Flat Surface Mount - Aerohive Networks AP121 Hardware Reference Manual

Chapter 2 The AP170 Platform

Flat Surface Mount

The following steps explain how to mount the AP170 on a flat surface. You will need the plane bracket and
the four sleeve-bolt assemblies.
1. Use the plane bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the surface.
2. Drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole to a depth of 1.5" (38 mm) into each mark.
3. Remove the nuts and washers and hammer the unthreaded end of a sleeve-bolt assembly into each
hole. Make sure the slotted end of the sleeve goes into the wall. Be sure to leave a minimum of 3/8" (9.5
mm) of the threaded bolt protruding from the front of the wall.
If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use 2" (5 cm) threaded screws
and plastic wall anchors (not supplied) to mount the device.

4. Place a lock washer and flat washer on each of the four hex screws and use the screws to attach the
plane bracket to the back of the AP170.
5. Place the holes in the plane bracket over the mounting bolts and attach the unit using a hex nut, lock
washer, and flat washer on each bolt to tighten the unit to the surface. As you tighten the nuts, the
flanges on the back of the bolt sleeve will expand in the hole, securing the device in place.
