a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions

Environmental monitoring and reporting functions allow you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions prior to loss of operation.

Caution

Alarm Monitoring

To prevent overheating of the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Over temperature conditions may occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of another device.

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller displays the CRIT, MAJ, and MIN alarm indicator LEDs. These LEDs indicate controller status at all times, but you must directly observe these LEDs to become aware of a controller alarm condition. Additionally, you can use the show facility-alarm status command to view the alarms.

To clear a visual alarm, you must resolve the alarm condition. The clear facility-alarm command does not clear an alarm LED on the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.

Environmental Monitoring

The environmental monitoring functions use sensors to monitor the temperature of the cooling air as it moves through the chassis.

The local power supplies provide the ability to monitor:

• Input and output voltage

• Output current

• Outlet temperature

Power Up and Initial Configuration

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers are expected to meet the following environmental operating conditions:

• Operating Temperature Nominal: 32° to 104° F (0° to 40°C)

• Operating Temperature Short Term: 32° to 131° F (0° to 50°C)

• Operating Humidity Nominal (relative humidity): 10 to 90% relative

• Operating Humidity Short Term: 5 to 90% relative

• Operating Altitude: –500 to 10,000 feet (–152.4 to 3048 meters)

• DC Input Range: –50 to –72 VDC

• AC Input Range: 85 to 264 VAC

In addition, the power supplies monitor internal power supply temperatures and voltages. A power supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If an internal power supply temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with the system processor.

The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the system:

• Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.

• Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.

• Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to operate, but the system is approaching shutdown. Immediate operator action is required.

• Shutdown—Before any shutdown, the system logs the status of monitored parameters in NVRAM so that you can retrieve it later to help determine the cause of the problem.

• Power supply shutdown—The power supply detected an internal out-of-tolerance overvoltage, overcurrent, or temperature condition and shut itself down. All DC power remains disabled until you toggle the chassis power switch.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Power Up and Initial Configuration

Fan Failures

Four internal fans draw cooling air in through the front of the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. The fans are located at the rear of the chassis. The fans in the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller are numbered from 0 to 5, right to left.

When the system power is on, all fans should be operational. However, the system continues to operate even if a fan fails.

Use the show platform hardware slot chassis 1 P2 fan status command to view the status of the fans, for example:

WLC# show platform hardware slot chassis 1 P2 fan status Fan group 1 speed: 60% Fan 0: Normal Fan 1: Normal Fan 2: Normal Fan 3: Normal

Reporting Functions

The chassis manager on the forwarding engine control processor manages the local resources of the forwarding processor. The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller displays warning messages on the console, if the chassis interface-monitored parameters exceed a threshold. You can also retrieve and display environmental status reports with the following commands:

Fan Failures

• show environment all

• show version

• show inventory

License Verification

Evaluation License Features

The following are the features of the 1GE and 10GE Interface Evaluation license:

• There is only one 60-Day Evaluation Period countdown timer for the 10GE port pairs. The timer is initiated as soon as the first of the port pairs is enabled.

• A EULA will be presented, and must be accepted, the first time you enable any of the ports in order to utilize the requested port.

• When the 60-Day Evaluation Period expires, the license automatically changes to an RTU license. As with all other RTU licenses, there is no functionality disruption or accessibility concerns following this transition.

• There can be only one active interface_1g license and one active interface_10g license. Either the Permanent License or the EvalRTU License can be Active, but not both.

• As with past license implementations, the Permanent license is of higher precedence than the built-in EvalRTU license. However, when the Permanent license does not have enough port-count (that is, when the user requests both port pairs but the Permanent License only allows for one port pair), the license priority changes between the Permanent and Evaluation licenses. In this case, the Evaluation License becomes Active since it can accommodate both port pairs. The Permanent License will automatically become Active if and when its port-count meets the user’s desired configuration.

Warning

Statement 1003—DC Power Disconnection

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.

Statement 1030—Equipment Installation

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Page 89

Removing and Replacing FRUs

Note

Do not install the power supplies with the chassis cover off.

This section describes how to install the DC power supply input power leads to the DC input power supply. Before you begin, read these important notices:

The color coding of the DC input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Ensure that the lead color coding you choose for the DC input power supply matches the lead color coding used at the DC power source and verify that the power source is connected to the negative (–) terminal and to the positive (+) terminal on the power supply.

Installing DC Input Power Supplies

• Ensure that the chassis ground is connected on the chassis before you begin installing the DC power supply. Follow the steps provided in the Chassis Ground Connection section.

• For DC input power cables, the wire gauge is based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for 26 amp service at nominal DC input voltage (– 40/– 72 VDC). One pair of cable leads, source DC (– ) and source DC return (+), are required for each power distribution unit (PDU). These cables are available from any commercial cable vendor. All DC input power cables for the chassis should be 10 gauge wire and cable lengths should match within 10 percent of deviation.

• Each DC input power cable is terminated at the PDU by a cable lug, as shown in the following figure.

Note

DC input power cables must be connected to the PDU terminal studs in the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity. In some cases, the DC cable leads are labeled, which is a relatively safe indication of the polarity. However, you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power distribution unit.

Figure 14: DC Input Power Cable Lug

Note

To avoid hazardous conditions, all components in the area where DC input power is accessible must be properly insulated. Therefore, before installing the DC cable lugs, be sure to insulate the lugs according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Hardware Installation Guide

Wiring the DC Input Power Source

Removing and Replacing FRUs

Warning

Step 1 Turn off the circuit breaker from the power source.

Step 2 Ensure that the chassis power switch is in the Standby position.

Note

Step 3 Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block.

Caution

Step 4 Prevent any contact with metal lead on the ground wire and the plastic cover.

Wrap the positive and negative lead cables with sleeving. Insulate the lug with shrink sleeving for each lead wire if using noninsulated crimp terminals. Sleeving is not required for insulated terminals.

Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit

When installing or replacing the unit, always connect the ground connection first and disconnected last.

It is not required to place the chassis power switch in the Standby position, if you want to hot-swap a single power supply.

Before you continue to install the terminal block ground wires, stop and perform Step 4.

Removing and Replacing USB Flash Memory Stick

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller contains the USB ports for a flash memory stick to store configurations or Cisco IOS XE consolidated packages.

Caution

Step 1 Pull the flash memory stick from the USB port.

Step 2 To replace a Cisco USB flash memory stick, insert the module into USB port 0 or 1.

The flash memory stick can be inserted only in one way, and can be inserted or removed regardless of whether the controller is powered up or not.

Do not remove a USB flash memory stick when issuing a file access command or a read/write operation to the flash memory stick when it is processing. The controller might reload or the USB flash memory stick may get damaged. Before removing the USB device, check to see if the USB activity LED on the front panel is flashing.

To remove and then replace a USB flash memory stick, follow these steps:

Repacking the Controller

If your system is damaged, you must repack it for return shipment.
