Upgrade Overview
Upgrade Overview
This section provides instructions for upgrading the access point 2.4-GHz radio. The following
operations summarize the upgrade procedure:
• Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.
• Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.
• Place the access point on an ESD-protected work surface.
• Open the access point’s 2.4-GHz radio access cover.
• For an access point without the 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the blank spacer card.
• For an access point with the 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the existing 2.4-GHz card.
• Install the new 2.4-GHz radio card.
• 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.
Note After you install the new radio, all configurable radio settings will be at default values. Refer to
Chapter 7, “Configuring Radio Settings,” for complete instructions on configuring the new radio.
