Removing the Back Cover

To remove the access point’s back 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 back 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 back-cover retaining screw using a Philips screwdriver (see Figure 4-1).
