HP 425 Wireless Dual Radio 802.11n Access Point Quickstart
Selecting the installation site
Consider the following:
•
To meet regulatory RF exposure requirements, install the AP and any
external antennas at least 40 cm (15.75 inches) from any person.
•
Install APs away from RF-emitting electronic devices, such as microwave
ovens.
•
Do not install APs in a location where water seepage or condensation
occurs.
•
Do not place the AP on a metal surface.
•
Install the AP where there are no obstacles and wireless clients can receive
a strong signal from the AP.
Installation
The AP can be mounted on a non-metallic table or shelf, a wall, or a ceiling.
When mounting on a wall or ceiling, mount the AP bracket first, and then
attach the AP to the bracket.

Preparing for installation
HP recommends that you connect power and verify the Ethernet cable and
LEDs before you install the AP in a hard-to-reach location.

user-supplied power strip with lightning protection.
