Upgrade Overview

This section provides instructions for upgrading the access point 2.4-GHz radio. The following operations summarize the upgrade procedure:

1.Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.

2.Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.

3.Place the access point on an ESD-protected work surface.

4.Open the access point’s 2.4-GHz radio access cover.

5.For an access point without a 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the blank spacer card.

6.For an access point with a 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the existing 2.4-GHz radio card.

7.Install the new 2.4-GHz radio card.

8.Close the access point 2.4-GHz radio access cover.

Caution ESD can damage the Cisco Aironet radio and the internal components of the access point. It is recommended that the 2.4-GHz radio upgrade procedures be performed by an ESD-trained service technician at an ESD-protected workstation.
