The Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points with or without external antenna ports are only intended for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections.

For AP1020 and AP1030 Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points provided with optional external antenna ports, make sure that all external antennas and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points and their optional external antennas are not suitable for outdoor use.

MAKE SURE that plenum-mounted Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points are powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to comply with safety regulations.

For all Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, verify that the ambient temperature remains between 0 and 40° C (32 and 104° F), taking into account the elevated temperatures that occur when they are installed in a rack.

When multiple Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers are mounted in an equipment rack, be sure that the power source is sufficiently rated to safely run all of the equipment in the rack.

Verify the integrity of the ground before installing Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers in an equipment rack

Suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300.22.C of the National Electrical Code, and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
