Chapter 4 Upgrading the 2.4-GHz Radio

Opening the Access Cover

Opening the Access Cover

To open the 2.4-GHz radio access cover, follow these steps:

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

Step 2 Remove all static-generating items from the work area, such as plastic material, styrofoam cups, and other similar items.

Step 3 Place the access point and the new 2.4-GHz radio (in its antistatic bag) on an antistatic work surface.

Step 4 Discharge any static buildup on your body by touching a grounded surface (antistatic work surface) before proceeding.

Step 5 Position the access point so that the bottom cover is facing up.

Caution The internal access point components and the 2.4-GHz radio can be damaged by ESD from improper handling.

Step 6 Remove the bottom access cover using the T-10 tamper-resistant Torx L-wrench provided with your Cisco radio card (see Figure 4-1).
