Mounting The Ap On A Ceiling - HP 525 Installation Manual

Mounting the AP on a ceiling

CAUTION:
Verify that the AP is secured to the mounting bracket to avoid falloff.
•
Do not use this method to mount the AP to a location made of low-intensity materials such as a plaster
•
ceiling. If this installation method is required in such an environment, put a high-intensity plate beneath
the ceiling to secure the installation.
The ceiling tiles must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) thick, and the ceiling must be able to bear a weight
•
of at least 5 kg (1 1.02 lb).
The three bolt holes are needed for mounting the AP on a ceiling as shown in
Figure 11 Bolt holes on the wall-mounting bracket (in mm)
(1) through (3) Bolt holes
To install the AP on a ceiling:
1. Drill three 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter holes in the ceiling where you want to mount the AP. The
distance between the three holes must be the same as the distance between the three bolt holes on
the mounting bracket.
2. Insert the hex-head bolts into the bolt holes on the mounting bracket and the holes in the ceiling.
From above the ceiling, fasten the hex nuts to the hex-head bolts to fix the mounting bracket to the
ceiling.
3. Connect the AP to the network by using an Ethernet cable.
4. Install the AP to the wall-mounting bracket. For more information, see
