Mounting The Ap330 Or Ap350; Ceiling Mount - Aerohive AP330 User Manual

OUNTING THE
Using the mounting plate and track clip, you can mount the AP330 or AP350 to the tracks of a dropped
ceiling grid. Using just the mounting plate, you can mount the AP to any surface that can support its weight
(AP330: 1.5 lb., 0.68 kg; AP330: 2.375 lb. (1.08 kg)).

Ceiling Mount

To mount the AP330 or AP350 to a track in a dropped ceiling, use one of the two rail mounts that ship with
the product, depending on whether the ceiling track is flush with the ceiling tiles or recessed:
• 15/16" flush ceiling rail mount
• 15/16" recessed ceiling rail mount
For narrower tracks, you can order a pair of 9/16" rail mounts from Aerohive
(AH-ACC-9-16-CLIP-330-AP350). One rail mount in the pair is flush and the other is recessed.
If necessary, nudge the adjacent ceiling tiles slightly away from the track to clear some space. Attach the
appropriate rail mount to the track, drill a hole in the ceiling tile, and then attach the power and Ethernet
cables to the AP, as shown in

Press the rail mount against the ceiling track so that the track contacts
the two pressure tabs and pushes them flush with the rail mount.

Rotate the rail mount until the two pressure
tabs click into place, gripping the ceiling track

In the open space not covered by the L-shaped
rail mount, drill a hole in the ceiling tile (not
shown). Then pass one or both Ethernet cables
through the hole, and if you plan to supply
power from an AC power source rather than
through PoE, pass the power cable through as
well. Finally, connect the cables to the AP.
You can slide the rail mount along the ceiling track if you need to adjust its location.
With the AP upside down, align the two flexible V-shaped tabs and the security tab extension on the rail
mount with the two tab slots and the security screw cavity on the underside of the AP, and then push the AP
upward until it clicks into place as shown in
