Installing the AP in a Plenum

In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling
and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate. Many companies
also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables.
However, these products and cables must comply with certain safety
requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) Standard 2043: "Standard
for Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products
and Their Accessories Installed in Air-Handling Spaces".
The AP has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed
in the plenum only when the following conditions apply:
• The unit uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) to receive power over a
plenum-rated Category 5 Ethernet cable (the power cable must not
be connected to the unit).
• The unit's plastic covers have been removed (this includes the cable
cover, the front cover, and the back cover).

Kensington Security Slot

The AP enclosure includes a Kensington Security Slot for use with a
Kensington locking mechanism. When properly installed, a Kensington
lock can prevent unauthorized personnel from stealing the AP. In
addition, the Kensington locks secures the cable cover in place, which
prevents tampering with the Ethernet and power cables.
