Warning Statement 1030 This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building Warning installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations. Statement 1045 Cisco 3310 Mobility Services Engine Getting Started Guide OL-17304-02...
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 Caution There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply; contact Cisco when servicing is required. Safety Guidelines To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the precautions in this section.
Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures on the laser device. • Allow only Cisco authorized service technicians to repair the laser device. Rack Installation Safety Guidelines Before installing your device in a rack, review the following guidelines: •...
(equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). (2) Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 2.75 in. (7 cm). Cisco 3310 Mobility Services Engine Getting Started Guide OL-17304-02...
Verify that the external power source connected to the mobility services engine matches the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your Cisco authorized reseller or local power company. Batteries The mobility services engine might include a real-time clock battery or coin cell battery that contains perchlorate.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple systems connected to the same power source, Cisco recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.

Initial Configuration Requirements Cisco WCS Requirements Cisco WCS 5.1 (or later) or an external FTP server is required for mobility services engine software updates. Note Cisco WCS uses an internal FTP server. Third-party FTP servers cannot run on the same workstation as the Cisco WCS because they use the same communication port.
The username and password are case sensitive. You are now logged into the mobility services engine operating system. Continue to the “Configuring the Mobility Services Engine” section. Cisco 3310 Mobility Services Engine Getting Started Guide OL-17304-02...
The Setup Wizard provides a convenient script to guide you through the initial configuration settings for the mobility services engine. You can activate the Setup Wizard when using the console port. Cisco recommends that you configure all relevant items during initial setup to ensure optimum operation Note of the mobility services engine in your network.
