Professional Installation Required

Prior to installing or using an M111, consult with a professional installer trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes, safety, channel, power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for the intended country. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and use comply with local safety and radio regulations.

Surge protection and grounding: If you plan on connecting an outdoor antenna to an M111, make sure that proper lightning surge protection and grounding precautions are taken according to local electrical code. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, fire, equipment damage, or a voided warranty. The HP ProCurve hardware warranty provides no protection against damage caused by static discharge or a lightning strike.

Cabling: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for your given region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements use shielded Ethernet cables.

Country of use: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of use during setup. Once the country has been set, the M111 will automatically limit the available wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the selected country. Entering the incorrect country may result in illegal operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.

Safety: Take note of the following safety information during installation:

If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be sure all safety grounds are securely interconnected.

Network cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (caused by lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).

Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.

An M111 and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the same building (except for outdoor models / antennas), including all PoE-powered network connections as described by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Servicing

There are no user-serviceable parts inside HP ProCurve Networking products. Any servicing, adjustment, maintenance, or repair must be performed only by trained service personnel.
