power socket located on the bottom of the W-AP93H.

Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity

The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power 
and initializing successfully (see 

Table 1

). See the 

Dell PowerConnect W-Series 

ArubaOS Quick Start Guide

 at 

support.dell.com 

for further details on verifying post-

installation network connectivity

Configuring the W-AP93H

AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning

Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are 
initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored 
on the AP itself. It is recommended that provisioning settings be configured via the 
ArubaOS Web UI only. See the 

Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide

 at 

support.dell.com 

for complete details.

AP Configuration

Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and 
stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) 
but remain stored on the controller.

Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI, ArubaOS CLI, or 
an Airwave Management Platform. See their respective guides for further details: the 

Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide

 or the 

Dell PowerConnect W-

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Dell products at end of life are subject to separate collection and 
treatment in the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland and 
therefore are marked with the symbol shown at the left (crossed-
out wheelie bin). The treatment applied at end of life of these 
products in these countries shall comply with the applicable 
national laws of countries implementing Directive 2002/96EC on 

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

European Union RoHS

Dell products also comply with the EU Restriction of 
Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). EU 
RoHS restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in the 

manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment. Specifically, restricted materials 
under the RoHS Directive are Lead (including Solder used in printed circuit 
assemblies), Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, and Bromine. Some Dell 
products are subject to the exemptions listed in RoHS Directive Annex 7 (Lead in 
solder used in printed circuit assemblies). Products and packaging will be marked 
with the “RoHS” label shown at the left indicating conformance to this Directive.

China RoHS

Dell products also comply with China environmental declaration 
requirements and are labeled with the “EFUP 10” label shown at the 
left.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Dell provides a multi-language document that contains country-specific restrictions 
and additional safety and regulatory information for all Dell access points. This 
document can be viewed or downloaded at
