CAUTION: Installation and service of Dell products should be performed by Professional Installers in a manner that is consistent
with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries this will require a licensed electrician to
perform this operation. In Japan, this is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.
NOTE: The W-AP270 Series access point does not ship with any power cables. These are available as accessories and must be
ordered separately.
