Installing a 5-GHz Radio Module
To install a new 5-GHz radio module (RM21A or RM22A) into your access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Before you can install a new 5-GHz radio module, you must remove the access cover or an existing 5-GHz radio module (refer to “Removing the 5-GHz Radio Access Cover” or “Removing a 5-GHz Radio Module”).
Step 2 Place the access point on a flat surface so that the unit is upright with the front end facing you.
Step 3 Grasp the new 5-GHz radio module by its base (with the latch opening point down or the antenna pointing up) and insert the card into the access point’s card-bus slot (see Figure 5-4).
