MSM765zl Overview
The HP ProCurve Networking MSM765zl Mobility Controller is a Services zl
Module-based WLAN controller. It plugs in to either the 5400zl or 8212zl
switches. The MSM765zl Mobility Controller is referred to in this document
as the MSM765zl. New switches need to be prepared according to their
supplied documentation.
A maximum of four MSM765zls can be installed in the same chassis. Under
certain conditions, a maximum of three MSM765zls are supported in the 5406zl
chassis. See “Environmental Specifications” on page 1-5.

Hardware Installation
Installing the MSM765zl
Installing the MSM765zl
To install the MSM765zl into a switch, the switch can be powered on or off.
The following procedure assumes the switch is powered on.
Installation Procedure
1. Use a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screwdriver to unscrew the screws in the
cover plate over the slot where the MSM765zl is to be installed. Remove
the cover, and store the cover plate for possible future use.
2. Hold the MSM765zl by its bulkhead—taking care not to touch the metal
connectors or components on the board.
3. Open the extractor handles.
Installation Precautions
■Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the
MSM765zl. When handling and installing the MSM765zl, follow these
procedures to avoid damage from static electricity:
• Handle the MSM765zl by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching
the components and the circuitry on the board.
• When installing the MSM765zl, equalize any static charge difference
between your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist
strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal body, or by frequently
touching the switch’s metal body.
■The MSM765zl has “low-force”, high-performance connectors. High
insertion forces are not necessary to install the MSM765zl, and should
not be used.
■Ensure the MSM765zl is fully inserted. Press the MSM765zl into the
slot until the bulkhead on the MSM765zl contacts or is very close to
contacting the front face of the switch chassis.
■Once the MSM765zl is fully inserted, screw in the two retaining screws
to secure the MSM765zl in place.
■For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromag-
netic emissions, ensure that a slot cover is installed on any unused
MSM765zl slot. For safety, no more than one slot should be uncovered
at a time when the switch is powered on.
■Respect the temperature specifications for the MSM765zl.

Hardware Installation
Installing the MSM765zl
Verifying the MSM765zl is Installed Correctly
When the MSM765zl is installed properly, it undergoes a self test that takes a
few seconds. This happens both when the switch is powered on after installing
the MSM765zl, and when the MSM765zl is installed while the switch already
has power. The LEDs help determine if the MSM765zl has passed the self test,
as described in the following table.
Error Conditions
Error conditions indicated by the MSM765zl LEDs are described in “Front
Panel Port and LEDs” on page C-1.
Note Allow sufficient time for the MSM765zl to start up, or you will receive an error
message.

a. The maximum operating temperature specification of the chassis is
affected by the number and location of the MSM765zls installed in
the chassis. For the 5400zl chassis, if all four (the maximum number
of MSM765zls allowed in a switch) MSM765zls are installed in the left
hand side of the chassis, the maximum operating temperature spec-
ification is set to 50°C for the chassis. If any MSM765zls are installed
on the right hand side of the chassis, then the temperature specifica-
tion for the chassis is 40°C.
A 5406zl chassis has only three slots on the left. To stay within the
50°C temperature specification, only three MSM765zls are supported
in this chassis.

About MSM765zl Ports
The MSM765zl features two ports, Internet and LAN. These ports do not have
RJ-45 Ethernet jacks. Instead, these ports connect through the switch
backplane and are mapped to specific RJ-45 jacks on an Ethernet module by
VLAN configuration in the switch. The switch references the Internet and LAN
ports according to the switch slot in which the MSM765zl is installed. For
example, if the MSM765zl is installed in slot C, the first port (C1) corresponds
to the Internet port, and the second port (C2) corresponds to the LAN port.
Define and Assign VLANs
1. At the switch CLI prompt, enter:
menu
2. Press Enter. Select Switch Configuration.
