Installing AP433i 45
1.
Place the mounting bracket against the wall with the sliding lock mechanism facing
upwards. The Quick Reference Installation instructions on the bracket should be visible.
2.
Using the holes on the mounting bracket itself as a guide, mark the location on the wall for
the AP bracket mounting screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud.
(If mounting on a wall stud is impossible, use plastic wall anchors on the remaining
screws.)
3.
Drill holes at the locations you marked:
• 3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
•
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
4.
If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
5.
Line the bracket up with the holes and screw in the screws.
6.
Attach the mounting screws to the underside of the AP433i in the holes provided (indi-
cated in
Figure 23 on page 45 ).

7.
Orient the AP433i horizontally so that you can read the Fortinet logo and the Console and
network ports are pointed downwards - this orientation provides optimum MIMO perfor-
mance.
8.
Align the mounting screws on the back of the AP433i with the corresponding holes on the
mounting bracket.
9.
Slide the AP433i downwards until the screws click into the holes. They should seat fairly
firmly.
10.
Slide the mounting bracket’s locking bar to the right, locking the AP in place.
11.
If desired, use the provided clip to lock the bracket shut by sliding it through the aligned
holes on the right-hand side of the bracket.
