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.

Getting started 1
Network access requirements
•TCP 22—used for SSH (protocol 2 only) access for occasional administrative tasks.
Cautionary statements
CAUTION
There are no user-serviceable components inside the Mobility RFS9510 Controller Opening the
chassis will void the warranty.
CAUTION
BIOS settings on the Mobility RFS9510 Controller should not be changed. Changing any settings
in the BIOS will void all warranty on the controller.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Ensure the electrical circuit through which the controller is powered can safely accommodate a
750 Watt power supply.
CAUTION
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.

CAUTION
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
CAUTION
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.
