HP MSM760 Controllers Quickstart
This document describes how to install the MSM760 Access Controller (J9421A), and the MSM760 Premium
Mobility Controller (J9420A). These products are hereafter referred to as controller. The controller works
with HP 802.11n and 802.11ac access points to deliver a high-performance networking solution. For a list
of supported APs, see the HP MSM7xx Controllers Release Notes.
For additional installation information, and instructions on how to initially configure the controller, see the
HP MSM760 Controllers Installation Guide.

Ports
Controller console port: A standard serial port with an RJ-45 connector. To connect to a computer, use the
supplied DB-9 to RJ-45 console cable.
Ethernet ports: Two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors. Connector 1 (left):
Internet port and connector 2 (right): LAN port.
MAC address
The MAC address of the Internet port is printed on the front of the controller. The MAC address of the LAN
port is the Internet port MAC address plus 1.
LEDs
The following table indicates the function of the status LEDs. See Figure 1 (page 1) for the location of the
LEDs.

Important information to read before installing
Observe the following precautions when installing the controller:
WARNING!
•Ensure that the rack or cabinet is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable, or
falling over.
•Install products as low as possible in a rack or cabinet, with the heaviest devices at the bottom
and progressively lighter devices installed above.
•For safe operation, only install the controller horizontally, with the bottom side down.
CAUTION:
•Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, and use the power cord supplied with
the controller to connect it to the power source.
•If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the controller, be
sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the controller.
•When installing the controller, the AC outlet should be near the controller and should be easily
accessible in case the controller must be powered off.
•Ensure that the controller does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the power supply circuit load, add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on
the circuit including the controller, and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The
maximum ampere ratings are typically printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
•Do not install the controller in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed 40°C (104°F).
•Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the controller is not restricted.
Installation
The controller is shipped with an accessory kit that includes brackets for installation in a standard 19-inch
telco rack or an equipment cabinet, and rubber feet that can be attached to the controller for installation
on a shelf or other horizontal surface. Although the brackets are designed to allow a device to be mounted
in a variety of locations and orientations, you must install the controller horizontally.
Prepare the installation site
•Cabling infrastructure—Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications.
Cable type: Use Category 5 or better, 100-ohm unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) balanced cable. For 1000 Mbps operation, HP recommends Category 5e or better.
Length limit: 100 meters

NOTE: The controller is compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab standard including the Auto
MDI/MDI-X feature, which allows use of either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables
for connecting to any network devices including end nodes, such as computers, or to other
switches, hubs, and routers.
For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire pairs are used for data transmission.
•Installation location—Before installing the controller, plan its location relative to other devices and
equipment, and consider the following:
•The front of the controller requires at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair cabling.
•The back of the controller requires at least 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) of space for the power cord.
•The sides of the controller require at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling, except if the controller is
installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
Installing the controller
After determining the configuration and preparing the site, mount the controller in a stable location. The
controller can be installed in a rack or cabinet, or placed on a table or shelf.
Mounting the controller in a rack or cabinet
The controller can be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or communication equipment cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Equipment Cabinet Note
The four 12-24 screws supplied with the controller have the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA
open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the controller in an equipment cabinet, such as a server
cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet instead of the 12-24 screws that are
supplied with the controller.
Before performing the following procedure, determine which four holes you will be using in the cabinet
and install all four clips.
1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver to attach the mounting brackets to the controller with the
included 8-mm M4 screws.
Figure 2 Controller with mounting brackets

2. Hold the controller with attached brackets up to the rack and move it vertically until rack holes line up
with the bracket holes, then insert and tighten the four number 12-24 screws to secure the brackets to
the rack.
Figure 3 Rack-mount installation
Horizontal surface mounting
Attach the supplied rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the controller within the embossed angled
lines. Place the controller on a table or other sturdy horizontal surface in an uncluttered area. You may want
to secure the networking cables and the power cord to a table leg or other part of the surface structure to
reduce the risk of tripping over the cords.
CAUTION: Make sure the air flow is not restricted around the sides and back of the controller.
Restarting the controller
The controller can be restarted by disconnecting, and then reconnecting the power cord, or by using its
management tool.
Resetting to factory defaults
HP recommends that you use the controller web interface to reset the controller to factory defaults as described
in the HP MSM760 Controllers Installation Guide
