XD Series High Density Access Points

3. Cut an access hole for the cable(s) in the ceiling and draw enough cable through to attach to the AP after it
is installed.
4. Install two screws in the ceiling so that they protrude 1/8” (.32 cm) between the mounting surface and the
head of the screw.
5. Connect the cable that carries power and data to GIG1/PoE (shown in
red). If you are using a Xirrus-supplied injector, its CONNECT LED
should light (for 70W and higher injectors, it is OK if it blinks). If power
is being properly supplied to the AP, the LEDs on its front will light and
then commence blinking in their boot pattern. An additional data
connection may be plugged into GIG2 (optional).
6. Align the holes in the back of the AP over the screws protruding from the
ceiling. Push the AP up on the screw heads and rotate the AP to the right until it locks in place.
3B-Ceiling Mount with Mounting Plate
The following steps use a mounting plate, which offers ease of dismount and a locking option for the AP.
1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP by pushing it down
and rotating it to the left
2. Use the four holes on the AP mounting plate to mark the placement of four
screws to install in the ceiling. You must supply four screws of an
appropriate type for your ceiling construction type.
3. Drill and prepare holes for the screws as appropriate.
4. Cut an access hole for the cable(s) in the ceiling and draw enough cable
through to attach to the AP after it is installed.
5. Align the AP mounting plate over the prepared locations and secure it
with the screws. Do not over-tighten.
6. Connect the cable that carries power and data to GIG1/PoE (shown in red).
If you are using a Xirrus-supplied injector, its CONNECT LED should light
(for 70W and higher injectors, it is OK if it blinks). If power is being
properly supplied to the AP, the LEDs on its front will light and then
commence blinking in their boot pattern. An additional data connection
may be plugged into GIG2 (optional).
7. Align the two slots in the back of the AP chassis shown here with the
corresponding tabs in the AP mounting plate. Make sure that the locking
slug lines up with the matching hole on the mounting plate (see Step 9
below).
8. Push the AP chassis up on the mounting plate tabs and rotate the AP to the
right until it snaps in place.
