Chapter 7 2.4-GHz Radio Upgrade
Installing a 2.4-GHz Radio
Step 5 Insert the radio card into the access point’s mini-PCI connector by following these steps:
a. Tilt the radio card at approximately 20
o
to 30
o
so that its gold pins are aligned with the mini-PCI
connector (see Figure 7-4).
b. Push the card into the mini-PCI connector until it clicks into place.
Step 6 Carefully push the card down (towards the access point’s motherboard) until the card-retaining clips lock
into the notches on the side of the radio card (you will hear a click).
Step 7 Carefully position the antenna wires so that the metal connectors do not touch each other.
Caution Damage to the radio could occur if the antenna connectors are touching when power is applied. If they
are touching, carefully rotate them in opposite directions until they are separated.
Step 8 Reinstall the 2.4-GHz radio access cover and use the T-10 tamper-resistant Torx L-wrench to tighten the
cover’s retaining screw.
Step 9 Remove the backing paper from the 2.4-GHz radio compliance label.
Step 10 Carefully attach the label in the space provided below the access point’s product compliance label as
shown in Figure 7-5.
Figure 7-5 Location of Product Compliance Labels
Note If your access point contains a 5-GHz radio module, there is also a 5-GHz radio compliance label
on the back of the unit.
Note If you access point has an existing 2.4-GHz radio compliance label, place your new 2.4-GHz
radio compliance label over the existing label.
The radio card installation is now complete. To configure the radio with your wireless network settings,
refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.
