Installing a 5-GHz Radio Module
To install a new 5-GHz radio module (RM20A, RM21A, or RM22A) into your access point, follow these
steps:
Step 1
Before you can install a new 5-GHz radio module, you must remove the access cover or an existing
5-GHz radio module (refer to
“Removing the 5-GHz Radio Access Cover”
or
“Removing a 5-GHz Radio
Module”
).
Step 2
Place the access point on a flat surface so that the unit is upright with the front end facing you.
Step 3
Grasp the new 5-GHz radio module by its base (with the latch opening point down or the antenna
pointing up) and insert the card into the access point’s card-bus slot (see
Figure 8-4
).
