Installing the CiscoWorks 1130 Wireless LAN Solution Engine

This section provides instructions for installing the WLSE in a rack. The rack must be properly secured to the floor, ceiling, or upper wall, and where applicable, to adjacent racks. The rack should be secured using floor and wall fasteners and bracing specified or approved by the rack manufacturer or by industry standards. See the rack manufacturer's installation documentation for precautionary warnings and information before attempting this installation.

Installing the Wireless LAN Solution Engine in a Rack

Before installing the WLSE in a rack, read Preparing Your Site for Installation to familiarize yourself with the proper site and environmental conditions. Failure to read and follow these guidelines could lead to an unsuccessful installation and possible damage to the system and components. Perform the steps below when installing and servicing the WLSE:

Disconnect all power and external cables before installing the system.

Install the system in compliance with your local and national electrical codes:

United States: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70; United States National Electrical Code.

Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part, I, CSA C22.1.

Other countries: If local and national electrical codes are not available, see IEC 364, Part 1 through Part 7.

Do not work alone under potentially hazardous conditions.

Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

Do not attempt to install the WLSE into a rack that has not been securely anchored in place. Damage to the system and personal injury may result.

Due to the size and weight of the computer system, never attempt to install the computer system by yourself.

See Precautions for Rack-Mounting for additional safety information on rack installation.


Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

When mounting this unit 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. Statement 1006


To install the WLSE in a rack, perform the following steps:


Step 1 In the rack-mounting kit, locate the adapters that best fit your rack. See Table 3-2.


Note The rack-mounting instructions in this document are for a 4-post cabinet (recommended).

Note In the following illustrations, screws are shown for racks with threaded holes. If your rack has non-threaded holes, install the screw from the front of the rack, and use a nut on the inside against the adapter bracket.


Step 2 Attach the front adapters to the rails of the rack as shown in the following example.

Step 3 Attach one or two rear adapters to the rails of the rack as shown in the following examples.

Attach one adapter for racks with depths of 25 3/8 to 30 inches. See the following example.

Attach two adapters for racks with depths of 24 1/4 to 25 3/8 inches. Make sure the longer bracket is at the rear. Attach the two brackets to each other by using two cage nuts and two screws. See the following example.

Step 4 Attach a slide assembly to the adapters on each side of the rack:

a. At the front of the cabinet, push the slide assembly forward until the mounting hook enters the square hole on the adapter.

b. Push down the mounting bracket flange until the mounting hook is seated in the square hole and the push button pops out and clicks.

c. At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting flange until the mounting hook is in the square holes on the adapter.

d. Push down on the mounting bracket flange until the mounting hook is seated in the square hole and the push button pops out and clicks.

Step 5 Install the WLSE in the slide assembly.

a. Remove the front bezel.

b. Tilt the back of the WLSE down while aligning the back screws on its sides with the back slide assembly slots.

c. Engage the screws in the slide assembly slots.

d. Lower the front of the WLSE and engage the front screws on its sides in the front slot behind the system release latch.

The system release latch will move forward and then snap back.

Use this latch when removing the WLSE from the slide assembly.

e. Press the slide release latch at the side of each slide to move the WLSE completely into the rack.

f. Push in and turn the thumbscrews on each side of the WLSE's front panel to secure it to the rack.

g. Reinstall the front bezel.


Connecting the WLSE to the AC Power Source


Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024


Connect the AC power receptacle to the AC power source with the provided power cable.

Connecting Cables


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


Use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire Ethernet cable, with standard RJ-45 compatible plugs, to connect the WLSE to the network.


Step 1 Plug the network connection into the Ethernet port labeled "A." This port corresponds to the Ethernet 0 interface.

Step 2 Connect a console to the serial port:

a. Attach a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter (provided) to the serial port of the console.

b. Attach a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter (provided) to the serial port of the WLSE.

c. Connect the console to the WLSE using an RJ-45 cable (provided).


Note You will need the console to run the setup program. See "Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE."


Powering On the WLSE

To turn the power on or off, press the power button on the front panel. When you turn the power off, after 30 seconds the WLSE will shut down gracefully.

The system begins booting and sending messages to the console window. When the login prompt appears, you can configure the system; see the instructions in "Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE."

Next Steps—Configuration

Configure the WLSE and the devices to be managed. See "Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE."
